Experience faster load times, smoother navigation, and quick rendering. OB-Xd is available for free download via discoDSP (Mac version 11.5 MB download size, ZIP archive, VST plugin format for Mac OS X / Windows version 6.64 MB download size, ZIP archive, both 32 & 64-bit VST plugin format for Windows). XD now runs on devices with Apple Silicon M1 processors. This isn’t just one of the best freeware emulations of Oberheim’s early polyphonic synthesizers OB-Xd is also one of the best virtual analogue synths available on the freeware market, with the same fullness and warmth you would expect from any classic analogue synthesizer. Also, there are options for keytracking the filter frequency cutoff and “High Quality” mode.īoth the filter and amplitude envelopes are basic ADSR envelopes, so there’s no mystery there, but I must draw attention to the “Voice Variation” section, where you can fine tune the stereo panning of each of the eight voices available in the voice handling window, velocity sensitivity for both envelopes, and a simple depth control for mod-wheel to vibrato sensitivity, which you can also turn down completely. In the “Filter” section there are intuitive controls for a “juicy” 12dB/octave resonant low-pass filter with an optional 24dB slope, and a “Multi” control that fades between lowpass behavior on the left, to either notch (by default) or bandpass (if “BP” switch is selected) behavior at fifty percent, to high-pass behavior on the right. In the “Oscillators” section, there are controls for oscillator frequency in hertz (even though the knob reads out a linear scale of 0-100), pulse width modulation for optional/additional pulse wave, and a small handful of controls for oscillator mix, a cross-modulation multiplier, oscillator detune, white noise, a pitch envelope routed to the filter envelope and a brightness control for adjusting clarity of higher harmonics. Portamento, pitch-bend range up to a whole octave and as much as eight unison voices (mono only) with a stereo spread control are available in the “Control” section, next to the “Modulation” section, where you have a global rate control, optional sine, square and sample & hold waveforms (or a combination thereof) and two separate depth controls with independent routing for each of the two oscillators and filter cutoff. So i downloaded the synth, but did not find instructions as to where it. The master volume and tuning controls, along with options for MIDI learn and voice handling, can be found within the global “Manual” section. OBXD is a free Oberheim emulation plugin developed by 2DaT. OB-Xd hasn’t changed much in the last few years in terms of its overall design, though significant chances have been made to the source code throughout the beta phase and the discoDSP version loads up with a more modern skin, though I’m sure Oberheim purists might prefer the black and blue pin-striped GUI.ĭon’t worry, the controls are exactly the same as before, even though the new GUI has slightly moved things around a bit.
