Oberheim DX with Electrongate MIDI Upgrade

via this auction
"Details on the midi:
'This upgrade adds MIDI input and output capability and additional clocking options to your DX. When installed, your DX will send and receive MIDI note-on/note-off messages, system exclusive sequence dump messages and MIDI clock, song select, start and stop messages. MIDI input and output jacks are added to the right side panel of the DX and a circuit board is installed inside. (The MIDI upgrade can be mounted on top of the sync-to-tape circuit board, if your machine has that option).This interface will make your DX functionally equivalent to the Oberheim DXa'

The DX has 18 sounds, all tuneable, and separate outs for each voice. Can be heard all over classic 80s hip hop and early New Order records."

I actually put a post up on The DMX Files way back in March of 2006. I just added this banner to the MANUFACTURERS section and thought I would put up a post as well.

The DMX Files

Title link takes you to The DMX Files, a site dedicated to the Oberheim DMX drum machine.



I recently had a thread going with Ed of dmxkrew. The conversation lead to the Oberheim DMX drum machine. I have an Oberheim DX and that bass drum kicks. It always fascinated me that the DMX kick did not get the same attention as the 808 or 909. Yes the 808 and 909 are analog, but that solid kick in New Order's Blue Monday was a DMX, and it has one hell of a punch. Ed brought up a good point, you can sample a DMX and pretty much get exactly the same sound out, but an 808 or 908 just doesn't come out the same.
