Obxd is a new free Windows VST plugin synth that's based on - but not a direct copy of - Oberheim's OB-X. It takes the hardware's 'sound and behaviour' and then adds new features that are designed to overcome its perceived limitations. OBXD is the work of plugin developer 2Dat and has been one of the most popular free VST released to date. It is a powerful virtual analog synthesizer emulating many of the fat and lush sounds associated with the original instrument. Included are many banks and presets from the open source community.

While not copying originals, some of the features were taken to a better point. Continuous blendable multimode filter (HP-Notch(BP)-HP in 12 dB mode and 4-1 pole in 24 dB mode). 32 and 64 bit versions included.

Obxd Virtual Analog Synthesizer Free
OB-Xd is based on the Oberheim OB-X. It attempts to recreate its sound and behavior, but as the original was very limited in some important ways a number of things were added or altered to the original design.
The OB-Xd was designed to sound as good and as rich as the original. It implements micro random detuning which is a big part of that sound. However, it was not designed as a self-contained completely independent soft-synth. It needs to be contained within a VST framework where things like transposition, automation, layering, arpeggiation, etc., are available.
Also, like many synths of the OB-X's generation, the OB-Xd has no internal effects so its sounds and textures can be greatly enhanced by the use of additional processing like chorus, reverb, delay, etc.

If you’re unfamiliar with the OB-X, its user manual can easily be found from various sources on the net.
