Yes, thx!
I�ve just read it and there seem to be a few guys talking about something, they don�t have knowledge about.
Fritzman on page 4 / Fri Aug 26 2005 3:31,- one of the last postings b.t.w., he, he, ...
... wants a OBXa because Lyle Mays did great things w/ it on Pat methenys recordings.
Wow ! An expert ! Lyle never played a OBXa and if someone is posting in a thread about a future Xpander/Matrix emulation while being not able to hear the difference of a OBXa, a Xpander/Matrix and more important, the SEM based OB 4-voice Lyle really used �til the end of the 90th (I�ve seen him in a live concert at this time),- this guy is still a blabber.

I find interesting the point that Gibson *should* license the technology
to help everyone get Xpanders cheap.
However, on the other hand, Gibson is doing old Oberheim customers a
service by keeping their synths unique and valuable in the secondary market.
Jeremy.
I�m really not interested in blabbers ( see above) get our beloved original toys cheap in software emulation which possibly will never sound like the original and is just a good looking GUI on the screen which will be cracked in a minute and available in the torrents and I like very much, the original has some value in the vintage gear market up today.
Who want�s a Oberheim emulation should buy the O-PX Pro,- it�s just updated and it�s doing some quite good Xpander like sounds, but not all. In any way, it�s a tool which saves some lifetime for the original because you don�t have to run your Xpander/Matrix 10hrs all day.
Who is satisfied w/ the sparing functionality of a OBX should buy the O-PX version without the SEM like multimode filters.
These emulations don�t replace the originals ( if you have one) but outperform a Matrix-1000 and do everything standard you need in a DAW environment.
It�s all there more or less.
