Re: [oberheim] Problem with OB-Xa - no sound

2010-04-30 by Charles Massey

Tim,

I hate to rain on your parade but this machine will drive you  
insane.........  I ended up giving mine away after spending a fortune  
on it trying to keep it playing and in tune.  It was wonderful when it  
was working but.............

I ended up buying two Matrix 6R's and an Xpander.  They were all very  
good sounding and were absolutely no trouble, even after over 20 years  
of service.

FWIW
