The polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step. Destinations include oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 1 shape, oscillator 1 pulse width, filter cutoff, and filter mode. Modulation sources are filter envelope and oscillator 2, both with bi-polar control. X-Mod and Poly Step SequencingĪlso present is X-Mod, which expands the tonal palette and makes it easy to create dramatic and unconventional sounds. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48 kHz resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analog signal path. The dual effects section provides studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus, flangers, and faithful recreations of Tom’s original phase shifter and ring modulator. Voltage-controlled amplifiers complete the all-analog signal path. The classic Oberheim-inspired 2-pole, state-variable, resonant filter provides low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch functionality.

It features two discrete voltage-controlled oscillators (plus sub-oscillator) per voice with continuously variable waveshapes (sawtooth and variable-width pulse, plus a triangle wave on oscillator 2). The OB-6 sound engine is inspired by Tom’s original SEM, the core of his acclaimed 4-voice and 8- voice synthesizers. No other modern analog poly synth can boast such a pedigree or such a massive, in-your-face sonic signature.

The OB-6 ® is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between the two most influential designers in poly synth history, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. The OB-6 takes the classic bold Tom Oberheim sound - with its true voltage-controlled oscillators, 2-pole filter, and amplifiers - and adds modern enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more. In the United Kingdom, Mix with the Masters has conducted Masterclasses in London, exhibited at conferences, and curated a number of special guest appearances at Abbey Road Studios for its 90th anniversary festival in 2021.To find out more about how each synth differs, view our Synth Comparison (pdf) Two Legends. Our presence at these conventions has involved hundreds of live hour-long workshops given by A-list producers and engineers using a large-format console on stage! To date, over one hundred and twenty seminars have taken place!Īside from hosting an average of twelve week-long seminars per year, MWTM has also run a number of Masterclasses and exclusive recording studio gatherings in the United States, typically coinciding with pro audio conventions by NAMM and AES. After the astonishing success and positive feedback following the debut seminar, MWTM was formed and further seminars were hosted featuring different guest speakers. At the time, it was intended to be a one-off event and the company did not exist. The MWTM programme was launched in 2010 after the first ever week-long seminar was conducted at Studios La Fabrique.
