Getting Started

OB-Xf is a virtual synthesizer inspired by the venerable Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 synthesizers. It is a continuation and modernatization of the last open source release of OB-Xd by 2DaT and later discoDSP.

OB-Xf is free and open source software, which you can use for your music in whatever form you see fit. It is available as a CLAP, VST3, AUv2, and standalone application.

To ask questions, report bugs or issues, or help develop OB-Xf, visit the Surge Synth Team Discord server.
