![]() The first thing you’ll notice about Obsession when you fire it up is the unabashed warmth and phatness of it, produced by several independent parameters in the Voice Edit Section that allow you to create “slop” by offsetting the front panel controls on a per-voice basis. Obsession doesn’t pretend to be a straight-up emulation of the original OB-Xa, but rather a modern interpretation of it focused on the multi-voice architecture and analog modeling of the temperature-dependent fluctuations of the Curtis CEM3340 VCO chips. That said, friends of mine with intimate knowledge of the original hardware tell me that the Obsession softsynth is arguably the closest thing to the real experience, at least in terms of its overall character. I don’t have any personal experience with Oberheim’s OB-Xa, released in December 1980. See also: Synapse Audio The Legend Review
