Sequential Oberheim OB-X8 Desktop Module

The Sequential Oberheim OB-X8 Desktop Module brings the legendary Oberheim analog sound into a compact, studio-friendly format without compromising performance or sonic character. Designed by Tom Oberheim and built with the same acclaimed analog engine as the OB-X8 keyboard, this desktop module faithfully recreates the iconic tones of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 synthesizers. Featuring a true 100% analog signal path, intuitive knob-per-function controls, and premium build quality, it is an ideal choice for professional musicians, producers, composers, and sound designers seeking authentic vintage Oberheim sound in a space-saving design.

The OB-X8 Desktop Module features 8-voice polyphony, two discrete SEM/OB-X-lineage voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) per voice, authentic SEM and Curtis filter modes, and meticulously modeled envelope responses that capture the character of the original OB-series synthesizers. Modern enhancements such as bi-timbral operation, a Vintage control, enhanced unison, programmable stereo panning, an arpeggiator, and extensive MIDI/USB connectivity make it equally at home in modern studios and live performance setups.
