The Oberheim Xpander (Used) is a 6-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer that stands as one of the most iconic creations in Oberheim’s history. This used unit retains the charm and extraordinary sonic capabilities that have made it a benchmark for musicians, sound designers, and producers seeking an authentic vintage analog synthesizer. Thanks to its extremely flexible architecture and renowned modulation matrix, the Xpander offers programming capabilities comparable to those of a modular system, while retaining all the practicality of a compact studio instrument.

6-voice Oberheim analog architecture

Each voice features two dedicated analog oscillators, a filter, an amplifier, five DADSR envelopes, and five independent LFOs. This design ensures rich, dynamic, and incredibly expressive polyphony, ideal for complex pads, vintage brass, deep basses, analog leads, and ever-evolving textures.

15-Mode Multimode Filter

One of the features that made the Oberheim Xpander famous is its exclusive multimode filter, capable of offering as many as 15 different configurations.

Maximum freedom in sound design

The modes include low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filters, as well as numerous combinations that allow you to sculpt the timbre with a level of detail rarely found in other analog synthesizers of the same era.

Professional modulation matrix

The creative heart of the Xpander is its powerful modulation matrix, which allows you to assign up to 14 modulation sources to nearly any synthesizer parameter, with a maximum of 20 routings per voice. This flexibility makes it possible to create extremely complex, dynamic, and expressive sounds, perfect for advanced sound design, soundtracks, and electronic music production.

Multitimbrality and Studio Integration

Six Synthesizers in a Single Unit

The six voices can be used as a single polyphonic synthesizer or divided into independent keyboard zones or MIDI channels, transforming the Xpander into six separate monophonic synthesizers. This feature is still highly valued in professional studios today.

The numerous connections include individual audio outputs for each voice, a main stereo output, MIDI, and CV/Gate inputs, allowing for seamless integration with both vintage setups and modern Eurorack systems and analog gear.

Why Choose a Used Oberheim Xpander

The Oberheim Xpander is considered one of the most sophisticated analog synthesizers ever built. Even today, it is chosen by producers, composers, and collectors for its unique sonic character, immense programming depth, and the build quality typical of the great Oberheim tradition. An ideal opportunity for anyone looking to add one of the most sought-after and influential analog synthesizers in history to their studio.
