New member, with an OB-X request

2010-06-06 by Chris Wareham

Hi folks,

I recently acquired a four voice Oberheim OB-X and thought I'd join the
group. I've wanted an OB-X ever since I heard one used on Killing
Joke's "Night Time" album, and it's only taken me eighteen years to
fulfil that dream! I did have the opportunity to buy an OB-Xa
several years ago (allegedly, it was once owned by Lol Tolhurst of The
Cure), but passed it up in the hope of one day finding an OB-X.

Anyway, my main reason for posting is to ask if anyone can provide a
WAV file or similar of the factory patches. My Obie was completely
overhauled before I received it, erasing the patches. I'm having a
great time programming my own sounds, but I'd like to hear what the
original patches sounded like, and have the opportunity to use them as
the basis for further programming.

Regards,

Chris
