Don't really get why there are dislikes to these videos? It's a chance for us to get a look into the mind of a musician at the top of his game. If you are a musician it's a gold mine of ideas and inspiration. What's to dislike!
Totally agree I mean the playing them sounds this is so inspiring what is there not to like about it. Trolls love the internet because they can hide behind it.
@Tyrone Richard Philgence you have a normal logical thinking mind. Those who dislike this video are people who are envious and haven't got what Matt has and aren't as good as he is. No one hates on someone who isn't as good as they are, only on people who are better. Matt probably doesn't pay them any mind as he knows this too.
Best bit 5:00 . Forget the synths...... you cant buy that playing style. When the piano glides in under the sequence.....damn thats some real juice right there.
This is what I’ve been waiting for! Man oh man, Matt’s review of the Prophet 6 blew me away, but the OB-xa he was playing as companion was next level! Can't wait to finish watching this video.
You are so inspiring man! Glad to see you come alive with your videos! Super appreciated! All the best from Stockholm, Sweden! I saw you guys at Lollipop Festival here 1997.
Hi Matt. Another awsome video. As always awsome content. Some awsome kit. Could sit and listen to you play for hours. You are a master of your profession. 👊
Always appreciate hearing your takes on two different synths of potentially equal caliber! Love the sounds of both OB and P6. Good takeaways to hear and worth noting. Glad to hear the P6 can cover so many bases
I coul listen to your playing for days. Such moody vibes. I love them. I also feel the OB-6 is the one synth in the DSI range that comes closest to that vintage synth sound
I have to say that some, no most of these songs you're playing are ripping my heart out. I wish they were all full length. So beautiful, your melodies and programs complimenting one another. Thanks (first time viewer, btw, instant "follow")
New SEM’s i guess. The old ones sound very different. Also a montage may sound analog in the mid and top end but not the low end. My $100 K2000 is the same. Still hunting for SEM poly with patch memory 😉 Should have bought it when it was offered cheap. But my knowledge wasn’t on par. Still hate myself for that. Hahaha
@@Madrrrrrrrrrrr I don't think anyone's claiming the Montage sounds analogue, just that it sounds great and has very deep synthesis, which is absolutely true.
Loved this. Lovely to hear an instrument review focused on playing music with the instrument. Then to discover in the comments that you made all the patches you played from init (so fun, isn’t it?), you’ve won yourself a fan and subscriber. Most gigging musicians couldn’t care less about my favorite thing, dialing in the sounds!
Cheers Matt, lovely sounds and playing once again. I really like these minimal little sketches you put together for these videos, like others here it feels like an EP or album in this vein would be a nice thing. Keep well fella. :)
Thank you for an excellent demo! The OB6 pairs beautifully with the Montage 8 (got already and I love it!). Beautiful sounds. I’ve just put my order in for one. 😊
Spot on assessment I sold the P6 for the OB module and the OB has blown me away, it has such a signature sound that is in so many film scores , esp sci fi the prophet 6 sounds awesome but I already have other analog gear and found that I didn’t need it as much and I wanted that OB signature sound, I think it’s best synth brass it’s the standard for that ....among other things ....the you tube videos dont do it full justice.....thx for your posts you encouraged me to try it .....
you'd be sounds great with cheapy casio stuff..man admire you! sounds great as well as sound design, so deeeeep! much love and respect , from S. Korea. hope thing gets better all over the world.
I wish I could rock a turtleneck with such confidence like Matt does. OB6 is pretty cool. If I could only own one I'd go for a prophet 6 as it's a little more versatile but they're both lovely
hi, great video! how serendipitous i spent all morning exploring sounds from my OB-6 module, i have that soundtower plug-in, and i do more programming from ableton than playing, but using that plug-in you can modulate almost anything on the OB-6, for example the amount of analog distortion
around 6:06 this is where the universe is giving you the fine tingling sensation along the spine and tells you "yes, you are fully in there with the music and the music embraces you" - at least this is what your playing gave me - cheers, man, wonderful!
Fantastic! I have OB-6 for a few months and love it more every time I program and play it. However, I have the one last free tier on the keyboard stand in my room... I feel temptation to put the Prophet 6 there...
I always thought the ob 6 just had that special "something" over almost anything at dsi/sequential (although I do love my tempest) and I'm a dave smith fan boy. Thanks for these amazing reviews Matt, you're a great man, the synth community is full of the coolest, most imaginative people!!!
Matt A exquisite demonstration as we have come to expect from you no matter what the product. Your refined ear and feel always bring out the absolute best an instrument can produce and in a useful, musical and informative way. To my way of thinking people focus way to much on the power and specs of synths. Take a Minimoog on paper its specs are nothing compared to gear a third its price but there are few more musical more magical or more useful. In short, it has a unique character like the Oberheim State Variable filter does no mat what oscillator you run into it. You are correct the Prophet 6 and Rev 2 are incredibly versatile but the OB 6 has a unique character that evokes an instant emotional response. Not that the others don't but its just that bit special.
Great presentation and info, lovely playing, I’m digging in with the Kronos, but I really fancy dipping my toe in the water with Dave Smith , although I’ll have to wait it out now as watching finances in this tricky world hopefully I got a job on the other side... Just lovin the Jam, 🎹😎 inspired 🙌🏻🙏🏻 Stay Safe ❤️ 👍🏻
Love my OB-6 it’s definitely worth spending time with and playing with, the nice and important thing with the OB-6 is that its Not an obxa or matrix replica its its own character but is capable of recreating the usual oberheim sounds if you wanted.

