SOUND MODULE OR SYNTHESIZER The OB-X8 synthesizer is designed to bring the classic Oberheim tone to a new generation. Now, all of the OB-X8's presets, synthesis functions and sound editing controls are available in a compact desktop version. Although this version does not have the 61-note Fatar keyboard or the pitch and mod levers, it is still a powerful synthesizer in a practical size for small studios or taking on the road. The tabletop OB-X8 has an identical sound engine to the keyboard version, with a full analog signal path and function buttons to access virtually all synth parameters and create unique sounds. The OB-X8's analog signal path is the same as that of the OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 that were used on many iconic recordings. The synthesizer includes all the classic OB-8 'Page 2' parameters, as well as new ones for 2022, and offers the ability to combine elements from all three OB models to create new sounds. The tabletop OB-X8 features 8 voices of pure analog polyphony, genuine Curtis filters, over 400 factory programs, high-resolution OLED display, and many other features. Additionally, it includes enhancements such as additional SEM filter modes, velocity response, channel Aftertouch response, and over 600 user-programmable prsets. Inputs and outputs include stereo and mono L/R outputs, volume, sustain and filter pedal inputs.
