Introducing the O-6 Synth Sample Pack

The Sequential OB-6 Analog Synth, beautifully sampled for Nord keyboards.

Joining the Juno-6 (J-6 Pack), the O-6 Synth packs a powerhouse of era-defining sounds. The impact Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim have made on analog synthesis is hard to overstate, and this collaboration between them on the Sequential OB-6 represents the best parts of both of their approaches to sound.

The Process

The O-6 Synth Pack represents the work of 6 months of tweaking and testing. Here’s what went into it:

1. Sold a sound system and purchased the OB-6 (these aren’t cheap! But definitely worth it)

2. Spent 5 months experimenting with the keyboard, programming it, and using it live and in the studio with band like Apollo LTD, Sidewalk Prophets, and more.

3. When I finally felt I’d found the sounds that fit what I liked the most about the instrument, I began sampling. When I finally finished, I threw out about half of the samples that were repetitive or not up to par, and really went deep on synthesizing again.

   The end result is a pack that lives in two worlds: the pure analog goodness that is the OB-6, combined with the flexibility of the Nord’s sample engine.

Blends seamlessly with the patches you already have.

The O-6 Synth Pack runs great as a standalone pack (meaning you can load it into any compatible Nord to instantly access the sounds), but it’s easy to add to any patches. Simply turn the sample select knob on your keyboard, and you instantly can blend a whole new sonic palette into your rig.

New Features

New one-click bundle file installation.

With the new bundled installation option, it’s as easy as dragging and dropping in the bundle file to install your entire pack. It’s still possible to install the individual synth presets and programs, as well- you get to choose the way that works best for you.

New program and synth preset sample lists.

We now have spreadsheets listing all of the samples used in all the program and synth preset files. If you ever are missing a sample or want to just install a couple synth presets, just fire up the spreadsheet and you’ll be able to find what you need quickly.

New double layered program files.

All program files now include a Layer 1 and 2 option, with the first layer being more subtle and the second layer growing into a massive space. Check the videos above for more info.

New updated sample categories.

With the Nord Stage 4, all NSMP4 files need to be in the correct category in the sample library. To do this, we recreated all of the root sample files again, re-exporting them in the correct category.

New install guides.

We’ve completely re-written all of our installation guides to make it quick and clear how to install your files. It’s faster and simpler than ever to install your packs.

Easy to install.

If you’re more a visual person, we’ve created a brand new NS4 packs-specific installation video for you. It’s easy and fast to get started:
