Re: Oberheim/Gibson?

["Ricky Graham" <rock.guitar.guru@btinternet.com>]

Thanks for all the info guys. Finding it very hard to find an Oberheim EDP 
anywhere here in the UK. If anyone has one for sale, please let me know. I 
have paypal.

Thanks,

Ricky

That's all true but those are more timing differences (when they were 
made).
Any used Oberheim and/or white faced Gibson you find on the market could
potentially have max memory and Loop IV. You just need to find out ahead 
of 
time.

If it doesn't have Loop IV, you can order it yourself. You need to weigh
the costs though and make sure that you're still getting a good deal with
the added OS upgrade cost figured in.

My way of understanding the life of the EDP is this

my original Oberheim  shipped with 4 1mb ram modules for a total of 12 
seconds of loops and loop v3.32

then my gibson white (beige) model .. this has shipped with the memory at 
its maximum amount and mine came with loop v3.5

finally the blackfaces gibsons, this units came with max memory and with 
loop4 pre-installed

at to buying on the used market, i would say if you are thinking of 
getting 
more then one, go for the newer models as there are known synchronisation 
problems between some older obi units and the newer gibsons.

as for syncing between black and white gibsons, that's always been fine 
for 
me.


On a more personal note, I have been having ,as you may have read,  
troubles 
between my units of late...however Iwould very very strongly still endorse 
the unit as the most creative tool I have at my disposal (even more then 
the 
creativity generated by my instrument on its own). There are people on 
this 
list who have worked hard to provide me with this tool and I tip my hat to 
a 
very respectful angle towards them for creating such a musical tool. get 
one...it will change your life!!
