I’ve owned both an 8 voice Obx-a & an OB-8 back in the early 2000’s. My OBx-a was in the shop more than it was at home. Great sound but the keyboard kept triggering wrong and I kept dropping a voice (one board needed repair). After all the $$ spent, I sold both. Now, it is like a step back in time but with dependability! I have several keyboards including a Rev. 4 Prophet 5 so I didn’t really have room for another keyboard. This desktop module fits the bill! I’ve only had it for 2 days but it shakes the house! I also got it when it was 20% off. Still a little pricey even with the discount but a lot better than $3500! Regardless it’s a keeper!
