Has anyone looked at reverse engineering the digital bus from the Oberheim System lately? Can't seem to find much out there on it. I have an OB-SX which I still love after all these years and would love to midi it up. All I have found is this but it almost seems too good to be true and it's quite expensive. Any thoughts

Unfortunately I have no expertise in deciphering this kind of digital bus stuff I'm only good at scrutinizing old "audio" data streams
Maybe ask Paul White at Electrongate?

Doesn't look too bad. Basically the synth polls the handshake signals at several places in the code, and if the DSX has something to write it asserts a signal, then the synth gets off the bus and asserts BUSACK. Now the DSX can get on the data and address buses and write directly into the RAM of the synth, to insert notes, or other data as needed. When it's done, it releases BUSREQ and the synth goes back to normal operation. Bob -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 7/13/16, 'Paul J. White' pjwhite@...
