For the first time in over 40 years, the legendary analogue Oberheim sound returns.
True Oberheim Sound
The OB-X8 sounds like a classic Oberheim because it is a classic Oberheim. Its 100% analogue audio circuitry blends into the mix like no other synth.
Completely analogue
The OB-X8's audio signal path is completely analogue, full of warmth and power. It's the same unmistakable Oberheim sound that made legendary songs like Prince's "1999", Van Halen's "Jump" or Rush's "Tom Sawyer" so unforgettable. And now it's your turn to take your own music to a new level.
All-new sounds
The classic OB Series factory sounds you've heard on countless recordings are all included in the OB-X8. But that's just the beginning: our network of world-class sound designers has created a host of stunning new sounds specifically for the OB-X8. And because the OB-X8 has a clear and easy-to-understand structure, you can create and save your own sounds in a flash.
Three in one
The OB-X8 combines the three different sound architectures of the OB-X,
OB-Xa, and OB-8 in a single instrument. The individual filter types and other characteristic features of each model have been faithfully reproduced to provide an authentic and unique OB experience.
In addition, the individual elements of the originals can also be combined and mixed to create sounds that were never possible with the original synths. Never before has there been an OB synth as versatile and powerful as the new OB-X8.
