OBX-a Preload data needed

OBX-a Preload data needed

2010-02-02 by darke_one666

I have repaired an OBX-a, took me ages but it all works now, only problem is I don't have the factory sounds. The wav file that I found on the net has a drop out and too short leader tone, I tried to fix it wit audio editing software but still throws up and error when loading at the drop out. If anyone has a tape or a copy of the settings chats I'd really appreciate some help. 

As I spent a long time fixing this kybd, I learnt so much, if u have any questions let me know. 

Thanks

Ian

I don't have a patch tape, but you can download a copy of the factory 
patch book here: http://www.electrongate.com/obfiles/index.html

It contains visual representations of the knob and switch settings 
for all the OB-Xa factory patch settings.

OBX-a Preload data needed

I have a wav file I downloaded but haven't tested yet. I believe it's the 32 programme rather than the 120. I don't think there are splits or doubles either. It's called obxa  8bit 22KHz.wav and is 358KB. Is that what you already have?
Do you have a cassete machine that works, I still have the original tapes around, but might have to dig, I've moved twice since I last saw it.
I also have the 32 factory preset chart but not scanned.

Are you in the UK?
