Re: [oberheim] how to load obxa presets from computer?

2009-04-24 by Paul J. White

I've found that I need to give my computer's audio output an external 
boost of +6db or so in order to get a DMX to accept sequence dumps 
played back as wav files.  This is with the computer volume levels at 
maximum.  I think the cassette interfaces on the Xa and DMX are 
basically identical, so this may work for you.  A mixing board, clean 
guitar booster or some other non-distorting amplifier can be used.
