| This sounds like a real neat box, EXCEPT ...
There's no way to expand the unit. For example, what happens if I
decide that 8 voices aren't enough? I can't just add a Matrix-6 or
Matrix 1000 for spillover, because they're NOT polytimbral. And I
don't want to pay another $1300 for 8 extra voices.
I hope they come up with a mod for the Matrix 1000 that makes it the
functional equivalent of an "OB-8k expander" (no pun intended). 8
voices just aren't enough anymore (IMO).

I need a rack mount version of this baby.
Was there any mention about that?.

| It's called the Matrix 1000. Not polytimbral and only 6 voices. From
what I've heard, this is actually an extension of that box. Current
news is nada on a rackable OB8k.

I've tried the Matrix 1000 and was not really impressed. It
would be nicer if it was multi-timbral and user editable (wo/P.C.),
which sounds like a OB8Kr.

| See the Matrix-1000 note for some contrasting views. Many people
find this box unmatched at the price, its monotimbrality and nonlocal
programmability notwithstanding.

| 1883.6 | monotimbrality ok | NORGE::CHAD | Ich glaube Ich t�te Ich h�tte | Wed Mar 01 1989 21:41 | 7 |

I for one don't think monotimbrality is a major fault (not that I have one
of these boxes). If you need > 1 timbre than buy another box. 5 of these
boxes = ~$2250 = 5 multi and 30 polyphonic (with some restrictions) ~=
price of a good quality multitimbral box.

I'm not knocking monotimbral synths. I'm just not interested
in a f***ing Matrix 1000. I *am* interested in the OB8K and the
availability of a rack mount version. Period.
Isn't this the OB8K topic?.

| I hadda call Oberheim last week to order a manual and asked about the
OB8K. He said they were scheduled to send it out in August, but there seemed
to be delays... He said very little - just gave me fluff about top secrecy.

Any news about this machine yet?
Following in the footsteps of the Yamaha V80 and the Peavey synth so
far....
