OB-6 Operation Manual

Getting Started

Comparing Before You Save

Before saving a program to a new location, it’s a good idea to listen to the

program in the target location to make sure you really want to overwrite it.

To evaluate a program before you overwrite it:

1. Get ready to save by pressing the

write

button. It starts flashing.

2. Press the

global

button. Both LEDs on the button light up, indicating

compare

mode.

3. Use the program buttons to navigate to the sound you want to compare

and play the keyboard to hear the sound.

4. To disable the compare function and go back to the edited sound, turn

off the

global

button. Programs can’t be written while in compare

mode.

5. If you want to save the edited sound, the

write

button is still flashing

and ready to save, so enter a location with the program buttons. The

sound is saved.

6. Alternatively, if you want to cancel saving and continue editing, press

the

write

button. It stops flashing and saving is canceled.

Moving to the Next Level

Before you start exploring the sound creation capabilities of the OB-6

we’d like to point you toward a few things that will help you tailor the

instrument to your needs.

First, check out the

Global Settings

section of this manual. Read about

Pot Modes and determine which works best for you when you’re editing

sounds. You’ll also find information about MIDI setup. Read this to more

effectively integrate the OB-6 into your MIDI rig. To get the most out of

the OB-6’s live performance capabilities, read up on using a footswitch

or expression pedal.

And finally, be on the lookout for tips and notes scattered throughout

this manual to gain a better working knowledge of the OB-6. The better

you know it, the more you’ll get out of it. We wish you many hours of

musical exploration!
