Dave Smith OB-6 Desktop Analog Synth Module

Dave Smith OB-6 Desktop Analog Synth Module

Classic Oberheim Sound Made Portable The OB-6 desktop module is just as powerful and easy to use as its counterpart, the OB-6 Keyboard. The module has all of the same controls as the keyboard version and provides the same immediacy and ease of use. As with the OB-6 Keyboard, all parameters are at your fingertips, with full-sized knobs and switches and a comfortable, intuitive layout. How does it sound? Massive just like the keyboard, because on the inside, its exactly the same. The same analog signal path with discrete VCOs and VCFs. The same high-quality digital effects. The same classic Oberheim sound that has been earning raves from musicians around the world.

Weve also added a poly chain feature so that any two OB-6s can be paired for twelve-voice polyphony! Two Legends. One Instrument Both 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 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.

No other modern analog poly synth can boast such a pedigree or such a massive, in-your-face sonic signature. Vintage SEM Tone The OB-6 sound engine is inspired by Toms original SEM, the core of his acclaimed 4-voice and 8voice synthesizers. 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). The classic Oberheim-inspired 2-pole, state-variable, resonant filter provides low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch functionality. Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analog signal path.
