    The OB-X8 is the most faithful, authoritative renewal of an analog classic possible — with all of the warmth, subtlety, and presence of the originals. The OB-X8 is engineered to be the best modern OB ever created.

    Creating the classic OB sound required more than just replicating vintage oscillators, filters, and envelopes. The Oberheim design team exhaustively analyzed and recreated the complex interactions between the various components of each OB-series synth to capture their nuances and character.
