OBERHEIM STRUMMER

via this auction
"THE FOLLOWING IS QUOTED DIRECTLY FROM PAGE 2 OF THE OWNERS MANUAL

The Strummer by Oberheim was the first of the new generation of the Oberheim Perf/X, “Performance Expansion” MIDI modules.

The Strummer takes MIDI notes and chords that are played on a keyboard and changes them into the way they would be played on a guitar. You have control over all settings. You set strum rate and direction, lead enhancement, chord voicing, and arpeggiation patterns and 28 other parameters.

The Strummer has 96 presets including 64 permanently in ROM from the factory and 32 user presets in RAM for your custom programs.

The Strummer can record short phrases of “riffs” and play them back when triggered from the keyboard. You select a “trigger key”, play the riff and then press stop. If you press the “trigger key” again at the end, the riff is looped and starts vamping (repeating) until stop is pressed. These “riffs” are stored globally and can be used at any time from any preset!

The Strummer has dynamic MID control over a number of its parameters. Strum speed can be varied by velocity as can the number of notes used in a chord. You can even program chords “on the fly” using “Chord Capture”. Once a chord is ‘captured’ it is held globally until a new one is captured.

The Strummer fully supports System Exclusive allowing external storage and remote editing of Strummer programs."
