The Dave Smith Instruments Oberheim OB-6 bridges the gap between digital precision and analogue warmth, creating a six-voice polyphonic synthesiser that captures the best of both worlds. This remarkable instrument combines studio-quality effects with two voltage-controlled oscillators per voice, offering musicians superior sound quality and endless creative possibilities. The integrated amplifiers ensure seamless connectivity for both studio recording and live performance applications.
With 500 factory programs ready to use straight out of the box, plus space for 500 user-defined programs, the OB-6 makes preparation for live shows remarkably straightforward. The front-panel switches can be activated via the manual button, allowing for real-time sound adjustments and creative experimentation during performances. Musicians will appreciate the velocity-sensitive keys and the ability to transpose sounds up to 12 semitones in either direction.
The 4-octave keyboard design provides ample range for most musical applications, while the semi-weighted action offers a familiar and comfortable playing feel for pianists and keyboard players. This thoughtful design consideration makes the OB-6 an ideal choice for performers who demand both exceptional sound quality and playability in their synthesiser.
