DSI OB-6
Two Legends. One Instrument
The OB-6 is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between the two most influential designers in poly synth history, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. The OB-6 takes the classic bold Tom Oberheim sound — with its true voltage-controlled oscillators, 2-pole filter, and amplifiers — and adds modern enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and more. No other modern analog poly synth can boast such a pedigree or such a massive, in-your-face sonic signature.

Awesome!
Analog is back and here to stay!
Harley Davidson: [after wishing Marlboro "Happy Birthday"] How does it feel to be an old man?
Marlboro: The older the bull, the stiffer the horn.
EDIT: I just got a GAS attack!

Re: DSI Oberheim OB-6 anyone?
Now that's something else! From the demos I've heard it sounds absolutely great. Also, I think much kudos should go to Dave Smith here. Tom Oberheim seemed to be struggling to get his products to market, and this arrangement will ensure that he gets the respect and income he so well deserves for his designs. The ultimate win-win!
And so far the interest and approval seem to be going through the roof.

Re: DSI Oberheim OB-6 anyone?
I want one!!!
Probably would just get the module, though-
Already have the P6. This is essentially a P6 with the OB VCOs and VCFs I think-

Re: DSI Oberheim OB-6 anyone?
Yes, my next purchase was a Prophet 6, so, it seems to be pretty close to it??...s***, I might have to buy the module, P6 or B6? but I like too much keys compared to Modules...

Yeah, GO BIG!!!! Booothhhh......
I would have said OB6 but I already have a NL2X, which is not your case according to your signature, so I understand your feeling....
