Oberheim OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer (1981) “Oberfett Xa“
May 8, 2018
(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound
supported by UVI:
Oberheim OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer from the year 1981
The demo video shows some self programmed sounds.
The sound character of the curtis chip based OB-Xa is very different to the early discrete and SEM based OB-X from the year 1979.
The OB-Xa use the same Curtis (CEM) chips as the Sequential Prophet-5 but the sound is different.
The OB-Xa was available with 4, 6 or 8 voice cards.
Used by:
Van Halen, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Gary Numan, Rush, Prince, Foreigner, Vangelis, New Order and much more
external fx: a bit delay
