![]() ![]() The OB-6 sound engine is inspired by Tom’s original SEM, the core of his acclaimed 4-voice and 8- voice synthesizers. No other modern analog poly synth can boast such a pedigree or such a massive, in-your-face sonic signature. Arp: Up, down, up/down, random, and assign modes.The OB-6 ® is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between the two most influential designers in poly synth history, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. The OB-6 takes the classic bold Tom Oberheim sound - with its true voltage-controlled oscillators, 2-pole filter, and amplifiers - and adds modern enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more.Mod destinations: osc 1 frequency, osc 2 frequency, osc 1 and 2 pulse width, filter cutoff, filter mode, amp.LFO Five wave shapes: sine, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, and random (sample and hold).Seperate four-stage (ADSR) envelope generator for Amp and Filter.Two-pole, resonant, filter per voice with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch.Oscillator detune amount for increased tuning instability, from subtle to extreme.Keyboard tracking on/off (oscillator 2).Square wave sub-octave generator (oscillator 1) per voice.Hard sync: oscillator 1 syncs to oscillator 2.Continuously variable wave shape per oscillator.It’s an ideal combination of portability and power for the project studio or the gigging musician. This analogue powerhouse is packed into a desktop module that’s small enough to fit in a backpack. In this state, what you see is what you hear. Turning on the Manual button enables live panel mode, in which the sound of the OB-6 switches to its current front panel settings. Included are 500 permanent factory programs and 500 rewritable user programs. The knob-per-function front panel puts virtually all OB-6 functions at your fingertips. Unison mode features configurable voice count (1-6 voices), chord memory, and key modes. The full-featured arpeggiator can be synced to external MIDI clock as well. You can create sequences polyphonically, with rests, and sync to an external MIDI clock. The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. Destinations include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, filter cutoff, and filter mode. Modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2, both with bi-polar control. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48 kHz resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analogue signal path.Īlso present is X-Mod, which expands the tonal palette and makes it easy to create dramatic and unconventional sounds. The dual effects section provides studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, flangers, and faithful recreations of Tom’s original phase shifter and ring modulator. Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analogue signal path. ![]() The classic Oberheim-inspired 2-pole, state-variable, resonant filter provides low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch functionality. It features two discrete voltage-controlled oscillators (plus sub-oscillator) per voice with continuously variable waveshapes (sawtooth and variable-width pulse, plus a triangle wave on oscillator 2). No other modern analogue poly synth can boast such a pedigree or such a massive, in-your-face sonic signature. The OB-6 takes the classic bold Tom Oberheim sound - with its true voltage-controlled oscillators, 2-pole filter, and amplifiers - and adds modern enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more. DSI have also added a poly chain feature so that any two OB-6s can be paired for twelve-voice polyphony!īoth the OB-6 desktop module and OB-6 keyboard are a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between the two most influential designers in poly synth history, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. The same classic Oberheim sound that has been earning raves from musicians around the world. The same analogue signal path with discrete VCOs and VCFs. ![]() As with the OB-6 Keyboard, all parameters are at your fingertips, with full-sized knobs and switches and a comfortable, intuitive layout. The module has all of the same controls as the keyboard version and provides the same immediacy and ease of use. The OB-6 desktop module is just as powerful and easy to use as its counterpart, the OB-6 Keyboard. ![]()
