The Oberheim OB-6 is a premium six-voice polyphonic analogue synthesizer designed for professional musicians and sound designers who demand classic, punchy analogue character integrated with modern workflow enhancements. It offers the rare collaboration of engineering legends Tom Oberheim and Dave Smith, providing an authentic, fully analogue signal path with flexible modulation capabilities. While it delivers exceptional sonic depth, potential users should note that the limited six-voice polyphony may require careful arrangement planning for complex, layered chordal passages.

You may have reached the six-voice limit. Consider simplifying your playing style or adjusting the release time of your envelopes.
Check your input gain settings on the external audio interface or mixer to ensure the signal is not clipping the inputs.
Check the Clock Source setting. If it is set to MIDI/USB, the OB-6 waits for a clock signal from an external device before starting.
To begin, connect the OB-6 to your audio interface using balanced 1/4" cables. Ensure the device is placed on a stable stand. The unit features standard MIDI In/Out/Thru ports, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into a wider hardware setup or a DAW-based environment. To maintain the unit, keep it in a dust-free environment and use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to clean the casing. Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the knobs or keys. Periodically back up your custom user programs via MIDI SysEx to ensure you do not lose your sound designs in the event of a factory reset.
