"The OB-Xa is a polyphonic Synthesizer with up to eight voices. Each voice inside the OB-Xa is a complete synthesizer, with two Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), two Voltage Controlled Filters (VCFs),a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA), and two Envelope Generators.

The voices are arranged in two groups of four voices each, refered to as the Upper Voices and Lower Voices, respectively. Each group of voices gets control signals from its own associated control cirtcitry, which also contains the Low Frequency Oscillator for each group. There is a control circuit for the Upper Voices, and a second for the Lower Voices. Both control circuits are controlled by the OC-Xa's onboard computer.

It is a computer that looks at the keyboard and the front panel controls, and then communicates the appropriate information to the control circuits and to the voices themselves.

This particular unit has a MIDI kit installed. (see pictures)

This particular unit is missing one CM 3340. (see pictures)

The voices need tuning.

The keyboard assembly needs cleaning. (Some keys cut in and out)

RMS No.8 - A Self Generating Patch (a.k.a. The Clangers vs R2-D2)

RMS No.8 - A Self Generating Patch (a.k.a. The Clangers vs R2-D2) from Random Modular Snippets on Vimeo.

"Featuring:- various Doepfer modules.
This is a simple self generating patch. Sounds a bit like R2-D2 and The Clangers having a laser battle. I'm not sure who wins, hope it's The Clangers though."

Dubspot First Look: The Propellerhead PX7 FM Synthesizer In Reason 6.5

Dubspot First Look: The Propellerhead PX7 FM Synthesizer In Reason 6.5 w/ Chris Petti
Published on Jan 3, 2013 DubSpot·384 videos

"More info: http://bit.ly/S6YtYw
Recently Propellerhead approached me about designing some sounds for a new FM synthesizer in Reason. As you may recall from some of my previous video tutorials, I showed you how to create an FM synth out of several Thors and a Combinator. The purpose was to demonstrate how to get some of the more modern, edgy FM sounds that we associate with dubstep and electro.

Although my method for creating FM sounds this way worked, Propellerhead have made this easier now with a new FM synthesizer engine, the PX7, now available as a Rack Extension for Reason 6.5. The PX7 is a true six-operator FM synth with some dazzling math behind it, resulting in a replica of the Yamaha DX7, the first commercially available FM synth from the early 1980s."
