buchla has sort of disowned this unit, thoughone historical point is that the ob-mx is, at present, the last synthesizer designed by don buchlathe ob-mx was one of the few real analog synths, however, available with completely modern featuresthey don't manage to emulate either the 2-pole oberheim or 4-pole moog filters in fact they sound notoriously thin and tweezyout 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 filterscasing has some very minor markingsthe so-called 'oberheim filter' provides 12 db/oct low, band or hi pass filtering, with resonancein quality condition for its age! the obmx is a modern synthesizer module with an audio path that is entirely analogthe obmx claims to deliver the classic oberheim and minimoog sounds while being completely programmable and midi compatiblethe ob-mx is highly user upgradeableunfortunately, 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 featuresit has an intuitive and powerful interface which makes it easy for anyone to program their own unique soundsgreat shape, front panel spotlessit has been used by nine inch nails, sneaker pimps, apollo 440, dj spinna, and u2its filters are actually pretty badup to 6 of these cards can be easily installed sufficiently adding to the phattness of this synth and its capabilitiesand the 'minimoog filter' uses a meatier 24 db/oct low-pass filter
