Hot on the heels of Arturia’s OB-Xa V (see review on p68), Obsession is another Oberheim OB-Xa synth emulation, modelled on the original polyphonic hardware. Promising to recreate the “organic, lively sound” of the real thing, it boasts two oscillators, a 12/24dB/octave low-pass filter, two LFOs and two ADSR envelopes, as well as a step sequencing mode for the LFOs, and delay, reverb and chorus effects. It’s out now for Mac and PC, priced £79.
Obsession’s step sequencing, effects and more take it to the next OB level
