Key Features
The Arturia OP-Xa V is a plug-in recreation of an American-made '80s polysynth. Authentic emulation via Arturia's celebrated True Analog Emulation (TAE) technologies, OP-Xa V contains the same unmistakable raw sound in your music. Packed with eight huge-sounding synth voices, you can produce the same growling, aggressive and super fat basses, strings or pads that made the hardware iconic and a favourite of artists from Prince to Van Halen.
Faithfully recreated down to the last detail but enhanced for contemporary techniques and production requirements, Arturia has augmented the OP-Xa V with additional functionality and sound-shaping possibilities. Increased polyphony, duplicated oscillators with X-mod cross modulation, four function generators, comprehensive modulation matrix and arpeggiator and even studio-quality effects have been implemented to offer more versatility than was ever possible with the hardware counterpart.

Undeniably the most sought-after Oberheim synthesizer, this classic device is responsible for some of the biggest melodies from artists ranging from Prince to Van Halen. Difficult to source, expensive and hard to maintain are just a few reasons why owning a genuine hardware synth is an almost impossible task for modern producers and musicians. Step in the Arturia OP-Xa V, delivering the best of both digital and analog domains, bolstering an indistinguishable sound from the original, with an authentic response and feel while augmenting the original with improved functionality and DAW integration.
Packed with eight massive-sounding synthesizer voices, dual oscillators, adjustable polyphony and unison modes and a range of modifiers to add excitement to your sound creation, OP-Xa V can produce anything from huge brasses, cutting strings, ethereal pads and anything in between.
Melding together the best of all of the OB synth range, OP-Xa V is like having access to three of the most sought-after synths of all time inside one convenient plug-in. Authentic oscillators offer triangle, square and sawtooth waves with variable pulse width control, cross-modulation and hard-sync, delivering the signature sound of an era. Duplicating the settings from one oscillator to the other, OP-Xa V includes the option to pitch-bend oscillator two for a 'singing' interval between your waveforms. Next, the uncontestable sound of analog filters is featured with 12 and 24dB/oct options, giving you both the original style and modern filters for aggressive resonant timbres. Ultra-wide stereo spreading, complex LFO modulation, vibrato and envelope shaping are all included in a straightforward interface to ensure that anyone from novice to guru can produce professional tones instantly.
Not satisfied with providing you with an exact plug-in emulation of one of the most sought-after synthesizers, Arturia has implemented a clever range of additional features to improve functionality and sound design potential. Multiplying the modulation possibilities and augmenting the effects section with celebrated effects from the FX Collection culminates in an instrument that pays homage to the past while nodding to the future.
Fundamental improvements to the architecture and structure of the synth have been implemented with increased oscillator waveform types from two to four and now features cross-modulation found on the original OB-X synth. Increased unison and polyphony now to eight and 16 respectively help add texture to your tones and the new Stereo Spread feature lets you create thick, wide, evolving sounds in just one click.
Other areas Arturia have addressed are the modulation options. OP-Xa V enables you to design and assign your own modulation curves, free-form or tempo-synced to your project for seemingly endless modulation possibilities. Augmenting the analog modelling and feel of the plug-in, real analog drift has been included with OP-Xa V. Surgically control variations between several aspects of the voices including the pitch, pulse width, cut-off, resonance, envelopes and modulation for a more authentic, unpredictable sound which matches the hardware response.
Taken from the FX collection, Arturia have included an integrated studio-quality effects rack. Stack up to three effects in parallel, choosing between effects which range from distortion, multi-mode filters, expansive reverbs, multiple delays and modulations among many more. Unmistakably an advantage of the hardware original, the plug-in nature of OP-Xa V lets you run multiple instances simultaneously across your project, each with unique settings, each with complete MIDI implementation and automatable parameters to create dynamic performances throughout your song. All with unlimited patch recall in the streamlined preset manager.
Capturing every velvet-smooth sinewave, crushing sawtooth chord, wobbling detuned bass line and split keyboard possible, every possible component was meticulously analysed to deliver an indistinguishable sound from the original. Built from the ground up using Arturia's proprietary True Analog Emulation technology has brought the OP-Xa V to life, letting you experience the full majesty and raw power in unmatched analog emulation. The result is a next-level instrument which accurately produces the sonic character and behaviour of every chip and component for a truly authentic OP-Xa V experience.
"The OP-Xa V is one of my favourite synths ever and this plug-in definitely doesn't disappoint. Sounds and looks amazing. It makes you feel like you're surfing on a hologram in 1984." - KOZ (Producer)
"I have the OP-Xa V hardware and the first thing I did was to A/B the two. The tonality of the two are effectively indistinguishable. This is shockingly good." - RJD2 (DJ/ Producer)
"As a big fan of Vangelis type of sounds, big synths like the OB-X are amongst my favourites. The OP-Xa V is a beast for me. I can easily manipulate the parameters and achieve pretty big strings and arpeggio. It's a must." - Francois X (DJ/ Producer)
"Full of vibrant soundscapes, vivid textures and countless variables to play with - the OB-Xa V has quickly become my new favourite Arturia toy and staple synth to use when I create." - Georgi Kay (Musician / Producer)
