OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hi guys,

so as I repaired my OB-SX today (besides trying to fix the OBXa) I'm now looking for more voice cards for the OB-SX.

Mine only has a poor one installed, so at least two more would be great :-)

I really like the sound and somehow it feels a bit ballsier than the OBXa. Probably from the X-Mod from the OBX ?

Don't need the Curtis chips, only the cards.

I know some technicians used them to pull the CEMs, so maybe someone here has some in the scrap box ?

Thanks and best,

Thomas

If I'm not mistaken the OB-SX uses the same voice cards as the OB-Xa.  Am I correct on this?  Anybody care to comment?

No, they are definitely not the same, similar, but not the same

HI,
no, the cards are not the same. 
The OBXa has two filter chips and the OB-SX one i.e.
The OB-SX is also more or less a mix of the OBX and the OBXa. It still has the X-Mod from the OBX
and as far as I remember a different VCA ?
Best,
Thomas
