The Oberheim OB-X8 desktop module with sustain pedal, expression pedal and audio cables has everything you need to create classic synth sounds, plus all the sonic power of the Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 in a footprint that's compact enough for studios of any size, and convenient enough to take out on the road.

The OB-X8 desktop module boasts an identical sound engine to the keyboard version, featuring an all-analog signal path with discrete VCOs, VCAs and filters. And with its knob-per-function sound designing experience, you'll have immediate access to virtually all of the synth's parameters, allowing you to create your own unique sounds with ease and precision. The audio signal path of the OB-X8 is all-analog, filled with warmth and punch. It’s the same trademark Oberheim sound that made iconic tracks like "1999" by Prince, "Jump" by Van Halen and "Tom Sawyer" by Rush so unforgettable. And now it’s yours to enhance your own music.

All-New Sounds
The classic OB-series factory sounds that you know from countless recordings are all here. But that’s just the start: world-class sound designers have created jaw-dropping new sounds just for the OB-X8. And because the OB-X8 has a clear and easy-to-grasp set of controls, creating your own sounds is as easy as turning a few knobs and saving what you like.

The OB-X8 combines the three different voice architectures of the OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 into a single instrument. The individual filter types and other unique characteristics of each model have been faithfully reproduced, giving you the most authentic OB experience possible. You can even mix elements of different models to create sounds never possible with the originals. There’s never been an OB-series synth as powerful and versatile.

OB insiders know that the myriad of "Page 2" functions unlocked the hidden power of the original OB-8. The OB-X8 includes all of the classic Page 2 parameters and new ones for 2022, giving you direct access to more than 40 nuanced controls, such as additional SEM filter modes, per-voice panning, LFO keyboard tracking, Mod delay time and envelope inversion, independent pulse width control and much more.

Proline PSS20 Universal Piano-Style Sustain Pedal
The Proline PSS20 universal piano-style sustain pedal is housed in a wide chassis with rubber skid on the bottom to prevent your pedal from tipping or sliding during performances. Its switchable polarity makes it compatible with nearly all synths or pianos—Yamaha, Roland, KORG, Williams and much more. And the PSS20’s durable internal mechanism offers silent operation and years of reliable use on stage and in the studio. It includes a top-quality 6' cable with 1/4" plug.

Proline keyboard pedals are designed and built for real-world working musicians who want to expand their expressive control. Each is designed for long-term reliability, playing stability and durability for many years to come.

Proline PXP10 Universal Expression Pedal
The Proline PXP10 Universal expression pedal is designed to control volume, vibrato or any other continuous controller parameter you have available to your keyboard or effects setup. Its Range Knob limits the sweep of the pedal, keeping effect changes to a usable area. The PXP10’s switchable polarity allows compatibility with nearly all devices with a 1/4" sustain jack—Yamaha, Roland, KORG, Williams and much more. A rugged-build quality and tough chassis ensures reliable usage for years, while its thick-coated rubber bottom mitigates "pedal creep" on the floor. The Proline PXP10 is also an ideal add-on for guitarist pedalboards with expression pedal effects options. Includes a top-quality six-foot cable with 1/4" plug.
