The GForce Software OB-E V2, their second-generation recreation of the legendary Oberheim OB-8, was created in partnership with Tom Oberheim and ex-Oberheim engineer Marcus Ryle (founder of Line 6) and is the first software instrument to receive a personal endorsement from Tom Oberheim. GForce calls the OB-E more than just an emulation, with a slew of new enhancements and additions.

Based on the Oberheim SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) 8-voice, GForce has recreated the entire original analog signal flow, including Oberheim’s iconic Multi-Mode Filter. This unique Octaphonic architecture puts this incredible analog structure into the digital realm for modern composers, synthesists and sound designers to do with as they will.

Additions include new performance controls via velocity, polyphonic aftertouch and more. There’s also a new reverb, over 100 new patches add, for a total of over 700, plus a Drum Mode that puts a powerful analog drum machine on your controller. If you’ve always longed for an OB-8, there’s no easier way to get one in your studio setup.
