This is also thanks to its discrete analog oscillators. The OB-6 has \u003cstrong\u003etwo VCOs\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003ewhite-noise generator\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003esub-oscillator\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Oscillator 2 is accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003eDetune\u003c\/strong\u003e knob to vary the pitch within a ¼ tone range. The switch called \u003cstrong\u003eLow Freq\u003c\/strong\u003e is used to trigger the generation of very low frequencies and is therefore useful as an LFO or in creating drones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince the OB-6 has extremely stable VCOs, the \u003cstrong\u003eDetune\u003c\/strong\u003e knob adds random detuning to the oscillators to emulate the typical instability of vintage synths. When the \u003cstrong\u003eUnison\u003c\/strong\u003e function is on, the OB-6 acts like a monophonic synth: it plays only one note at a time.
