OB-X8 Evolved: Free v2.0 Update Delivers Powerful New Features

OB-X8 free update v2.0 has been released   This is a transformative OS release that unlocks a universe of creative possibilities for new and existing users of Oberheim’s OB-X8.

The OB-X8 is a true modern legend. And now, version 2.0 builds on the Oberheim legacy by summoning immersive binaural worlds and stacking simultaneously selectable oscillator waveforms. Users can ignite more creativity and expand their sound palette with a fresh new low pass filter type and extended Split and Double memory locations. 

The addition of poly chain allows for 32-voice epics with multiple instruments connected. OB-X8 owners can now sculpt nuanced dreamscapes with MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).
