What it is
Oberheim OB-X by GForce Software is an officially licensed software recreation of the legendary 1984 Oberheim OB-X analog polysynth, the instrument behind classic tracks from Depeche Mode, Queen, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea. It captures the original hardware's warm, punchy analog character and layers on modern additions like 16-voice polyphony, X-Modifier deep modulation, and a built-in effects rack with chorus, stereo delay, and reverb.
Who it's for
Synth-focused producers working in electronica, EDM, drum and bass, ambient, or progressive rock who want vintage analog pads, basses, and leads without tracking down or maintaining a real 1980s Oberheim.
Key features
- Up to 16-voice polyphony with monophonic, legato, and unison modes
- X-Modifier technology opens up modulation routing well beyond what the original hardware allowed
- A built-in arpeggiator and chord mode with scale selection speed up sound design
- Ships with 400+ presets from professional sound designers in a fully resizable UI
