Sequential OB-6 Demo

A no talking Sequential Oberheim OB-6 Sound Demo! The Sequential OB-6 is very different from the Prophet 6 and I tell folks that if you have one you might want the other too! In this video I demo the OB-6 synthesizer and use NO EXTERNAL effects. All you here is the sweet sound of the Oberheim synthesizer. The OB-6 is a full analog synthesizer with beautiful sounding VCOs. OB-6 Reviews are very favorable toward it since its arrival into the synth world. OB-6 Tutorials are also available online and I encourage you to seek them out to learn more about it.
Dave Smith Instruments DSI is a leader in synthesizer development and is now known as Sequential.

I was going too buy the OB then i heard Behringer are releasing a reproduction of this for about a quater the price, literally just watched the video for it, man it sounds good..

And there you go. The real buzz of a Oberheim synth . Love it!!

I tried out the OB-6 last year, and was so inspired, I considered selling off my collection just to buy it. If money were no issue, I think it's my favorite modern synth and would have one.

One of the last greats of DSI. Get ‘em while they last.

Thanks for the demo PAD. 👊

Life is about balance and I like how you balance your synth talks with music on your channel, lso you are such an ispiration for me to try ambient sounds 'cause Ive been more dance music oriented! great sounds James! many thanks

I’ve been waiting for this!! Excellent stuff

On the OB-6 it’s a fantastic instrument. Musical and a future vintage classic. Most of what is available new today will be forgotten but this, the grandmother, matriarch will be sought after

Impressive! I can see the possibility of having only this one synth and nothing else save perhaps a decent-sounding drum machine in the studio. The OB-6 is more versatile than I had imagined it to be. It goes from lovely to gritty and back again without breaking a sweat.

excellent device.. art in every inch..

this should have been 8 voice & 5 octave keyboard

[towerofspunk]

I love the sound of the OB6. I own a Prophet 5. An OB6 would be the perfect complement to my sound palette, but I'm a keyboard player, and the 4 octave keyboard on the OB6 is a deal breaker. I'm holding out hope for the Behringer UBXa.

Love it. Until Tom Oberheim decides to make another go at large-scale synth building, this is as close to a true Obie as we'll probably ever get.
Or at least until Behringer puts their Obie out...

[speedunknown]

I will wait to see what the UBXa by Behringer will be like first. It’s too bad they put that 4 octave kbd on the OB6, and no split or layer. It sounds ok, but not quite an OBX.

The Oberheim sound has never sparked my imagination. Something about it doesn’t click with me. I like the Sequential sound, 70s Yamaha and vintage Roland. With new synths, the Matriarch and the Typhon are exciting me. But there is something about the Oberheim character that just slides off me. I can’t connect with it.

A studio consisting of almost only DSI.... I love you Pad, so I'm not saying this to be mean or anything... but I don't get it. I've never liked any DSI and I can imagine having a DSI in there to add flavour... But to have so much DSI all stacked together.... beats me. It's the worst thing I can imagine.
