Oberheim OB-8

Eight-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer

The Oberheim OB-8, launched in early 1983, is an eight-voice two-part multitimbral analog synthesizer and the last of the original OB-series polysynths. Each voice has two VCOs and switchable two- and four-pole filters, with a 61-note keyboard, arpeggiator, programmable LFO and envelope modulation, expanded 'Page 2' functions, and MIDI on later units.

  • Oberheim OB-X Series

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Oberheim OB-X series is the line of integrated, programmable analog polyphonic synthesizers that defined the Oberheim sound from 1979 onward. Beginning with the OB-X and continuing through the OB-Xa and OB-8, the series replaced the earlier stacked-SEM voice cards with internal voice boards and patch memory. The modern OB-X8 revives the line, combining the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 voice architectures in one instrument.
