In May, 2022, the Oberheim OB-X8, a new 8-voice analog synthesizer with the voice architecture and filters of three classic Oberheim models: the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8, along with functionality and features not included on the original models, was announced. The new synthesizer is manufactured by Sequential in partnership with Tom Oberheim. [10 ...
The SEM, Two Voice, Four Voice, and Eight Voice were eventually replaced by a series of microprocessor-controlled synthesizers, beginning with the OB-1 and culminating in the OB-X and OB-Xa, which were fully programmable and significantly more compact than their predecessors, which Oberheim discontinued production of in 1979. [1]
As with the OB-6, the OB-X8, which offers features from all of Oberheim Electronics' classic OB-series polysynths-the OB-X, OB-Xa, OB-SX, and OB-8-in a single unit, was designed and built in collaboration with Sequential. [27] In 2024, Oberheim released the Oberheim TEO-5, a polysynth with an all-new design. [28]
Oberheim OB-X internal view. The OB-X was the first Oberheim synthesizer based on a single printed circuit board called a "voice card" (still using mostly discrete components) rather than the earlier SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) used in Oberheim semi-modular systems, which had required multiple modules to achieve polyphony.

The Oberheim Two-Voice Pro is an analog music synthesizer that was produced from 2015-2018 [1] under the Tom Oberheim brand. It is an updated version of the original Oberheim Two-Voice, which was produced from 1975-1979. This instrument was designed around coupling two SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) modules. [2]
The Oberheim Xpander (/ ɛ k s ˈ p æ n d ər /) is an analog synthesizer launched by Oberheim in 1984 and discontinued in 1988. It is essentially a keyboardless, six-voice version of the Matrix-12 (released a year later, in 1985). Utilizing Oberheim's Matrix Modulation technology, the Xpander combined analog audio generation (VCOs, VCF and ...
The OB•12 was the second and last Oberheim synth whose creation had not involved original Oberheim company founder Tom Oberheim, the first one being the Oberheim OB-Mx. Despite a brilliant look, an advanced synthesis engine, numerous features, a great hands-on interface and a very particular sound, the instrument failed to gain musicians ...
