Oberheim DS-2


No title link just the two shots and details pulled via this auction.

"The unit I have is the DS-2 , the DS-2a came out later and just added memory. This is for the DS-2 only. The unit is in great shape but has one switch broken on it, it still can be switched but the plastic toggle has broken off. other than that it looks great. You may nave never seen one for sale on ebay before. here is your chance to own some history with this rare unit. DS-2 & DS-2a The DS-2A Digital Sequencer stores melodici rhythmic sequences. which are played on the synthesizer keyboard, in its memory and plays them back automatically Sequences as long as 144 notes can be recorded and then played back at tempos up to 16 times faster or slower than load tempo. The moment you finish loading playback is instantaneous. The DS-2A provides for different combinations of number of different sequences which can be stored and length of each sequence. You can load: One sequence of up to 144 notes; or one sequence of up to 96 notes. and one sequence of up to 48 notes; or three sequences with up to 48 notes each. Each note in a sequence can have a duration of about l/20 of a second up to eight seconds. Keyboards with up to 61 notes can be accommodated. In addition, a digital display is supplied which tells you the sequence number and note number at all times. You can transpose with the DS-2A as well. Three separate transposition altetnatives. in addition to the original load key, are available, using potentiometers which you can set and forget. or change during play, over a four octave range. The DS-2A has a single step feature which increases its flexibility. In the single step mode one note in a sequence can be loaded or played back at a time. The unit is compatible with Oberheim, Arp, or Moog synthesizers. Dimensions are: 17" wide, 11" high, 11" deep. Weight is 6 Ibs."
