OB-Xd Legacy 2.18 released

[george]

OB-Xd is based on the Oberheim OB-X. It attempts to recreate its sound and behavior, but as the original was very limited in some important ways a number of things were added or altered to the original design. OB-Xd was designed to sound as good and as rich as the original. It implements micro random detuning which is a big part of that sound.

OB-Xd Legacy 2.x is a maintained legacy branch. The newer OB-Xd 3.x version features more advanced capabilities and improvements. Both versions are actively supported.
