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.
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.
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.
