Ha, ha 8-), yes, indeed! Well, I was lucky to notice as, after following wise suggestions from other members to run the calibration test as shown in the manual, page 39, I could hear the sixth voice running happily together with the other five correctly! Did You already try? Next move, I am trying
to store some customized preset, in order to check how they sound after turning the unit off and on again...After I changed the internal battery, of course...( This recalls to my memory the funny parrot playing in puppets "Pets" TV serial, repeating all the times at the end of its sketches: " Did I already tell You I enourmusly like drinking my *****" ,at least as translated here in Italy...;-).
Cheers, and please, just let me know if You can set something succesfully,my best wishes!
Francesco.

            Hey, it's me again. Like I said, some of my patches are messed up... some are missing one note out of six, some have other issues. I have learned to aaccept this problem because most of the patches are fine. I wanted to tell you that one of your cem's may be bad, regardless of the calibration test you did. That's my hunch. But good luck with your OB. I wish Tom Oberheim would act more like Dave Smith and get back to Synthesizers, dammit!

            Thanks a lot, maybe Oberheim programmers made the presets in a hurry and nothing more. I only wish I could store some of my future patches so to find them sounding again exactly as I programmed them...This would be the most important thing....Did You managed to do this? And...did I tell You all I am seriously thinking to replace the internal battery already..... ;-P ?
Cheers,
Francesco.

I have the same problem, I would say about 2/3 of the patches work

fine, the other third are unusable. I learned to live with it.

Regarding errors in writing, there are a few...
