Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
OB-X8 Desktop Module puts eight analog voices and two discrete VCOs and VCFs per voice into a 22 x 8.5 x 4-inch format. It combines reproduced OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 voice architectures, allowing elements from those models to be mixed into new patches. More than 400 factory programs provide a starting point, while stereo or mono output, MIDI In/Out/Thru, USB, and pedal inputs support studio routing and stage connections. OS v2 adds further sound-shaping and performance options.
