OB-6 Start Up Question

OB-6 Start Up Question
« on: October 27, 2025, 11:35:43 PM »
Hello!
I just received my OB-6 synthesizer. When I power it on using the switch, I hear a thud or click from my monitors, and the synth's lights flash on and then off before settling on the usual illuminated settings. Is this normal? If it's not, how can I troubleshoot this issue?

Mine does that, I think that's just the way they are.

This is expected behavior. We recommend muting your mixer/input/channel/speakers when powering the OB-6 on.  :)
