OBERHEIM OB-Mx

via this auction

"Oberheim OB-Mx (5U rack) configuration 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 voices. Your mileage may vary depending on your needs and your money-portfolios. It is rather rare in general, there are only 2 voices! It is in perfect condition. The cards 2 voices may be sold separately. In 1994 the base was 2 voices in the 3400 Euros and each card was worth more than 1000 Euros!"

  1. This is really a deep synth. Very much a true analog beast, opposed to what some people have said. Yes, it could have been better had Gibson not abandoned it. But it is by far bigger sounding and deeper than most popular analog and virtual analogs out even today. I think most people who have passed it off did not realize that you can move it from Voice Chip ROTATE mode (polyphonic) to a very huge UNISON mode (monophonic). Simply put MONO mode was labeled Chorus or Unison. I'd run to the OBMX before my Minimoog D or MS20. I'm sorta glad not many have one. R. Perez www.liquidzen.org
