## What is Patchhero?

The Sequential OB6 and Sequential Prophet 6 synthesisers are contemporary instruments inspired by vintage counterparts. Specifically the Oberheim OB series of the 1980s and the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 of 1978.

Consistent with this heritage, both instruments have only simple numerical displays. Hidden in the patch data are patch names and patch sound categories. The numerical displays are unable to show this information.

Many musicians find descriptive patch names more memorable and inspiring than numbers. When auditioning sounds it’s helpful to organise them by sound category.

Patchhero is the missing screen for the Sequential OB6 and Sequential Prophet 6 synthesisers; allowing you to navigate, name, categorise, and filter patches.

Connect using the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter via direct USB or via a USB MIDI interface. Connect wirelessly with Bluetooth, using a Bluetooth MIDI adaptor. Connect with Wi-Fi, using RTP-MIDI over a shared network.

Please see the user manual for a list of supported devices.
