The Korena take

This OB-X8 package combines the desktop module with a Proline PSS20 sustain pedal, Proline PXP10 expression pedal, and audio cables. The module uses an all-analog path with discrete VCOs, VCAs, and filters, and brings OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 voice architectures into one instrument. Its direct control layout gives hands-on access to synth parameters for patch creation. Stereo or mono outputs, MIDI In/Out/Thru, USB, and pedal inputs make it ready for studio routing or taking a compact rig on the road.
