What Oberheim OB-X does
Vintage-style knobs add analog imperfections, and the voice count reaches 16-voice polyphony. Modulation is expanded through X-Modifiers, which are dedicated LFOs and ADSRs that can reach almost every parameter, and four programmable Macros allow several sounds to be shaped at once. Chorus, delay and reverb effects are built in, along with chord mode scales, monophonic, polyphonic and legato unison trigger modes, and per-voice panning for a wide stereo image.
Programmable aftertouch and expanded velocity controls add playability. Torrent and magnet link versions of the release are reported, with a repack often packed as .rar or .iso, so a free full version download under this name is the query most people type.
