Dave Smith Instruments OB-6 Desktop Module

Descripción

Classic Oberheim Sound — Made PortableThe 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 fingertips, with full-sized knobs and switches and a comfortable, intuitive lat.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 InstrumentBoth 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 ToneThe 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.Dual EffectsThe 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. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48 kHz resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analog signal path.X-Mod and Poly Step SequencingX-Mod expands the tonal palette and makes it easy to create dramatic and unconventional sounds. Modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2, both with bi-polar control. Destinations include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, filter cutoff, and filter mode. The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. can create sequences polyphonically, with rests, and sync to an external MIDI clock. The full-featured arpeggiator can be synced to external MIDI clock as well. Unison mode features configurable voice count (1-6 voices), chord memory, and key modes.Easy to ProgramThe knob-per-function front panel puts virtually all OB-6 functions at fingertips. Included are 500 permanent factory programs and 500 rewritable user programs. Turning on the Manual button enables live panel mode, in which the sound of the OB-6 switches to its current front panel settings. In this state, what see is what hear.Easy to PlayThis analog powerhouse is packed into a desktop module that’s small enough to fit in a backpack. It’s an ideal combination of portability and power for the project studio or the gigging musician.TCIN: 75554985If the item details above aren’t accurate or complete, we want to know about it.
