Re: [oberheim] Matrix-6 display issues?

2014-01-17 by Daniel Forró

Hi, Bob,

that's pretty good job you did! I supposed it must be somehow  
possible, PIC solution is perfect, but of course it needs a knowledge  
on your level. Compliments.

Seeing this I think there's a good hope to find a solution for old  
instruments with simple one line VF displays like Oberheim Matrix 6,  
Roland MKS70, VP70, or Ensoniq product line...
It would be a great help for whole synth freaks community to have a  
chance to buy such interfaces. It's quite possible that after almost  
30 years those old instruments can have problems with displays. I'm  
sure it can be a good business project.

Thank you very much for your effort. If you will consider some  
research and development, for sure you will find customers (me  
included).
