Arturia OP-Xa V Virtual Instrument, Download

The OP-Xa V takes the immense analog power of the fat, aggressive sounding OB-Xa from the 80s charts to the modern era. Faithful to the sound of the original and supercharged with new features, OP-Xa V will take you for a wild sonic ride.

Huge brasses, strings, and pads made the OB-Xa dominate the hottest artists' keyboard stands, from Prince to Van Halen's iconic 'Jump'.

With OP-Xa V, that same unmistakable presence comes to life right in your DAW. There's just something about the sound that invites you to dig in with both hands and come up with great parts. True Analog Emulation ensures an authentic muscle car synthesizer experience - while our added touches add heaps of production horsepower that'll get your creativity racing.

Chart-topping Spirit
Today's hottest hits are drawing on '80s synth sounds more than ever. With OB-Xa in your arsenal, you'll be ready to produce the next one.

The Real Deal
We went back to the source to model the OB-Xa, analyzing every detail, component, and behavior of the genuine article with TAE emulation.

Jump Right In
The straightforward user interface and signal path can turn a novice into a seasoned synth enthusiast in record time.

Sound That Slaps
TAE does not emulate sounds - it duplicates how vintage analog circuits behave, and you'll hear the difference. Earth-shaking, hair-raising, soul-stirring.

Where Hardware Can't Go
Trouble-free tempo sync. Gorgeous built-in effects. Even more polyphony. The awe-inspiring nature of a classic synth, the enhancements of software.

Black and Blue Beauty
OP-Xa V melds the best of the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8 synths with today's DAW-centric music workflows.

In many ways it's the most OB you can get outside of having a collection of all three. Here are just a few of the features that set that benchmark.

Resurrecting a titan
Our teams of engineers and audio experts set out to capture every velvety-smooth sinewave, every dazzling sawtooth chord, every detuned sub-rich bass, and every split-keyboard stacked timbre that put the OP-Xa on the map.

To fully experience the majesty and raw power of an instrument like this, samples simply won't cut it. OP-Xa V is the result of exhaustive measuring, analysis, and reverse-engineering of every aspect of the original instrument - and then some.

The unique behavior and sonic character of the Curtis chips played a crucial role in the colossal sound we know and love; replicating the bite and bark of the Curtis filters was an integral part of nailing OP-Xa V's sound. We also incorporated some choice cuts from the instrument's famous peers - OB-X and OB-8 - and enhanced them with new features for a supremely authentic and far-reaching analog experience.

OP Enhanced
The Advanced Panel makes OP-Xa V more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Once we nailed the sound, we multiplied the modulation possibilities and added effects derived from our FX Collection. It all adds up to an instrument that's yesterday and tomorrow at once, and a musical force that will always be with you.
