Returning for the first time in over 40 years with help of the Focusrite organization and renowned synth makers, Sequential - the Oberheim OB-X8 revives the legendary analog sounds pioneered by visionary inventor Tom Oberheim and beckons in a 21st Century incarnation of one of the finest-sounding analog synthesizers ever made.

Rejuvenated for a new generation of artists, the fundamental sound of the OB-X8 remains just as unchanged by time or technology as the company’s passion for creating one of the finest-sounding analog synthesizers ever made.

Combining three different voice architectures of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 into a single instrument, the OB-X8 is the comprehensive Oberheim experience, delivering all the vintage character of the original models with a whole range of new and exciting sounds and subtle modern additions.
