OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hello,

While testing sysex on my 'new' Matrix 6R, i found some strange thing:
In Quick Edit mode, when trying to send a value for parameter #100 (max allowed number is supposedly 99), the display shows some message...

For those who want to try, the sysex is:
F0 10 06 06 64 00 F7

I have uploaded a picture in the Photos section (album Misc).
You can see is looks like 'AlanSm7=QPOff'.
Probably the name of some Matrix 6 R developper.

Someone knows the full story behind this ?

P.S.: I have also tried the parameter 101, display shows a bunch of @ then the Matrix is locked... Needed to reboot while pressing the Yes button. I think i will stop experiment at this point before it gets worse ;)

There's a couple of inside jokes in there!

There was a patch in the Xpander called B Farts......  It sounded  
about like what you are imagining!

There's an organ patch in the M6R called Bert's B.  Bert was a very  
cool Oberheim Exec who wrote most of the later manuals.  Twas a fun  
bunch of people working there in the mid 80's.
