Oberheim is a historic American synthesiser name represented here by modern instruments such as the TEO-5, OB-X8 and OB-6. The range centres on analogue or analogue-led polyphonic synthesis, with hardware controls for oscillators, filters, envelopes and performance shaping. Desktop and keyboard versions may share an engine but differ in layout and connectivity, so the individual listing should decide the comparison. Oberheim suits players looking for hands-on analogue voices with a clear connection to classic polysynth architecture, while still offering current production and MIDI integration.

Explore hardware synthesisers for sound design, performance and music production. This collection includes analogue, digital, hybrid, FM and wavetable instruments in keyboard, desktop and modular formats. Compare the synthesis method, polyphony, keybed, sequencer, effects and MIDI or CV connectivity to find an instrument that fits your studio, live setup and preferred way of creating sounds.
Tags
Products using analogue sound-generation or signal-processing circuitry, also commonly written as analog. Analogue instruments shape continuously varying electrical signals and are often chosen for direct controls, natural variation and a character that responds organically to performance and modulation.
Products with dedicated note, rhythm, MIDI or control-voltage sequencing capabilities. A sequencer records or generates musical events and sends them to internal sounds or connected instruments, often providing step programming, pattern chaining and performance controls.
Products centred on electronic sound generation and synthesis. This tag brings together keyboard, desktop, modular and performance instruments that create or substantially shape their own sounds rather than serving only as controllers.
