OBERHEIM SYNTH

Well I got halfway there, I did setup my control freak to transmit certain 
parameters allowing me to change dcos, filter, res, envelopes, choose the 
between different waveforms and a few other things.  You can't do certain 
negative numbers on certain parameters with the control freak which can 
limit you in some ways. Lately I've just been using it to tweak main 
parameters, I'll find a sound I like and then twist it a bit, but for 
programming from scratch, like you would on a full blown analog with knobs, 
I prefer to use one of the computer editors, it is a bit quicker.  I have 
actually been trying to find a logic enviroment. The control freak makes the 
M6r come alive though. there is a slight delay when you turn a knob to when 
things change so not great for really fast filter sweeps or instant changes. 
  Anyway don't know if that is exactly what you wanted to know, it's late 
and I'm rambling.....
