Oberheim OB-6
CurrentReleased 2016
A six-voice analogue polysynth designed by Tom Oberheim and Dave Smith, with an SEM-inspired 2-pole state-variable filter that sweeps from low-pass through notch to high-pass. It shares the Prophet-6 platform, effects and sequencer but has a brassier, more open Oberheim voice. For players who want the classic Oberheim sound with modern reliability.
