Updates to the Worlds First Programmable Synth Post

I made some updates to the post after hearing back from Dave Smith. It's only a post away below, but I wanted to make sure no one missed it, so I'm putting up this post to let you know. I also forwarded the link to Tom Oberheim. I'll post back if any updates come from him. Please note the post kind of happened by accident and usually you shoud do your research first. :) What happens in the blog world, and definitely my world, is you post something and new info comes in, so what started as something simple can grow fairly quickly. Fortunately this is not print and edits can be made. Fortunately there's nothing too dramatic here, just minor points of clarity.

  1. vintagesynth.com has this to say about the Oberheim OB-1

    The OB-1 is a simple and great monophonic synth from Oberheim based on the same synth architecture as the SEM. Released in 1978, it was the first truly programmable analog synth of it's time with 8 program memories.
