Xpantastic ! - New Oberheim XPander Group

It's XPantastic! Like the name? : ) Title link takes you to the new Yahoo! Group. If you have an XPander or Matrix-12 or are interested in them, feel free to join. I have no affiliation with the list. I just know the old Xpansions list seems to have dissapeared and somone created this one. BTW, if you know what happened to the Xpansions list, please comment. I think I'm subbed to it, but I'm no longer sure. : ) I haven't received an email in probably over a year, so... Not sure if I unsubbed and forgot or if it just died.

  1. Anyone remember the poor, overshadowed OBXpander that looked like an OBXa without a keyboard?

  2. Hi reed,
    It is not a 'OBXpander', it is THE Oberheim Xpander to Oberheim Matrix 12. Other Matrixes where Matrix 6 and Matrix 1000. 12 voices, 6 voices and 6 voices without keyboard, but in 19" rack.
    Last Xpander series made, was made in Japan, by Hammond Suzuki. If ANYBODY want to win a cookie, send me a link to the guy who sells the service manual to a japanese Oberheim Xpander. Not even Tom Oberheim has it. (do not ever let japaneese factorys buy whole brands of western quality stuff!)
    Send link to larsahlstrom56@gmail.com if you have the servicemanual. Key part: The power supply unit (PSU) has a PWM-controller (IC) its name is MB3759. If thats the case... Then it is a japaneese Xpander!
