![]() ![]() You can pay US$49 for a supported copy, but it’s under a GPL license, with source code. Most significantly, the OB-Xd is free and open source. You BYO effects and whatnot, but certainly we have a lot of those in our hosts and plug-in collections anyway. The approach of the OB-Xd, though, is to simply focus on the synth, and retain the essentials of the Oberheim original – just not slavishly so. (Arpeggiator, unison mode, extra generators, more voices, and tons of effects.) And commercial plug-ins like Arturia’s OB-Xa – which I reviewed favorably – do give you loads of extras. It seems like the OB-X is the target of a lot of interest lately. DiscoDSP just released 2.0 of their open-source plug-in inspired by the Oberheim OB-X, with new features, Linux and high-res display support, and more.
