buchla has sort of disowned this unit, thoughone historical point is that the ob-mx is, at present, the last synthesizer designed by don buchlaout of the box the ob-mx comes with one two voice expansion card which contains the two oscillators, 4 multistage envelopes, 3 lfo's, and filtersgreat shape, front panel spotlessthey don't manage to emulate either the 2-pole oberheim or 4-pole moog filters in fact they sound notoriously thin and tweezyin quality condition for its age! the obmx is a modern synthesizer module with an audio path that is entirely analogits filters are actually pretty badthe obmx claims to deliver the classic oberheim and minimoog sounds while being completely programmable and midi compatiblethe ob-mx was one of the few real analog synths, however, available with completely modern featuresit has an intuitive and powerful interface which makes it easy for anyone to program their own unique soundsthe ob-mx is highly user upgradeableit has been used by nine inch nails, sneaker pimps, apollo 440, dj spinna, and u2and the 'minimoog filter' uses a meatier 24 db/oct low-pass filterthe so-called 'oberheim filter' provides 12 db/oct low, band or hi pass filtering, with resonanceup to 6 of these cards can be easily installed sufficiently adding to the phattness of this synth and its capabilitiescasing has some very minor markingsunfortunately, the high cost of extra voice cards also made a fully-outfitted ob-mx a very pricey proposition when put up against other more commonly-available digital instruments of its timeand because it comes from oberheim, you can expect great sounds, design, and features
