I'm looking into selling my Oberheim Echoplex in January. I recently bought it used and am having trouble when recording my second loop - it falls out of sync with my sequencer (EDP is the slave). It works perfectly well as a stand alone looper or as a master when syncing. The feedback knob also doesn't work on the face of the unit, but feedback levels can be controlled with a volume pedal or by a midi message (which is more convienient when controlling during playing).
It has Loop IV installed and full memory.

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

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!!