@@dmomcilovic9185 yes, because clearly you can't love and use software and hardware at the same time
Well said mate , our world is full of critics , who are arguably stuck somewhere they don’t want to be
Best bit 5:00 . Forget the synths...... you cant buy that playing style. When the piano glides in under the sequence.....damn thats some real juice right there.
Its Dave Smiths 70th birthday. Good day for this video!
Matt has such a talent to come up with all these catchy sounds and chords. Can‘t wait to buy his new album!
OB6 and Prophet 6 went into the woods. OB6 came back.
Your presentations are always entertaining. Thank you.
You ever get that feeling of listening to music so good, you're almost brought to tears?
Between the choice of patches and sounds and chords and modulations you use, your demos are as entertaining to me as the songs you write. Bravo.
I love your demos...what an amazing musician! Thank you! I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe...
Gorgeous, what a sound. And so nicely played as well. I adore this synth :)
Love your playing, I could be watching and listening for hours. Keyboards paradise! :)
This is what I’ve been waiting for! Man oh man, Matt’s review of the Prophet 6 blew me away, but the OB-xa he was playing as companion was next level! Can't wait to finish watching this video.
Beatiful music Matt! Thanks for sharing it! I find your videos incredibly inspiring.
Keep safe and healthy everyone!
You are so inspiring man! Glad to see you come alive with your videos! Super appreciated! All the best from Stockholm, Sweden! I saw you guys at Lollipop Festival here 1997.
Don't blame it on the synth😉, it's your playing which makes it so beautiful.
Yeah... in my hands it would be just random noises... lol.
Thats so true!!
yes you have to find the good sounds and thats also difficult!
Hi Matt.
Another awsome video.
As always awsome content. Some awsome kit.
Could sit and listen to you play for hours.
You are a master of your profession.
👊
Always appreciate hearing your takes on two different synths of potentially equal caliber! Love the sounds of both OB and P6. Good takeaways to hear and worth noting. Glad to hear the P6 can cover so many bases
Your playing is a great compliment to those synths..... not to mention, you understand synth signal flow, a gigantic asset of yours !!!!
A great pleasure to hear your nice playing. DSI are fantastic instruments, cool to see and play !
Love your videos and your sounds. Stay safe and healthy!
Never mind the wonderful synths, your playing is absolutely beautiful.
Yeah. Just... WOW
Hi Matt, sounds so good , so groovy, love it. Stay healthy and keep on. Thanks for the video.
excellent ! Great you talked about the differences between the Prophet 6 and OB-6. Very helpful ❤😀
this is an extraordinary video for so many reason! Thank you Matt!!
5:46 is pure joy
I coul listen to your playing for days. Such moody vibes. I love them. I also feel the OB-6 is the one synth in the DSI range that comes closest to that vintage synth sound
I have to say that some, no most of these songs you're playing are ripping my heart out. I wish they were all full length. So beautiful, your melodies and programs complimenting one another. Thanks (first time viewer, btw, instant "follow")
The synth sounds great. But your playing takes it to a new level :) thanks for the inspiration!
so good to hear a good keyboard player put this synth to work. Montage sounds amazing too
Thanks for the demo. Seems like the perfect companion for the Montage.
Came for the OB6, left impressed by the Montage, which as an analog guy who owns SEM modules, would never thought I'd say.
Station 2Station - I own the ModX which is the less of the two. It’s incredibly deep, feature rich and simply an amazing kit.
New SEM’s i guess. The old ones sound very different. Also a montage may sound analog in the mid and top end but not the low end. My $100 K2000 is the same. Still hunting for SEM poly with patch memory 😉 Should have bought it when it was offered cheap. But my knowledge wasn’t on par. Still hate myself for that. Hahaha
Same here- wasn't familiar with the Montage but thought it sounded great.
@@Madrrrrrrrrrrr I don't think anyone's claiming the Montage sounds analogue, just that it sounds great and has very deep synthesis, which is absolutely true.
Kept thinking the same! The Montage has some really fat sounds.
Thanks for the demonstration. Really enjoyed that!
I love your honesty.
Thanks for your great explanation Matt, wonderful demo as wel!
Loved this. Lovely to hear an instrument review focused on playing music with the instrument. Then to discover in the comments that you made all the patches you played from init (so fun, isn’t it?), you’ve won yourself a fan and subscriber. Most gigging musicians couldn’t care less about my favorite thing, dialing in the sounds!
Love the mix with piano and OB-6. Very musical demo. Thanks.
Beautiful music/sounds. Thanks for sharing.
sooo good, amazing talent
Loving your videos, they're great
Fantastic demo, many thanks
Cheers Matt, lovely sounds and playing once again. I really like these minimal little sketches you put together for these videos, like others here it feels like an EP or album in this vein would be a nice thing. Keep well fella. :)
Matt Johnson Jamiroquai Thanks for being here programming with us, Love your dedication as fellow Synth-Enthusiasts
Thank you for an excellent demo! The OB6 pairs beautifully with the Montage 8 (got already and I love it!). Beautiful sounds. I’ve just put my order in for one. 😊
Just LOVE your stuff!
sounds lovely...thanks as always dude!!
Thanks, Matt. Super inspiring video
Matt, you are the best. Just keep doing this!
Thanks for sharing the sounds! Awesome.
Great voices fantastic performance..thanks 🙏
I could listen to you the whole day
Absolutely Beautiful !!!
Spot on assessment I sold the P6 for the OB module and the OB has blown me away, it has such a signature sound that is in so many film scores , esp sci fi the prophet 6 sounds awesome but I already have other analog gear and found that I didn’t need it as much and I wanted that OB signature sound, I think it’s best synth brass it’s the standard for that ....among other things ....the you tube videos dont do it full justice.....thx for your posts you encouraged me to try it .....

