Sam Ash now stocks the Oberheim OB-X8, a modern instrument that combines the voice architectures of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 with contemporary performance and connectivity features for today’s musicians.
-- The Oberheim OB-X8 synthesizer—featuring filter architectures from three classic models and a pure analog audio path—is now in stock and ready to ship from Sam Ash. The OB-X8 combines voice architectures from the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 into a single instrument, while reproducing the individual filter types and characteristics that defined each model. Players can also mix elements across models to create new sounds beyond the original designs.

The OB-X8 delivers the classic Oberheim sound heard on iconic recordings, and its design emphasizes hands-on control and expressive performance. The synthesizer features multiple analog filter configurations, including the classic SEM-lineage OB-X filter with additional modes (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch), plus Curtis CEM3320 filter options associated with the OB-Xa and OB-8, offering both 2-pole and 4-pole operation, the team of Gear Experts at Sam Ash explains.
"The Oberheim design team exhaustively analyzed and recreated the complex interactions between the various components of each OB-series synth to capture their nuances and character," the team explains. "The result is the most faithful, authoritative renewal of an analog classic possible—with all of the warmth, subtlety, and presence of the originals."
This 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer comes with 400+ factory programs, including factory sounds from the OB-X, OB-SX, OB-Xa, and OB-8. Users can store their own creations across 600+ user program locations. Bi-timbral capability allows two presets to be used simultaneously for splits and doubles. The 61-key Fatar keyboard supports velocity and channel aftertouch for expressive control—capabilities the original OB-series instruments did not provide.
As a family-owned retailer with a 100-year legacy in music gear and now part of the Gonher Music Group, Sam Ash is fully operational exclusively online, backed by a Gear Expert Team available via phone, chat, and email to help customers confirm compatibility and choose the right setup.
