OBERHEIM SYNTH

The Strummer was also very cool.

The Systemizer was basically the processing engine from the XK keyboard
controller, with a few additional nifty things like some cool patch chaining
and an alternate patch mode. It was quite cool, and I used to have two --
sold one and the other one got stolen.

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
