Common Sequential OB-6 Questions
How do I configure the OB-6 to receive MIDI Clock from my DAW to sync the LFOs and arpeggiator?
Go to the Global settings (press Global), then navigate to the MIDI Clock parameter and set it to 'External'. Ensure your DAW is sending MIDI Clock on the correct MIDI channel the OB-6 is listening on.
Where are patches/presets actually saved on the OB-6, and how can I back them up?
Patches are saved internally in the OB-6's memory. To back them up, use the MIDI SysEx dump function (found in Global settings) and a MIDI interface/software capable of receiving SysEx data.
How do I use the OB-6's Poly Mod section, and what are some typical things it's used for?
Poly Mod uses Oscillator B and the Filter Envelope to modulate the other parameters. Common uses are creating complex filter sweeps, FM-style timbres, and adding movement to the sound using the filter envelope's shape.
I'm getting unwanted portamento (glide) on my OB-6 patches. How do I turn it off?
Turn the Glide knob located in the upper-right corner of the front panel all the way to the left, or to the 'off' position. The Glide function is always active but can be set to 0 ms to eliminate the effect.
How do I use the OB-6's X-Mod section to create dynamic effects?
The X-Mod section uses the Filter Envelope and Oscillator B as modulation sources; use the depth knobs to control the amount of modulation on the oscillator frequency and filter cutoff, leading to aggressive or subtle changes in tone based on the source and amount.
