The previous review is quite comprehensive. Let me just correct some inaccuracies.

This is not a but a 5U 6U! I just checked. The black squares (not necessarily very fun) withdrew without any problems.

UTILIZATION

The buttons are not serrated, but personally I prefer (it makes less noise when one turns them ;-): one is analog and I can not see myself having a few notches to fix the settings! Moreover, everything is displayed progressively on the screen ... The white net "to identify" apparently is not a question of versions ... I know who have or are not "famous" nets and there is nothing to the "date" in relation to this aspect of the matter ... Small difference also visible: some are as smooth as the SEM modules, others are very slightly "granites". Let's hope it does not change the sound ;-)

SOUNDS

It is true that Don Buchla to participate: it is even written in black and white on the machine! YES then the sound is there. It's TRUE analog ... What else? Version 2.0 of the OS on the Master board EPROM is generally agreed more stable ... But what about the update of the Voice of EPROM cards or functionalities? And where to find the factory sounds or other?

Answer: http://oberheimx2.blogspot.com/

This blog is a small contribution for all those seeking the "famous" EPROM ... You'll find the Master in version 2, Voices updates, EPROM calibration, etc. ...

OVERALL OPINION

Given the rate at the time, the beast is rare ... Nowadays, the rating seems a bit low. It's always the same problem: the initial price, demand and supply. Still, it is a truly remarkable machine and a set-up that makes him serious! A lot of versions 2 votes are "available" but to be more under the hood, he will have to seek and accept "compare" with offers of other similar machines Oberheim (OB-X, OB-Xa OB-8, Xpander, Matrix-12, 1000) ...
