OBERHEIM SYNTH

This is something I have suspected for a while. I've had a Cyclone for years which I use 
from time to time. I've wanted to get the other Perf/X boxes but I usually don't have any 
extra cash for them when I spot good deals. Recently I bought a slightly-broken 
Systemizer which I'm gradually fixing. These boxes are exactly identical, controls, PCB, 
except the case color.

Why this makes me so psyched is that we can swap ROMs! No matter which one of these 
boxes you have, just swap the EPROM and it can be any of the others! I suggest we start a 
repository so that people can freely get code for any of the other Perf/X boxes they've 
wanted to try.

Last year I started by ripping and uploading the Cyclone ROM. Once I get the Systemizer 
running properly I'll up that ROM too. Anybody else want to pitch in? This leaves the 
Navigator, Strummer, Drummer - and maybe Chordinator, if that rare beast really exists - 
to add to the archives.

I am perfectly happy to help anybody here who has these machines but no access to 
EPROM tools. If you send another Perf/X to me I'll give you burned copies of the Cyclone 
and Systemizer firmware to use, and I'll pay return postage. So for the cost of mailing it to 
me and being without it for a couple of weeks, you'll basically be getting those other two 
boxes, in their functionality. If you're sincerely interested then contact me, I might be 
willing to mail a few ROMs out in advance to show that I am on the level. Easier if this is 
for USA only, otherwise postage becomes more difficult and costly.

This way I figure if you have one Perf/X, you have all of them! This way we won't need to 
shell out another $100-$200 on ebay for every other unit we want. Or you can buy a less 
popular unit like the Systemizer or Navigator and load it with software for the "jammier" 
units and get the same effect for a lesser cost. 

Thanks for considering!
