The OB-Xd is a synthesizer that has been designed to recreate the sound and behavior of the Oberheim OB-X. However, the original design of the OB-X was limited in some ways, so the OB-Xd includes a number of additional or altered features. One key feature of the OB-Xd is its implementation of micro random detuning, which helps to create a fuller, richer sound. Overall, the OB-Xd has been designed to produce a sound that is as good and as rich as the original OB-X.
Understanding the importance of legacy projects, discoDSP offer release 2 builds of OB-Xd for those who need compatibility with older projects. This ensures that our users can continue to work seamlessly on their existing creations without any compatibility issues.
OB-Xd 3.1 is available to PC, Mac and Linux users (VST3, AU, AAX and LV2).
