HI, I wanted to share this new Oberheim Ob-1 upgrade.. it is pretty incredible.. for those that have OB-1's you know frustrating the programmer and patch section is.. you can write a patch, but once written it can be edited again and there are only 8 patches.. Bob Grieb designed a new drop in programmer pcb that is a drop in replacement and really makes the OB-1 amazingly modern..I have this update in multiple OB-1's and it is very cool. Info is here http://www.tauntek.com/OB1.htm and here are the features:
1 ) 64 programs in 8 banks of 8
2 ) Programs are stored in non-volatile EEPROM. No battery needed.
3 ) After a program is loaded, only controls that have moved are "live", so patch editing is now possible.
4 ) Manual mode forces all controls to be "live".
5 ) Optional (non-volatile setting) periodic flash of current bank selection
6 ) Optional (non-volatile setting) quantization of coarse freq for oscillator 1 to octaves
7 ) Comes with 24 pre-programmed patches, which can be over-written later if you chose
8 ) Smaller pcb mounts on four of the existing standoffs, providing better access to pcb underneath
9 ) Implemented connectors are the same as original programmer for easy installation
10 ) All IC's are socketed. All components are through-hole.
11 ) 20-turn trimpot for easier one-time oscillator tuning adjustment
