OBERHEIM SYNTH

This is the one of the devices that I just haven't been able to understand
it's functions. I used to have a systemizer, and it was amazing for setting
up splits, multiple instrument layers, and other cool stuff. What does the
Navigator actually do?

Hi Nichole,
Sorry for the late reply, but i did not see this until today.  so sorry.  Yes, the OB Navigator is somewhat similar to the Systemizer.  It can set up MIDI mapping.  It can be very valuable to rescale the velocity or pressure of your keyboard.  very cool.  it can also reverse the bend and effect wheels.  and my favorite feature is to be able to transpose the bottom octave of the keyboard down an octave so that you can play bass and solo parts on a 4 octave board.  Its a very complex device and very useful as well.  The Systemizer and Navigator were the 2 OB Perf/x devices that did not get a lot of play.  The Cyclone and Drummer and Strummer really stole the show. :-)  Yet the Systemizer and Navigator still have a place in some studios,  however they are all getting harder and harder to find.
I love all five of the OB Perf/x devices.  Really amazing machines. Again, i apologize for such a late reply Nichole.  i did not see your question before.  so sorry.   peace ~William

I still wish someone would create a multi-port Systemizer. With all the
multitimbral devices out there, something that would allow mapping across
multiple ports like the Systemizer would be very useful.
