Dawn Tonight
100 Patches for the DSI OB-6 Synthesizer
by Tarekith

Download The Patches Here:

http://tarekith.com/assets/DawnTonigh...

This bank of sounds was created to be used with the built in sequencer on the OB-6. While you can certainly play them normally via a keyboard, I recommend pressing Play on the OB-6 sequencer before you start browsing through the patches.

BY DEFAULT THE PATCHES WILL INSTALL IN USER BANK 0, PLEASE BACK UP ANY PATCHES YOU WANT TO SAVE BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE THEM WITH THIS BANK.

I’ve included the patches in sysex and MIDI file format, as well as a format that can be loaded via Soundtower Editor for the OB-6 available here:

https://www.soundtower.com/ob6/

This soundset is provided as donation-ware. It’s free to use, but if you like the sounds I’ve made for you please consider a small donation via the links in the READ ME file. $5 buys me a beer, $10 buys me a better beer, and $20 makes all my dreams come true.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the sounds I’ve created with this beautiful sounding synth.

"Ambient OB-6 explorations on a rainy and cold December morning. The OB-6 is used completely standalone, all sequences were prerecorded into the unit itself. Everything you hear is directly from the DSI OB-6, no additional effects or processing has been applied."

Dandelion Nights

Published on Nov 10, 2017 tarekith

"This song initially began as a sketch on my Novation Circuit over the summer. Nothing like sitting outside and jamming out some ideas on a nice little battery-powered device like that. Especially since now that it’s cold out, I can take those sketches and use not only the sounds, but also vibe I had at the time in something a bit more fleshed out.

All the drums, percussion, bassline, and a couple of the synths were from the Circuit, recorded into Ableton Live for arranging and mixing. On top of those sounds, I overdubbed more instrument parts from the DSI OB-6, Moog Animoog, and Live’s new Wavetable synth. The mixdown was done with only Live 10’s included devices, and mastering was nothing more than DMG Audio’s Limitless plug-in on the master channel to top off a few stray peaks.

Really happy with the vibe of this song, a sort of shifting uncertainty that reflects that change from summer to fall. As always, hope you enjoy!
