Description:
OBXD is a monophonic/8-voice polyphonic realtime VST-based synthesizer developed by 2DaT, Layzer and Breeze (at KVR) and recently ported to linux. The screenshots above show a couple different skin options. OBXD is available in the KXStudio repositories in both LV2 and VST formats, and can run in most hosts, such as Ardour, Carla, Jalv and Qtractor.
Download OBXD: Mac / Windows. Tip: To get the retro look of the OBXD, right click anywhere on the synth and select the “Totolitoto Classic Blue” skin. Tal-Bassline Roland SH-101 The SH-101 was released by Roland in 1982 but lost the mainstream battle with the DX7 and got discontinued in 1986. Over 70 patches for 2Dat OBXD. Over 70 patches for 2Dat OBXD I made when it was released as V1.0. Just recently we’ve had new emulations from both Arturia and Synapse Audio, and now discoDSP’s free OB-Xd plugin has been updated to version 2. As before, this is a pretty straight emulation of the original hardware - so no effects or anything like that - though you do get a continuous blendable multimode filter.
OBXD includes many features of the famous OB-X hardware synth of the 1980's, as well as a few modifications (see manual links below). There are two oscillators with discrete level controls and a noise level knob, independent saw and square waveforms with pulsewidth modulation control; a cross-modulation knob, sync button and step button (to adjust oscillator tuning in semitones rather than smooth). Unison mode button (all polyphony notes are stacked into one, thicker monophonic voice), spread, glide (portamento), tuning and octave transpose control are included. The 'Bright' knob controls higher sound-spectrum precision, and the 'P Env' knob provides pitch envelope, hard-wired to the filter envelope section.
The OBXD filter section has a 12-dB multi-mode filter. Along with the traditional cutoff, resonance and envelope depth controls, this section allows to control key follow, high-quality interpolation (increases CPU consumption slightly) and multi-mode control.
The 'Multi' knob allows to transition between the following filter options: low-pass (knob to left), notch (mid-position) and high-pass (knob to right). Activating the 'BP' button provides a bandpass filter instead of notch (knob in mid-position). The '24dB' button gives a 24-dB lowpass filter that adjusts from 24dB (knob to left) to 6dB (knob to right).
There is a VAM (voice allocation mode) button which gives last-note priority instead of low-note priority. The Control Section includes 12-semitone bend range (2-note when off) and a oscillator 2 bend only button. The Vibrato Rate is hardwired to the modwheel, but also interacts with the LFO rate knob in interesting ways as well. The Control Section also has both filter and amplitude velocity sensitivity control.
The LFO section includes sine, square and sample-and-hold waveshapes, which can be mixed together. The Voice Variation Section gives further control of filter, glide and amplitude, and the Voice Pan allows to control pan direction of each of the 8 voices independently.

The magic of software virtual instruments ! Recreating known piece of hardware, emulating famous synth, trying to capture the spirit of a machine, attempting to copy the sound and feeling of an instrument!
Here’s a compilation of all the articles about free VST plugins that try to emulate the most famous synths, plus links to the freeware plugins that are the only one to recreate a kind of machine (they didn’t get an article). Below is a list of best free VST emulations.
Here you can find free virtual alternatives to the classic analog synths :
MiniMoog, Arp 2600, Arp Odyssey, Synthi VCS3, Obeirheim OB-X
There are also your favorite FM / Vector Synthesis / “digital” synths :
Yamaha DX7, Prophet VS, PPG Wave, Ensoniq SQ80
The usual techno/trance suspects are here too :
Roland TB303, Alpha Juno, Juno 60, JP-8000, Korg Mono / Poly, Clavia Nord Lead 2
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/synth1ad-5bd251bb46e0fb0026d70f23.jpg "Obxd Vst Free")
We did not forgot the Jazzy/Funky/Rock famous instruments :
Fender Rhodes electric piano, Hammond B3 organ, Farfisa combo organ, Hohner Clavinet, Wurlitzer E-piano, Mellotron & Arp Solina.
And even the antic Theremin + some funky toys : Speak and Spell & Stylophone.
This is work in progress, i’ll add free VSTi plugin if we find some new free recreation of well known synthesizers.
All the VSTi in this list are freeware.
