UTILIZATION

Don Buchla involved the design found the logic a button / function (32 pots and 47 buttons!) Making it an enjoyable program synth. Inasmuch as the same era there were only a JD 800 Roland.
Nanmoins the buttons are not notched, no guts to feel neutral .... Premire version and have not even caught himself in white net.

SOUNDS

... Don Buchla he also HRIT dimension "modular". Matrix source / destination complte enough to DLIR delicious and original Creations.

* Overall the sound is rich, warm, feed
* The filter looks like but gives MOOG sounds less "dynamic" that the real
* The filter looks like, but HE has made a less crude and acid
* The attack envelope is not as fast as one could wish for ...

OVERALL OPINION

When we entered the market yet the era tions of "numrique". The return of the analog s'amorait sentence. There was still the Matrix 1000 and SE-1 that could belong prtendrent the Analog Class. In this context the OB-MX silent a kind of UFO.
Are taken elsewhere to be silent something / The base rack with only two voices stood at CHF 22 500, expansion card 2 Voices silent pice of 7000 Frs, which makes us Full Voice ... 12 57 000 francs! New analos today like Voyager and Andromeda are not ashamed of their prices.

It is noted that the machine is rput for its lack of reliability and its many bugs. If you want to buy one make sure to purchase the OS2. It is recognizable because the buttons have a white net to recognize their position. And ignition of the No OS is indicated on the screen. OS Version 1 is too unreliable and trs buggy.

Overall the machine is interesting, sounds good, 6 Voices are less defined Necessary for making the most of what we can do.

In the context of 2006, the market volumes and I do not know if this type of machine is still interesting anyway (my opinion). Version 2 Voice sells for around 650. It gives me silent prfiguration of what Andromeda today.
... But it's a synth that has the boot and which can still fall in love
