OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hey Fran and Gregg 
I have been following this post closely!! I've also got a Matrix 1000 
and am very interested in these patchs it's a shame they are 35 
euros'...Anyway I was interested to here what software you guys are 
using as I've always had problems setting up a basic patch such as a 
sine or saw...I've often tended to tweak existing patchs until I have 
a desired effect...Also now this may sound a bit stupid but I've been 
lucky enough to aquire an Xpander recently and I have so many patchs 
on the Matrix I was wondering if there was any possible way of 
converting them for use on the Xpander? Two different machines I 
realise, but they are of the same family and have a similiar basic 
architecture!??!? Sorry in advance if thats not a very clever 
question! 

Kind regards

Sean
