In the dark ages of synthesis, before midi, the questions of sequencing and programming had yet to be answered. A feature folks wanted to have but had yet to be invented. Leave it to the big brains at Oberheim to come to our rescue! The DSX was released as part of the proprietary Oberheim Parallel Buss system. This allowed users to connect the OB-8, DMX drum machine, and the DSX allowing for easy control and syncing of synths. In addition to controlling these synths, the DSX features 8 CV and Gate outputs to control up to 8 more other analog synthesizers! The DSX records in realtime the notes and patch changes you create while playing your OB-synth. It can hold up to 6,000 notes! The DSX can store up to 10 different sequences/songs. Each sequence can have 10 polyphonic tracks for multiple OB-synths and DMXs. Patch info including splits and doubles can be stored too. Quantizing, looping, editing, transposing, and sequence merging are a few more features. If you've got any of these classic (pre-MIDI) Oberheim analog OB-synths lying around, the DSX is an easy way to directly control them in a classic way, and without any need for MIDI retro-fits or interfaces. So what do you say? Ready to finish out your sweet synth rig with a touch of master control? Pick this used piece of gear history and we'll ship it out to you safely and swiftly!
