"You don't see these too often. Here's a beautiful specimen of Oberheim's last great analog polysynth (we'll let Oberheim off the hook and not count the OB-Mx disaster). It's in great condition, both functionally and cosmetically. This is the US version of the synth. In case you haven't read obsessively about this synth, Oberheim manufactured it for a time in the US but then moved production to Japan in an attempt to save costs. The Japanese versions of this synth are prone to problems, particularly with the power supply. Not so with the original US models, which were made to higher quality specs.Everything works great on this. This synth is an absolute joy to play, and I hate to part with it. I've owned a Matrix 6 (several times) and hated wading through all the menus. The Matrix 12 is altogether different. With the large display and all the knobs, it's easy to pop around and adjust settings. And this synth is so flexible! The degree to which you can adjust the routings is amazing! It's just short of having a modular synth. This was truly ahead of its time."
