We have an Oberheim OB-X8 Analog Synthesizer in brand-new condition, unused, and still in its original packaging, ready to roll.
The Oberheim OB-X8 Analog Synthesizer marks the return of Tom Oberheim and the iconic OB-series. Merging the voice architectures and filter types of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8, it offers a unique blend of classic analogue tones with modern flexibility.
With over 400 presets, including original factory sounds, the OB-X8 delivers a rich library straight out of the box.
Built with a 100% analogue signal path, this polyphonic synthesizer features dual VCOs per voice and classic waveforms such as saw, square/pulse, triangle, and noise, making this unit ideal for sound designers and music producers chasing that vintage Oberheim sound.
A 61-key FATAR keybed with velocity and aftertouch provides expressive playability, while the Vintage knob recreates the quirks of old-school synths. The OLED display enables quick and intuitive navigation for both studio and stage setups.
True Analogue Power with Curtis Filters and SEM VCFs
The Oberheim OB-X8 Analog Synthesizer is a testament to Tom Oberheim's legendary legacy, offering a fully analogue audio path complete with classic Curtis filters and dual SEM/OB-X VCOs per voice.
Designed for sound purists, this eight-voice polyphonic synthesizer features four analogue waveform generators, a dream for creative musicians and producers. The premium 61-key FATAR keybed ensures expressive control, while a high-resolution OLED display provides precise navigation of sounds, settings, and modulation parameters.
Three Classic Oberheim Synths in One
The OB-X8 combines the signature tone of three iconic synthesizers: the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8. These distinctive voice architectures are faithfully recreated, including their original analogue filter types, enabling you to blend and shape sounds with stunning authenticity. The ability to layer and combine these classic voices gives rise to entirely new timbres, pushing creative possibilities far beyond what was once possible.
Page 2 Reimagined: Advanced Sound Sculpting
Inspired by the original OB-8's 'Page 2' features, the OB-X8 introduces over 40 extended controls, including SEM filter modes, per-voice panning, LFO keyboard tracking, and envelope inversion. These additions provide unprecedented depth for sound design. Enhanced expression levers let you bend, modulate, and perform with full tactile control, ideal for both live performance and studio sessions.
Modern Upgrades, Vintage Character
While rooted in vintage design, the OB-X8 is packed with modern upgrades. The new Vintage knob simulates voice-to-voice variation found in original hardware units, adding character and unpredictability.
It includes over 600 user-programmable presets, adjustable oscillator and noise levels, per-program pan control, and bi-timbral capabilities for layering or split-keyboard functionality. Dive into a sonic archive of 400+ factory sounds, including patches from the OB-X, OB-SX, OB-Xa, and OB-8.
Timeless Design, Modern Connectivity
Styled with a vintage aesthetic, the OB-X8 features retro wood side panels, classic rotary dials, and dedicated sections for modulation, oscillators, envelopes, and filters, mirroring the design of the original OB-8.
Built for today's workflow, it now includes USB connectivity, along with MIDI I/O and thru, stereo/mono outputs, and external control inputs for volume, sustain, and filtering. Whether on stage or in the studio, the OB-X8 bridges the gap between vintage analogue synthesizers and modern music production environments.
