OBERHEIM SYNTH

i'm mostly just curious because i've never had one and wanted to know about its exceptional abilities above something like the peavey midi manager, which i do have (though never use).

the built-in oberheim overspill mode pretty much does alternating voices, and will alternate between up to 6 modules. i've been putting the first one center, and slightly panning the remaining two right and left. hard panning is also a great effect when you are playing two at a time in stereo -- the non-synched lfos can make for some dramatic chorus effects.

oberheim was way ahead of its time as far as midi goes. maybe i'll luck out one of these day and get any of their midi processors. the drummer looked pretty cool as well. -pc
