Voidcontrol MIDI Releases OB-6 Unofficial Editor: DAW Integration for the Oberheim OB-6


OB-6 Unofficial Editor - VST3 Demo video upload by Voidcontrol MIDI



"Voidcontrol MIDI has released the OB-6 Unofficial Editor, a Windows VST3 plugin that lets you control and automate the Oberheim OB-6 from within a DAW, just like a software instrument.

The OB-6 is a beloved analog polysynth, and the Unofficial Editor makes it straightforward to integrate into a modern DAW session. Every parameter is on screen, organized by section, with real DAW automation on every control rather than just MIDI learn. A standalone version is also included.

Features include:

Full parameter control, organized by section
Real DAW automation lanes for every parameter (VST3 version)
A patch library with naming, categories, search, and sharing
A polyphonic sequencer that plays back on the OB-6 itself
A/B snapshots with an automatable morph slider
Editing of the OB-6's global settings
A resizable interface (50% to 300%)

The editor has been tested in Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, and Waveform, and works in the Windows 11 MIDI 2.0 environment.

'I built it because I wanted my OB-6 to fit into my DAW the way my soft synths do, and I designed it to be something I'd want to use myself every day,' said Dave of Voidcontrol MIDI.

Voidcontrol MIDI is a small US-based developer making editors for boutique and classic hardware synths. The OB-6 Unofficial Editor is its second release.

The OB-6 Unofficial Editor is available now at voidcontrolmidi.com for an introductory $30 USD through June 16, 2026, after which it returns to its regular price of $40 USD.

rare birds: Viscount PCM R64s digital/analog drum machine (with pitch mods)


video upload by studi-ohm-studi

Follow-up to this post.

"The Viscount PCM R64s is a 80s italian rhythm machines, combining 8 bit PCM samples (10 sounds) and analog sound (both TOMs and the Cymbal). Actually the 'bongo' sound is made of both a sample and an analog sound, so that's 4 analog sounds on board.
Bad news is that it is not a drum machine but a rhythm machine, indeed you cannot program anything onto it, it's purely a presets unit !
Good news is that it sounds great and thanx to some mute switches and several instruments group volume knobs you can get make the 64 onboard patterns sound like more. It also features 'break', 'handclap solo' and the ability to be synced and/or sync to/from other gear.
Overall sound is fat and punchy, with the analog Cymbal sound bringing some "air" to the sound. Stereo image is quite wide.
I modified this unit by adding a global "pitch" control that act on the 10 PCM sounds (basically changing the clock speed of the sample playback, just like on the MXR 185 for instance) and a Cymbal tune pot. These are simply trimmers that are on the PCB that I externalized. There are also 2 more trimmers to tune the 2 TOMs analog sounds, but since they are not used on many patterns, mainly for breaks, I didn't feel it would add a lot to the sound.
These modifications do however transform this unit and make it more versatile.
In this video I first play with the "samba" differrent patterns and in the second part I demo some more patterns. When you only hear the Handclap sound this means I'm pressing on a footswitch (off screen) plugged to the unit to that intent.
The R64s is plugged into the Tapco 4400A dual spring reverb and then recorded straight with no further editing nor treatment.
Sorry for having my right arm in front of the camera and for the focusing issue."

"Several years ago, I made two tracks as if I were producing something for a film like 1492 or The Bounty, but in my own style. I called them « 1492, the other journey ». These two tracks have evolved over the years; here is their final version. Have a good trip!
