Re: Perf/X firmware pool, Cyclone

2005-09-20 by acousmatique

Ok, I just posted the firmware ROM for the Oberheim Cyclone arpeggiator. If you've got a 
broken Cyclone then maybe you can use this. If you have a different Perf/X box, an EPROM 
burner, and some curiousity - then maybe you want to load this ROM into your Perf/X and 
tell us whether or not it works. If anybody else wants to post firmware for other units, I'd 
love to see them. Else, if anybody want to send their other Perf/X boxes to me here in 
Connecticut so that I can painlessly dump the ROM and send it back to you, then please 
feel free to contact me.
