WSG: Sound of different 40106.
Published on Nov 13, 2012 by rpocc
"The goal of this video is to show the difference in sound of the same oscillators built around different models of the same integral circuit. These two particular devices have insignificant differences in schematics, but primary difference is 40106 IC. After shooting this video I've tried both ICs on the same device and got identical results. So don't be confused about different boxes and note the main idea: always try different ICs when you build oscillators. Especially simple like WSG or Atari Punk Console."

"This is a 4 voice OB-X with the Encore Electronics MIDI kit installed and it comes with the owners manual, service manual, and Encore Electronics kit Manual. It will be shipped in a brand new road case.
This OB-X was serviced November 4th 2012 by Riley Smith former tech at Sequential Circuits and E-Mu Systems. He went through the unit completely, replaced the key bushings so it plays great, retuned all the oscillators, and calibrated and tested the unit as specified in the service manual.
More pictures and sound examples of this OB-X here.
CONDITION
This OB-X is in near perfect condition. It has NOT been in a storage unit and shows NO signs of rust
(tip: always look at the rear screws and jack washers for signs of rust on old synths)
It has been in the Mad Science Lab for 16 years and used by the group Silicon Breakdown on many songs. The second photo on this page shows the studio where it’s home has been.
I bought the OB-X from the Starving Musician store in San Jose in 1996. The tag on the back says 8 voice, but it is a 4 voice, I assumed they used the other voice cards to fix other Oberheims. Check out sound examples to see how fat 4 voices can be.
The wood panels and screws and jacks are all original, yet they look almost new. It has never left the studio except to be tuned. The front panel graphics are perfect. The tech mentioned the D key near the word Programmer had been repaired at some point, but the key plays, it is just goes down about 1/8th of inch less then the other keys and feels more squishy then the other keys. It is not visible till you know it's there, and it's not visible in these pictures. I did not know about the key until he tore the keyboard apart to replace the key bushings.
There is one large scratch on the back of the unit near the MIDI jack, which is clearly visible in the pictures.
MIDI
This OB-X has the Encore Electronics MIDI kit installed.
This kit allows for MIDI notes as well as midi control of the filter cutoff, resonance and many other controls. It also increases the patch storage from just 32 to 120. And you can save the presets over MIDI so no more messing with tapes. I had the Kenton MIDI kit initially but the Encore Electronics kit is much better. The Oberheim OB-X never had MIDI when produced, and you do not want to deal with a special sequencer DSX hookup to control an OB-X. You need MIDI so you can control the OB-X from a computer sequencer, or a midi keyboard that has controllers to route to the many MIDI controllers on the OB-X Encore kit."
