Classic Oberheim Sound ? Made Portable The OB-6 desktop module has all of the same controls as the keyboard version of the OB-6 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.
And it sounds massive. It features the same analog signal path with discrete VCOs and VCFs, the same high-quality digital effects, and the same classic Oberheim sound that has been earning raves from musicians around the world. Additionally, 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 collaborations 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 studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator and more. No other modern analog poly synth boasts such a pedigree or such a massive sonic signature.
Vintage SEM Tone The OB-6 sound engine is inspired by Tom’s original SEM, the core of his acclaimed 4-voice and 8- voice 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.
