OBERHEIM SYNTH

Is it possib;e to load sounds into the OB-8 via MIDI sysex?  I am not 
sure how my sounds were originally loaded but they have a lot of "tape-
hiss" to the actual voices, and I wondered if this was attributed to 
loading the sounds via the cassette interface.  Let me know if it can 
be done and how it's accomplished.  thanks

I don't know if you can load patches via midi BUT....
this won't solve your "tape hiss" problem in any case.  The OB-8 is
not a sampler, loading patches is more like turning the knobs and then
hitting the save button. If you have a "hiss" you might have a problem
with the "noise" being on or there may be some problem with the final
amp output, or likely it is just the nature of the old analog beast. 
Use a noise gate if it is hissing when you are not hitting any keys.
