Sujet Commentaires sur la news : [NAMM] Tom Oberheim et Dave Smith pour l'OB6

Unfortunately, according to Tom, it’s not an OB8 in a six voice version. He told me, it’s basically a prophet 6 with SEM filters. Given that, it’s more of a hybrid (sequential with Oberheim).
Still sounds lush and beautiful but I think I’m gonna go with the sequential prophet 6 instead.

From interviews with Tom and Dave, I understood its actually more like 6 SEM voices with a prophet 6 clothing, with some Oberheim vintage effects sprinkled on top.

P-6 with the SEM filters from the P-2. Minimum re-engineering here. Dave is a smart guy.

The main differences told to me from DSI compared to the Prophet-6 are:
– Oberheim VCO’s
– single Oberheim SEM filter instead of a seperate low and hi-pass SSM-ish filters in the P6.
– added ring modulator, 2 flangers, and a 3rd Masetro-esque phaser to the effects section.
– Sub octave is a square wave instead of a triangle (as on the P6)

Actually, the OB6 oscillators are architecturally different than those in the P6. The analog voice in the OB6 is unique from the P6.

Fie-toi à ton instinct...
