The Oberheim OB-Xa was released in December 1980 at a list price of $5,595. It weighs in at 45 lbs and its dimensions are 40" (wide) X 20" (deep) X 6" (high). The OB-Xa is an ‘update’ of the OB-X which was originally released in June 1978. The OB-X and OB-Xa definitely sound different and the OB-Xa offers you more features. The OB-Xa was available as both a six voice and eight voice unit. Each voice consists of two voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) , two Voltage Controlled Filters (VCF’s - a 2 pole filter and a 4 pole filter), a Voltage Control Amplifier (VCA) and two Envelope Generators (ENV). The voices are located on two on two separate voice cards with each card containing four voices and a low frequency oscillator (LFO). The cards are independently controlled which allows the synth to offer a double (layer) and split modes.
The keyboard is a standard 61 note non-velocity sensitive keyboard. It has a very strange feel to it as the keys feel heavy and almost sticky and makes lots of noise. I’m not sure if this with all of them or just my board. As mention above it offers double, split and normal modes of operation. Double triggers two sounds on to one note (one from the upper and one from lower card). Split divides the keyboard into two separate parts - the upper and the lower and each part of the keyboard triggers its respective voice card. The split point is adjustable. Normal as you would expects uses the same sound across the keyboard. To the right of the keyboard are the master transpose switches will allow you to transpose the entire keyboard up or down one octave.
You can hear the OB-Xa all over Signals by Rush, 1984 by Van Halen and Prince records from the early/mid 1980s. The pots and switches are large compared to most and very easy to work with. The offer a slight amount of resistance and are so much easier to use then sliders. They just don’t make em like they used to!
