I own several Oberheim emulation synth plugins, and this one sounds the best to my ears overall, if you want that Oberheim sound. Lots of great factory patches. Check it out! The patch & memory management system could be better, but that's a small price to pay for that sound.

Amazing Emulation. Sounds fantastic and despite a bad wrap is quite easy to use. If you're after the OBX sound check it out .

Sonic Project's OP-X PRO-II 1.2.6 64-bit is the best and most authentic sounding Oberheim emulator I have ever heard. Their website information describes how much expertise, detail, precision and love went into developing this virtual instrument.

This is simply an awesome sounding synth. It's obivously an Oberheim OB-X emulation from the looks, but this thing really can emulate the typical classic sounds of all kinds of iconic synths of this era including Jupiter-8 and Prophet-5. Especially the Jupiter-8 factory presets the synth ships with sound closer to the real thing than anything else I've heard so far. The synth furthermore comes with absolutely tons of included soundbanks which really all are absolutely outstanding.
The synth offers a nearly endless number of features including voice based detuning, dozens of arpeggiator presets, FM, ring modulator, effects, automated voice panning, step-sequencer and so on. This on one hand is great of course, but if you want to program your own sounds from scratch the plentora of features also becomes a disadvantage somehow since a lot of stuff isn't really obvious and often isn't laid out logically which makes reading the manual a must and therefore can be cubersome. There's really a steep learning curve and I hope they one day provide something like a video tutorial.
Luckily the provided soundbanks are as good and there are as many sounds that you don't necessarily need to program your own sounds. If I do then I almost never start from scratch but just edit an existing preset which already sounds alike which saves me a lot of work.
I initially also wasn't happy with the interface which was too small and hard to read. But then they luckily released bigger interfaces and also an alternative interface without keyboard and unnecessary stuff which is my favourite. Especially the largest version of this interface, the Rack Edition Huge, really is like day and night compared to the original interface with huge sharp controls and big sharp text. Still a bit complicated but a lot better than the original one.
Another positive point to mention is that this synth is very light on CPU for a virtual analog having such a great sound. I'm able to use more than 10 instances in a one session on my medicore computer which is really great.
So all in all I really can highly recommend this synth.

If you want the closest thing to having the actual OB-X keyboard this is the plugin to get. I bought this in 2015 and it is still by far the best plugin for this style of keyboard I have yet to use. I own this and there are other good ones out there (that I also own) but if you want the best, this is it.

Hi I made this video on how to use the OP-X PRO-II arpeggiator (in my opinion) one of the best features of this monster synth.
