OP-Xa V

Arturia

Where to get itAvailable from Arturiaarturia.com

OP-Xa V is a faithfully emulated polyphonic synthesizer plugin that brings the immense analog power and fat, aggressive sound of the classic OB-Xa from the 1980s into modern DAWs. Using Arturia's True Analog Emulation® (TAE®) technology, it authentically replicates the behavior of original analog circuits while adding modern enhancements like built-in effects, expanded polyphony, and a comprehensive modulation matrix. The plugin is distinctive for its combination of vintage character with contemporary production tools, making it ideal for recreating the iconic 80s synth sounds that have dominated modern hit records.

Key Features

01Up to 16-voice polyphony
0212dB and 24dB filter modes with Curtis filter emulation
03Oscillators with triangle, saw, square waves, variable pulse width, cross-modulation, and hard sync
04Stereo spread controls with left/right offsets on oscillator, filter, and LFO
05Arpeggiator with tempo sync
069 on-board effects including delay, chorus, reverb, phaser, flanger, compressor, overdrive, multimode filter, and bitcrusher
074 Function Generators with custom modulation curves

Things to Try

  • 01Use the stereo spread parameter on oscillator and filter outputs to create fatter bass and more expansive pads
  • 02Stack up to three effects in series or parallel from the nine available types including ping-pong delay and stereo chorus for enhanced textures
  • 03Design custom modulation curves in the Function Generators that sync to tempo, with options to loop or use one-shot mode
  • 04Engage the cross-modulation (X-Mod) between oscillators and experiment with hard sync for signature 80s sound design
