OB-6: Distortion Illustration

Published on Sep 23, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Something for the Oberheim connoisseurs. Presently I'm working on a patch for a complex 6-voice piece that should be uploaded midweek. In the meantime, I thought I'd share a short illustration of the distortion on the OB-6. The distortion gets quite a bad rep - but whether it sounds good or not is more a matter of context. In this vid the dist is cranked to the maximum - which, if you ask around, is generally considered 'unmusical' and unworkable.

When in the specific context of drone, the distortion (at high levels) comes into its own. The OB-6 is in fact something of a drone machine (I'll upload some drone-style music in the coming months). Personally, I'd happily listen to slow filter sweeps across a chord for hours. It certainly has a sense of 'epic' to it.

PS try with headphones for the bass."

Our resident synth expert Mathew Jonson digs into one of his favourite vintage synths to share more about its pads and prowess, here on Telekom Electronic Beats TV."
