Re: [xpantastic] Re: Matrix-12 ROM version changes

That is the version D board. The 1.6 doesn't add anything. I wouldn't change it unless you are having problems. I could send the files to the group if anyone wants it. There was also a later main board software that I have files for, at work, but I don't know what the changes are specifically. I know if was supposed to fix some MIdI stuff, but I have never seen any documentation. The place I used to work at in LA bought all of the remaining stock from Oberheim when they closed the N Hollywood location. The place where I work now, National Music Centre in Calgary bought all the OB stuff from MusicTek in LA. I keep finding docs I never saw before...

Thanks for the info John.

Where is the board revision located on the PCB?  My voice boards have "OBERHEIM 1810D" etched on them.  I couldn't find any other useful marks.

From what you are saying can I glean that I have the latest firmware for my voice boards, because the synthesizer would not work properly with Revision 1.6?

I only see the Voice Processor Malfunction message when I disconnect the clock signal from the main board to one of the voice boards.
