OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hey,

Yeah, hope it comes soon. Looking forward to include the Xa into the 
midi setup.

> What do you think about the OB-X?

It´s a great machine, mine is probably a rev 2 or 3. It has an over 
all fatter character than the Xa. In unison mode it is easy to 
create moog like basses and powerfull leads. The Xmod is a feature 
not seen in the Xa which is great for creating wierd textures.

The Ob-X is quite easy to fix if it should break, many of the 
components are discrete and easy to find, not much CEM besides the 
Envelopes.

Best regards,
