OB-6 Operation Manual

Mixer

The Mixer section is where you set the levels of the various sound gener-

ators on the OB-6. These include VCO 1, VCO 2, Sub Octave (Oscillator

1 sub oscillator) and the white noise generator. You must turn up at least

one of these in order to make sound with the OB-6.

Rather than limit the OB-6’s outputs to keep the instrument from clipping, we

allow you to adjust levels at various points in its signal path. This gives you the option

to “overload” things in interesting ways, if you wish to do so. If not, try reducing the

levels of the oscillators in the miXer section, the env amount parameter in the Loudness

Envelope, or the resonance parameter in the lter.

The Mixer

VCO 1: Sets the output level of Oscillator 1.

VCO 2: Sets the output level of Oscillator 2.

Sub Octave: Controls the level of a square wave oscillator pitched one

octave below Oscillator 1. Adding a sub octave to sounds such as bass are

a great way to increase their low-register presence.

Noise: Sets the output level of the white noise generator.
