Troubleshooting
If you’re experiencing problems or unexpected behavior from your
OB-6, here are a few typical scenarios and their solutions:
If the OB-6 isn’t producing sound in live panel mode:
1. Enable live panel mode by pressing the manual button.
2. Initialize a basic program by holding the manual button and pressing
the write button.
3. If the problem is still there, return the instrument to live panel mode
again and check all parameters to make sure they are at non-zero
values. These parameters include:
• VCO 1 & 2 pitch
• VCO 1 & 2 mixer levels
• Program volume
• Master volume
• Set the Loudness Envelope
amount to max. Use a fast envelope with Sustain at max.
• Set VCO 1 & 2 to sawtooth
• Set lter cutoff to max
• Check all other parameters by physically changing them.
If the sequencer or arpeggiator has stopped running:
• Check the MIDI Clock setting in the Globals to ensure the OB-6 is set
to out or, if set to in or slave thru, make sure the OB-6 is receiving
MIDI clock.
If some of the programs sound different than usual:
• Check the Mod Wheel position. The Mod Wheel can do more than
just add vibrato. Also, check the Clock settings in the Global menu to
ensure the OB-6 is set to out or, if set to in or slave thru, make sure
the OB-6 is receiving MIDI clock.
