OB-Xd is based on the Oberheim OB-X. It attempts to recreate its sound and behavior, but as the original was very limited in some important ways, a number of things were added or altered to the original design.
OB-Xd was designed to sound as good and as rich as the original. It implements micro random detuning. Also, like many synths of the OB-X's generation, the OB-Xd has no internal effects so its sounds and textures can be greatly enhanced by the use of additional processing like chorus, reverb, delay, etc.

Incredible sound, really great synth but can you create an easy system to store our own preset? I don’t know, maybe with a custom bank?
I can’t find easily my preset!
Ho and can you make an interface capable to scroll on the very bottom of the ipad?
Great work anyway
A développer très vite.
Peut-on avoir tous les banks arpegiateurs en presets s’il vous plaît.
Limité
Pas de clavier,ok. Pas de preset, c’est beaucoup moins bien.
Obélix xd
Merci d ajouter un clavier a cette appli , sauvegarde de présets et auv3 merci 🙏🏻
Mostly perfect
Ever since I was a kid, I was obsessed with the sound of the Oberheim Ob X series , so I had to get this as soon as I noticed it in the App Store. It is exactly as awesome as I hoped for…mostly. I know the GUI has been optimized for the iPhone now and is much improved from earlier versions. There is one issue though… when using it as an AU in GarageBand, I can not access the last two banks as if I try to scroll down , the bottom two banks are cut off, and one of those banks is the empty one for user presets. Now the work around for the other is to enter standalone mode, choose the preset and hit “copy” load up a “default” preset in one of the few accessible banks that have one, and then hit paste in the menu. The tricky part is, if you forget to load up a default preset first, you’ll accidentally overwrite the loaded preset. That is the legit only issue I have but it’s kind of a big one
One of the best sounding iOS synths
This app sounds amazing. To my ears this sounds as good as the Moog synth apps. I’ve owned an ob-6 and own many Oberheim desktop plugins. This app nails the oberheim sound.
Was Pitiful
Thanks for this update. Now the app is usable on an iPhone, even though I can't read a single word on the unit - at least I can access presets and the menu.
Original Feedback:
Simply not usable on an iPhone. You need a magnifying glass to even see the controls, and you NEED those as the presets just auto-scroll from the first 20 to the last 20, missing the bulk of presets in the middle. How anyone can charge money for such a waste of time and not be banned from the app store is a mystery. This is a super pathetic excuse for an app.
The real deal!
I owned the original OBXA back in 1978. This version is so realistic, I get to shut my eyes and remember great memories of Music School. This is the closest iOS, VST, Au emulation there is in my opinion. Not only 5 stars, but 10 stars of gratitude and awe on how you managed to create this so realistic version of a Monster Synth. A big thank you!
Oh my!
Recreated perfectly. The presets alone are worth ten bucks. Nicely done!
Excellent Synth😎
Great sounding! A lot of USEABLE presets! Incorporating into my live rig.
