Dave Smith OB-6 Analog Synthesizer
Dave Smith Instruments has released the OB-6 , a six-voice analog synthesizer with discrete VCOs and filters developed in collaboration with Tom Oberheim . With a sound engine inspired by Oberheim ’ s original SEM ( the core of his four-voice and eight-voice synthesizers ), the new instrument is designed to provide true vintage SEM tone with the stability and flexibility of modern technology .
The OB-6 features two discrete voltage-controlled oscillators ( plus sub-oscillator ) per voice , with continuously variable waveshapes . There is a classic SEM-inspired state-variable filter ( low-pass , high-pass , band-pass , and notch ) per voice . Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analog signal path . Also present is X-Mod , with filter envelope and oscillator two as modulation sources with bi-polar control .
