OB-Xd

OB-Xd - a classic redefined

OB-Xd brings enhanced MIDI control, streamlined mapping, and improved hardware compatibility to elevate your workflow. Expanded CC mappings now cover parameters like Voice Multiply and Filter Falloff, while mapping overlaps and LFO MIDI listener issues have been resolved for precise modulation control. The interface is refined for smooth adjustments across platforms, and Korg MS2000 MIDI XML mappings are now fixed. The updated manual ensures every detail is at your fingertips.

While not copying originals, some of the features were taken to a better point. Continuous blendable multimode filter (HP-Notch(BP)-HP in 12 dB mode and 4-1 pole in 24 dB mode).

OB-Xd is based on the Oberheim OB-X. It attempts to recreate its sound and behavior, but as the original was very limited in some important ways a number of things were added to the original design.

The OB-Xd was designed to sound as good and as rich as the original. It implements micro random detuning which is a big part of that sound. However, it was not designed as a self-contained completely independent soft-synth. It needs to be contained within a VST framework where things like transposition, automation, layering, arpeggiation, etc., are available.

Also, like many synths of the OB-X's generation, the OB-Xd has no internal effects so its sounds and textures can be greatly enhanced by the use of additional processing like chorus, reverb, delay, etc.

Additionally, OB-Xd features integrated SoundForce SFC-OB MIDI CC XML mapping.
