DiscoDSP has introduced OB-Xd Synthesizer Version 3.0, a major update to the software synth based on the Oberheim OB-X hardware synth.
Here’s what’s new in OB-Xd v3.0:
- The synthesizer features enhanced oscillator and filter capabilities, along with new amplitude and MIDI enhancements.
- The oscillator section includes a pulse width offset for Oscillator 2, modulation of pulse width by the Filter Envelope for one or both oscillators.
- The advanced filter features self-oscillation at high resonance, adjustable falloff, a blendable envelope shape, inversion of the envelope output, and refined keytracking control. Additionally, a level difference knob maintains consistent audio output.
- The amplitude and filter section introduces a new attack envelope shape, LFO synchronization with DAW BPM, and options for oversampling.
- MIDI and preset functionalities are also enhanced.
Pricing and Availability:
OB-Xd v3.0 is available now for $49 USD. Users who purchased OB-Xd 2.14 after November 1st will receive a free license update to 3.0. Others can upgrade for just $9.99 in the Members Area.
Looks even worse than the OB-6 module. At least it doesn’t exist.
How will you compare it to the one you design, that also doesn’t exist

omg that was really funny (and true).
OB-6 desktop looks great – also much better than the keys version.
It’s worth pointing out you can download a free version in AU and VST format without oversampling available. I just did and it sound great.
Great sounding plugin! The preset management is a bit clumsy, but other than that it’s cool.
Its official: we can now issue an Oberheim of one kind or another to every child born in the U.S. for the next year. I’ve played a few real ones and even the software versions hold up pretty well.
That was funny, but basically captures how it is… It never ceases to amaze me the mindset of some types of people/companies who see that there are a hundred versions of something, but still figure they may as well do it yet again… I guess I think too small instead of trying to get my piece of the pie LOL.
This plugin has been around since 2014. When it was originally released, there was almost nothing else on the market that emulated Oberheim synths.
