OB-8 is the last representative of the classic OB series – it’s an improved version of the OB-Xa synthesizer. OB-8, as well as the whole series of vintage OBs, is built on using voice cards, but unlike its predecessors it was produced with a fixed number...
In 1978, Sequential Circuits company released Prophet-5, which immediately became incredibly popular due to the ability to save all the parameters of the synthesizer in the presets. Tom Oberheim responded with OB-X. The synthesizer has a hybrid...
In the early 80's all serious synthesizer manufacturers had to try hard to stay on the market after the release of the Prophet-5 synthesizer. The first attempt to grab his bite of the niche was made by Oberheim when he launched OB-X synthesizer, the...
Minimoog Model D may be the most classic and never-fading or by no means ever outdated analog synthesizer. This is the first synthesizer, which could be called portable, which allowed a musician to put it to good use not only in the studio, but also on...

System 55 is an exact copy and smart reconstruction of the modular system launched in 1973. To create a modern System 55, original parts and printed circuit boards were used, even the final processing of the wooden parts of the housing and the faceplates...

This is a successful attempt to remind the world of what an analog synthesizer is. It appeared in 2002, when Dr. Robert Moog finally won the rights to his company (Moog Music) back. The signal path remained completely analog and schematically very close...
Quadra - another successful "chimera" by ARP, which can be safely included in the top 100 analog synthesizers. This time four instruments fit one housing at once, which is obvious thanks to its name. Polyphonic section of strings, monophonic bass and a...
