Note this has the blue pinstripes. There was an earlier version with gray like the OB-X.
I've heard both that you can and cannot swap OB-SX boards with the OB-Xa. If you know, feel free to comment. The OB-SX was basically a preset OB-Xa with minor editing capabilities. Going left to right you have: Volume (knob), Auto Tune (button), Hold (button), Chord (button), Unison (button), Portamento (knob), LFO Rate (knob), OSC 2 Detune (knob), Filter Frequency (knob), Amp/Filter Attack (knob), Filter Decay (knob), Amplifier Release (knob), Pitch Bend/Mod Lever: OSC 2 Only (Switch), Narrow/Broad (Switch), Up/Down Octave (switch).
No, the SX and Xa voice cards are totally different. The SX cards are smaller size and have 1 less CEM3320 chip.
ReplyDeleteI had one. It did have great sounds, but it got frustrationg that there as so much potential you were unable to edit.
ReplyDeleteYep, what's interesting is that there aren't any knob box mods out there that exploit what it's capable of. Or at least none I've come across over the years. Think I'll ask over on AH.
