Arturia OB-Xa V (Software Download)

Description

The OB-Xa V takes the immense analog power of the fat, aggressive sounding OB-Xa from the 80´s charts and into the modern era. Faithful to the sound of the original and supercharged with new features, OB-Xa V will take you for a wild sonic ride. Released in December 1980, the OB-Xa made a massive statement in the world of analog synths. Following the release of accessible digital synthesizers, Oberheim brought in added polyphony, big sound, and impressive power to show the world what synth greatness really means. It became an instant rival to its main competitor, Sequential Circuits’ Prophet 5.

OB-Xa is a hugely iconic synth behind Van Halen’s hit ‘Jump’ and albums by Prince, Queen, Bon Jovi, Billy Idol, Chaka Khan, The Police, and more. Its dangerous, all-embracing sound is perfect for expressing the epic drama of life. It’s used today by the likes of Flume, Chrome Sparks, Calvin Harris, and Venetian Snares, entering a new dimension of electronic music. Arturia´s faithful reproduction of OB-Xa, with extra inspiration taken from the OB-X and OB-8 for satisfying results, is perfect for keyboardists and synth programmers.
