Lots of personality
Like everyone else have written here, I can only repeat that this instrument sounds particularly great. There is so much character and sound in this one, and after I powered it on for the first time I spend 1+ hour with the first patch alone. I am not a good keys player, but the keybed and the immediacy of the OB-6 changed that and it just keeps making me come up with new melodies and sounds. I play it often several times a week.
Only slight critique I have is that all the LEDs are dimmed using PWM - they are flickering and it is slightly annoying. Its not as bad as on the Rev 2, but it wouldn't have cost them much to add a handful of resistors to make a flicker free instrument. Also, the USB port is not properly isolated, so you need a 7$ chinese USB isolator if you want to use the USB port without hearing noise. These are minor issues, but they could have been prevented with ease.

amazing sound - but technical issues
It sounds wonderful. its a real pleasure creating sounds with it.
I had to send it back for repair maybe 2 months after receiving it due to the patch select buttons rarely responding. it was better when i got it back, but it still doesnt seem to work properly. sometimes they respond to light touches, other times i have to push real hard. wouldnt trust it playing live.
another issue is a software bug, and I'm not the only one experiencing it (i checked the sequential forum) i have the latest firmware, still, on certain patches where keytrack is enabled and the filter is removing alot of frequencies, a section of low notes are completely unfiltered. this issue spans over a fifth in my case. it works as expected above and below the 'buggy' section. no fix yet it seems, not for me at least. there are workarounds but its a pain in the behind to stop your work just to figure a way around a software issue, especially on a synth this expensive.
Sequential seem to have been aware of this issue for quite some time but have yet to update the firmware and solve the problem.
