DSI OB-6 and Prophet-6 Modules | Reviews THE PROS & CONS + The sound and build quality are top-notch All features are matched with the keyboard models, so stacking and poly-chaining is easy More portable and cheaper than the keyboard versions - Not being able to name patches can be frustrating – you’ll need a good memory to remember where all your patches are! No way to modulate the effects via the wheel/LFO/aftertouch and the single LFO can be limiting.

DSI OB-6 and Prophet-6 Modules | Reviews applied to the OB-6 module too). Well, it does what it says on the box! It’s quite literally the P6 (or OB-6) without the keyboard, made for desktop use, so the sound and all onboard facilities are 1:1 matched with the keyboard version(s), except for no wheels or keyboard! The build quality is universally high, with metal chassis/panel, solid dials/switches and wooden end cheeks (and wooden front trim on the P6M).

Reviews | DSI OB-6 and Prophet-6 Modules The OB-6 and Prophet-6 Modules: in the studio and on stage They’re built by the same company, share the same chassis/basic form factor, include the same effects and even sound pretty similar at certain settings.
