OBERHEIM SYNTH

Syquest's editor comes in a multi-flavor version called MidiQuest and 
a single flavor M1000 only version called Uniquest.

They are a great editor and if you got a deal on the hardware, put the 
money into some good software, you won't regret it...Your time is 
worth money you.... never ever get it back , and good software saves 
you time and pays for itself quickly 

the other option is to find a used Matrix6R, they average around $225-
250 on eBay although I got mine on Craigslist for well under $200,  
you can program those to your hearts content and then load the 99 new 
patches into the M1000's bank 1 or bank 2....hey and you also get 
another synth.....there are also a lot of M6R patches on the net that 
sysex right in to the M1000 , so although they are not "your patches" 
many of them are quite good 

my only issue with the M1000 is remembering which patch number I 
like ...I have to keep a note card taped to it
