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!

Niagara - Soleil d'Hiver, cover by Valmont & Angèle Borscha


video upload by Valmont

"A quick aside from the ongoing LP works : through one of those quirks of my tech sidejob, I ended up with a LinnDrum and an Emulator II in my bedroom at the same time :) My project singer Angèle and I couldn't resist putting them through a fun functional test. So here goes our first cover of a French band we really like. The song is called 'Soleil d'Hiver' by NIAGARA. Simply faithful to the original, because why not? x) And while we're at it, happy birthday to Daniel Chenevez, who co-wrote this song with Muriel Moreno :)))

Also involved in this live tracking: URSA Major Stargate 323, Dynacord PDD14, A/DA MB-1, Alesis XT:C, Dynacord VRS23, Publison Infernal Machine 90, Roland SIP-301, MXR Dual Limiter, Klark Teknik DN780, Yamaha R1000, A/DA MP-1 and BiAmp Model 42.

My name is Valmont, I'm 24 from Paris! I compose/produce music, take sound on movie sets and repair instruments :)
After a double bachelor in musicology and mechanics in Sorbonne, I ended up doing the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Louis-Lumière.
I wrote my thesis on Publison and Early Digital, which ultimately tied together my long-standing fascination in vintage machines, servicing and technical demystification with my personal attraction to these instruments.
I tend to hope for a unified low-level approach to music production guided by DIY values. This Youtube channel is a form of its realization!

Joranalogue and Friends / ODESSA chords / DISCRETE MAP sequence / CYCLE 5 bass


video upload by BRiES

"Apart from the bass (CYCLE 5) I'm not using any Joranalogue modules for sound generation... but all of the modulation, a lot of the sequencing and triggers are made with, processed by or routed through the Joranalogue modules. They truly are kings of utility (and more). I think it's fair to mention that I used quite a bunch of Schlappi modules for the transposition of the chords as well as Discrete Map by New Systems Instruments for the sequencing of the root of the chord as well as the main clock of the patch."

Still the Tonverk. And an external FX pedal


video upload by keinseier

"Still in love with the Tonverk. Still learning it - added the Solis Ventus here for some infamous shimmer in the latter half. Also - added a little preview at the beginning of the vid. Good thing? Nah?"

Exploring the Chromaplane: Live Improv, Tuning Screws, & External Drones


video upload by Andre Bregegere

"A live, fully improvised performance exploring the unique architecture of the Koma Elektronik Chromaplane. This session is a deeper dive into the instrument's hands-on playability—including on-the-fly tuning—and external input processing.

On-screen captions are included in the first half to break down the basics of the instrument and explain exactly what is happening under the hood.

Performance Breakdown:
• The Core: Sound generation starts with the Chromaplane, interacting directly with its electromagnetic fields.
• On-The-Fly Tuning: Watch as I use the tuning screws mid-performance to shift pitches and reshape the harmonic foundation in real-time.
• The Expansion: In the final act, things get heavier as I introduce an external input—the gritty, texture-rich Triad drone/noise synth by DecadeBridge.
• The Space: The entire mix is processed through the Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station to pull the mono signal into an immersive, wide stereo space.

The performance was recorded live, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.
