Thanks a lot for the response!
Planning to use it with an MPC, but sometimes itās nice to just start a synth and noodle away without distractions.
Just ordered one, oops! Desktop version.
I got a Minilogue XD a few weeks back. I like it but donāt love it. I decided to return it and go one step higher (if only in price!). Tomorrow is the last day I can return it. Close call

I got an OB-6 a few weeks ago (keyboard version, stumbled upon a good deal) and so far all I have to add to the conversation about it is that all of the rumors/mythology around it have proven to be true. The sound of it gives you chills, the filter is musical in every possible configuration, the panel is simple yet powerful, etc. etc. Thereās a lot of hype for this synth but, from my brief time with it so far, I think the hype is warranted.
One thing Iāll mention is that, despite the OB-6ās reputation for making dreamy pads and such, it can totally venture into noise/insanity territory. Iāve had a lot of fun pushing the mod matrix, LFO, distortion, and other features to their limits, and this synth just sounds full and detailed no matter where you take it. Iāve been mostly playing on a modular rig for the past year, so my instincts are to abuse everything and see what happens, but Iām excited to get more in tune with actually designing patches and coaxing the best out of it.

If you love pads, then you wonāt be disappointed. Great machine for those sounds.

Thanks. The post above yours makes me hope for more though!
Sorry, of course it can do more. But those rich pads are just too easy to dial in. Itās a great synth and my single biggest selling regret.

No worries, and sorry to hear you had to part with it!
Seems people feel a lot for this instrument, itās touching. I love it!

Iām always a little sad that they didnāt add just one extra LFO, or make the modwheel able to control other things, but by god it sounds amazing.
Iāve put it on everything Iāve made since owning it, and will continue to do so.

Yeah Iāve read that a few timesā¦ Iām thinking of dedicating my Digitone MIDI tracks for that when I lust for more evolving sounds and hopefully enjoy that.
I do hear that despite the somewhat limited modulation options it is much lovedā¦ Iām very eager 
It comes to replace a Minilogue XD which is a fine synth, which I like, but donāt love as much as I do other instruments I own. Nowadays I up my standard, has to make my heart shiver

I had mine since 2016 and love it even more today. Donāt really care about the limitations, I love what it does do, sounding absolutely gorgeous and radically different from my other synths

I donĀ“t get this photo, am I missing something?
One day Iāll scrounge up enough for one of these. Been on my ācannot affordā list forever. Also considering a Perkons or Pulsar in that range of one time purchases, but the OB6 is always on my mind.

Thanks for the heads up!
I think Iāll pass; Iām not using MPE (for now) and didnāt notice any problem with Aftertouch curve #7. Iām a bit scared of OS updates via Sysex to be honest
Yeah Iām actually pretty happy with it as it is and never really research that MPE thing. So I think Iāll wait as well
Just to make sure I didnāt miss it: thereās no way to reset oscillators with note ON right?