Great sounds, great Music. 👏
such a warm deep sound to it
Always the top , magnificent 💣💣💣
Timing an nuances are amazing. Matt is the real deal.
I wish I could rock a turtleneck with such confidence like Matt does.
OB6 is pretty cool. If I could only own one I'd go for a prophet 6 as it's a little more versatile but they're both lovely
Nice sounding demo. Not used to hearing that level of technical virtuosity, very nice.
Really enjoy this video, especially the pairing with another voice to get a taste for its real musical context.
Great video, Matt! Pretty sure the OB-6 is still at the top of my list for next synth acquisition. Vibe for days!
Thanks Mike!
Nice Patches! Love my OB-6 : )
Such a great player Matt!
hi, great video! how serendipitous i spent all morning exploring sounds from my OB-6 module, i have that soundtower plug-in, and i do more programming from ableton than playing, but using that plug-in you can modulate almost anything on the OB-6, for example the amount of analog distortion
You are so good and have such a good taste that you'd make a broken spoon and a tea cup sound as good as a whole symphonic orchestra ;)
Matt Johnson solo ambient synth album... Synth Matters 🙏
That would be awesome, I'd share it far and wide too!
Yes. Instrumental only, please
Now is great time to post an all synth album on Bandcamp for $10 🤞
Fantastic Demo!
around 6:06 this is where the universe is giving you the fine tingling sensation along the spine and tells you "yes, you are fully in there with the music and the music embraces you" - at least this is what your playing gave me - cheers, man, wonderful!
Great video! I'm a fan of analog synths as much as the next guy, but holy smokes that deep Montage pad at 3:57 sounds so good
Love it all but esp the slow jam bit hehe lots of fun. And great to hear space cowboy too!
Great work my friend!!!
Fabuleux !!
merci.
Def my fav synth of recent time.
So good!
Nick Batt was drooling over this synth, says a lot about how good it is.
wow you actually make cool sounds man great playing also
OB sound is soo so good
Fantastic! I have OB-6 for a few months and love it more every time I program and play it. However, I have the one last free tier on the keyboard stand in my room... I feel temptation to put the Prophet 6 there...
beautiful !
This video made me put both OB6 and pro6 on my shopping list for next couple of months.
uuu..You are playing in such a nice manier. Super nice!
Yes... Yes... They are both great synths... I say this while drooling over the montage... ☮🔥
The Montage doesnt Sound too shabby either. Nice!
YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD! PERIOD!
Dude, the OB6 is great.. but you are rockin that shiny skivvy bro! I want one!
I always thought the ob 6 just had that special "something" over almost anything at dsi/sequential (although I do love my tempest) and I'm a dave smith fan boy. Thanks for these amazing reviews Matt, you're a great man, the synth community is full of the coolest, most imaginative people!!!

I wish I could borrow your brain. Truly gifted.
It’s that SEM baby! Thank you Tom (and Dave)!
Yep- best playing I’ve seen in a synth demo 👊
Great presentation and info, lovely playing, I’m digging in with the Kronos, but I really fancy dipping my toe in the water with Dave Smith , although I’ll have to wait it out now as watching finances in this tricky world hopefully I got a job on the other side...

Stay Safe ❤️ 👍🏻

Matt appreciate your insight and opinion....and woooow 5:48 to 6:18 Funk, Soul, Gospel and Brazilian jazz Fused into one 🤯 Brilliant!!!!
BRAVO !
Very sweet sounds indeed! I really must get my hands on a OB-6 at some point! Stay Safe! :D
Love videos like this
superb, thanks.
Very nice sounds maybe a future purchase!
Well shared. Thanks!
banging demo
