"This is the most unique Oberheim Xpander you will ever see and it has quite the history. Yes it is the USA version (the best version) don’t worry.

It was previously owned by Nyle Steiner. Who is that you may ask? We he is a genius inventor who created the EVI / EWI the electronic wind instrument which was later sold to Akai. With that said, Nyle did do some modifications on this Xpander, which I have no idea everything he did. What I could see was that he wired each oscillator to have their own individual 1/4” output which is why there are 6 holes that were cut out the back. I removed this wiring but the holes remained."

Bad Gear - Why did they do this???


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-h*ted audio tools. In a time before Volcas, the Clone Wars and Moog becoming just another specimen in InMusic’s butterfly collection the granddaddy of synth brands brought an instrument to the market that can be considered the blueprint for the music tech landscape to come.

Today we are going to talk about Minitaur. This 2012 analog mono synth and domesticated modern take on the iconic Taurus bass foot pedals of 70s prog rock fame not only comes with the pitch range of a Bob Dylan harmonica solo, it will also keep you glued to your computer screen like their CPU-munching Mariana plugin. Why did they do this?
