Dave Smith Instruments OB-6

I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up yet, considering it's the product of a collaboration between Dave Smith & Tom Oberheim.


This video is more of a teaser trailer.....they only show the synth onscreen as a picture for a few seconds :|


This one's better....still would've liked a hands-on demo though

Here's a quick run-down of the features:

-Two-pole, resonant, filter per voice with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch functionality inspired by the original Oberheim SEM filter
-Two discrete VCOs per voice
-Continuously variable wave shape (sawtooth and variable-width pulse, plus triangle on oscillator 2) per oscillator
-1 LFO with the Mod destinations: oscillator 1 frequency, oscillator 2 frequency, oscillator 1 and 2 pulse width, filter cutoff, filter mode, amp
-Effects section with stereo analog distortion, dual, reverb (room, hall, plate, spring), delay (full bandwidth digital delay and emulated bucket brigade), chorus, flanger, phase shifters, and ring modulator.
-Effects section can also be bypassed entirely, creating a 100% analog signal path.


I can't seem to find the price anywhere, but I would guess in the $800-$1200 range.....that's pure speculation though. By the way, how great is it that we finally have a modern throwback synth with FULL-SIZED KEYS?
