Essential Information About the Sequential OB-6 Desktop Synthesizer

  • The Authentic Oberheim Sound: identical analog signal path to the keyboard version, with discrete VCO and VCF for a "massive" presence.
  • Immediate Control: same controls as the OB-6 keyboard, with large potentiometers and switches to sculpt the sound without menus.
  • Expandable Polyphony: up to 12 voices by chaining two units using the Poly Chain function.
  • Modern Production: built-in arpeggiator, sequencer, and digital effects to quickly go from patch to finished sound.

An OB-6 Module Designed to Retain the Keyboard Ergonomics in a Studio Format

The Sequential OB-6 Desktop carries the DNA of the famous OB-6 in a compact format, with no compromise on interface or sound architecture. Designed to offer the same "one knob per function" synth feel, it places all key parameters directly at hand, with a clear and logical layout. Ideal for integrating the classic Oberheim character into a studio setup, rack, or limited workspace, while maintaining the immediacy of a true analog synthesizer.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This analog synthesizer is aimed at experienced musicians as well as demanding enthusiasts who want an inspiring and quick-to-program instrument. Perfect for techno, synthwave, pop, ambient, and film scoring, the OB-6 Desktop excels both in wide pads and expressive leads as well as vintage-grain chords. In live performance, its direct access to parameters facilitates real-time variations; in the studio, its memory and connectivity ensure a smooth workflow.

Features and Innovations

The OB-6 Desktop is an analog synthesizer with a VCO sound generator and a maximum polyphony of 6 voices, designed to deliver a rich, dynamic, and organic sound. Each voice has an LFO, and the architecture relies on an ADSR envelope to precisely shape attacks, decays, and releases. Going beyond pure analog, it integrates 6 high-quality digital effects, very practical for finalizing a patch without external gear. On the performance and composition side, the instrument features an arpeggiator and a sequencer, and remains very expressive thanks to velocity and aftertouch. Finally, the Poly Chain function allows linking two OB-6 units to reach 12 voices of polyphony, a powerful option for dense arrangements and complex pads.
