Sequential OB-6

Un synth che desideravo da tempo e che finalmente è entrato ufficilamente nel mio setup.
Lo strumento è costruito benissimo, davvero solido, meccanica della tastiera molto bella.

Personalmente cercavo uno strumento veloce da programmare, senza menu e con quel suono caratteristico tipico oberheim.

Se cercate uno strumento versatile che possa adattarsi a più situazioni è ottimo!
Ho avuto anche il Prophet Rev2-16 ma c'era sempre quel qualcosa che mancava.. oltre ad alcune caratteristiche non proprio ideali: display oled microscopico, un effetto solo per layer..

Se cercate un poly analogico da tenere nel vostro setup in studio o live per diverso tempo con un'immediatezza di utilizzo fantastica, OB-6 è il synth per voi. Se preferite il sound del Prophet 5 e del filtro curtis, la scelta migliore è il Prophet-6.

I come from a Prophet REV2 (8-voice), which I liked very much, but the OB-6 is simply on a different level. The REV2 featured warm, analog signal but a quite cold and digital interface with an OLED tiny screen, which is fine if one is searching for a very versatile and capable production tool. But for playing live and experimenting, well... the OB-6 'feels' like a real analog instrument also in the user interface and playability. Less knobs, less voices, less modulation possibilities, good old digits for programs (no silly names) but what a SOUND! The tone feels full, musical and creamy in every configuration/modulation. Amazing filter. Great factory programs. Great design, great size. In one word: a great synth. If you are looking for a definitive instrument, go for this one or the Prophet 6... or both! Mine arrived with a slightly scratched black key (probably it came out of the factory like that). It doesn't bother me much since it's only visible when looking very closely, but I wish Sequential were a bit more careful for a top-class instrument in this price range. Apart from this, totally perfect service from Thomann, quick delivery!

Bought mine a week ago and I'm already in love! Nothing I've ever tried gives me such a pleasure to work on; every time I sit with it makes me feel excited and inspired! It's hard to explain what makes it such a great synth but it's not just the sound, which is beyond fantastic, it's also the ergonomics and the looks; everything is just right! The best synth on the market atm. I'm coming from the software world and I never understood the appealing of analog synths, until I've tried this one! I came to a local music store to try a Hydrasynth (which is great btw) and there was an OB-6 next to it; tried it and that was it! Was thinking about the Prophet 10 rev4 too but this one has it all; wouldn't mind having the rev4 too but I had money only for one of them and I chose the OB-6 after brief thinking. Decided to buy from Thomann because imo they're the best! ...I've never had problems with return policy and the 3-yrs warranty makes it a no brainer!
