OBERHEIM STRUMMER

via this auction

"Keyboard to guitar chord converter."

Plug your controller of choice in the MIDI in and plug the MIDI out into the MIDI in of your synth. The Stummer has a number of guitar-like playing styles that will take whatever you play in and play that out it's MIDI out jack. There are classic guitar strums and some other techniques as well. It's an interesting utility module from the Oberheim Perf series.

Oberheim DX Drum Machine Vintage Extra E-Proms

via this auction
"The sound chips currently contained in this unit consist of the following:
1. Kick position: TR-808 Kick
2. Snare position: Original DX Snare
3. Hi-Hat position: Original DX Hi-hat
4. Toms position: DX Electric Snare (purchased through Electrongate)
5. Cymbals position: DX Handclaps (purchased through Electrongate) (Note: Three blank chips are inserted so that all three triggers for claps give a sound, each with a different clap “pitch.” This is what Electrongate told me I needed to do and it worked perfectly).
6. Perc. Position: Cowbell/Rimshot/Percussion hit

In addition to these chips, the following five extra chips are also included with this DX:
-DX IF0 CRASH
-CRASH DX IF1
-CRASH DX IF2
-CRASH DX IF3
-ELECTRIC GUITAR

This is a non-midi unit but a new midi add-on kit is now available for about $100 through a company called Electrongate. Two GREAT things about this drum machine are the individual output for EACH drum position (see back photo) and the external tuning pots for each drum (they are internal on the DMX if I am not mistaken). I used the individual outputs to great advantage, running each through a separate input on a multi channel effects process (also for sale in a separate auction). This way I could add reverb to the snare, compress the hi-hat, delay the percussion hits, etc., etc"
