Oberheim OB-X Black Friday deal: GForce Software's synth plugin is 50% off at $59.99, and the offer ends Dec 1, 2026.
GForce calls it the world's first officially endorsed emulation of the famous 80s Oberheim synth. The maker says it keeps the sound people know and adds new sonic options on top.
The maker lists Electronica, EDM, Drum and Bass, Ambient, Rock, Prog Rock and Hip Hop as styles it suits. It also names Depeche Mode, Queen, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Ultravox and Japan among the artists who used the original hardware.
The core tone stays authentic. The modern additions are what GForce built around it:
The LFO gets new intro, retrigger, phase and smoothing features, plus a new level destination. PWM1 and PWM2 are separate.
You also get an arpeggiator and a chord mode with scales. Chorus, Stereo Delay and Reverb effects are built in.
X-Modifiers are GForce's own modulation system. They are dedicated LFOs and ADSRs for almost all parameters.
The X-LFO and X-ADSR sections come with the modulation paths already set up, so you skip the routing step. The maker says this lets you build very complex, still musical sounds by modulating almost any parameter.
The plugin ships with over 400 new presets from sound designers and artists, including Light Bath, GEOsynth, Christian Lafitte, Tontario, Zardonic, Noyzlab and Graeme Rawson. GForce says the patches run from modern to classic, with a lot of recreations of sounds you may have heard on hit records.
The new preset browser lets you organise sounds your own way. Tagging, sorting and search are all there, so finding a patch is quick.
The UI is fully resizable, which helps on high-resolution screens and smaller laptops.
Yes. The Oberheim OB-X Black Friday deal takes 50% off GForce's synth plugin, bringing it to $59.99. The offer ends Dec 1, 2026.
You get the synth with a resizable UI, a preset browser, over 400 presets, an arpeggiator, a chord mode with scales, Chorus, Delay and Reverb effects, four Macros and the X-Modifier modulation system.
X-Modifiers are GForce's modulation technology: dedicated LFOs and ADSRs for almost all parameters. The X-LFO and X-ADSR sections arrive with modulation paths already set up, so you can shape complex sounds without building routings first.
GForce lists up to 16 voice polyphony. The plugin also offers monophonic, polyphonic, legato and unison trigger modes, and per-voice pan for wide stereo sounds.
