Oberheim OB-8 Sound in VCV Rack (Analog Poly Synth Tutorial)

Recreating the classic Oberheim OB-8 style polysynth in VCV Rack.

The OB-8 was widely used in the 1980s by artists like Prince, Van Halen, and many others for its warm, wide analog sound.

This patch focuses on the core architecture: dual oscillators, subtle detune, gentle low-pass filtering, and slow evolving envelopes — ideal for ambient, vintage, and cinematic textures. Inspired by classic analog workflows and adapted for modular environments like VCV Rack.
