Hey all,
I was wondering if anybody might have any recommendations or pointers towards a way to gain a little more familiarity with the type of digital systems typically found in the vintage analog polysynths like the OB-Xa. I don’t usually have much issue troubleshooting the analog sections, but I don’t even know what to call most of the digital parts.
I’m guessing probably a beginning course in digital electronics would be an ok place to start? But what’s next?
Any suggestions for books, videos, whatever are welcome. Thanks!
