Re: Just got a Oberheim OB8, got some questions!
How can you if there are multiple voices on one PCB? The OBX has separate cards for each voice so you could swap them.radek tymecki wrote:yes you can. i own ob8 and owned ob-xahfinn wrote:You can't on an OB-8.radek tymecki wrote:Also. You can switch cards and see if they're really faulty!

Re: Just got a Oberheim OB8, got some questions!
one other observation here i cant seem to figure out... the manual says it has 3 lfo's, but it seems only obvious that there is one on the mod section and one near the bender. if there are 2 in the mod section, how do you change the speed of both seperately???

It's counting the one that is dedicated for Pulse width modulation. Notice it has a seoerate depth knob.

Re: Just got a Oberheim OB8, got some questions!
Yea you must be right sir. Thanks for the reply. In page 2 there are some lfo options like offsetting the phase and lfo envelope, so i guess they count this as 2 lfo's. I wish it worked like 2 seperate rates.hfinn wrote:It's counting the one that is dedicated for Pulse width modulation. Notice it has a seoerate depth knob.

Negative hfinn.. you are correct in that there's two LFOs on the main panel, but one controls voices 1-4 and the other controls voices 5-8. There isn't a separate LFO for PWM as you describe.

Re: Just got a Oberheim OB8, got some questions!
I was just trying to interpret the way the manual wrote it. I don't have one in front of me. So you must have to set it up through page 2?Leeroy Jenkins wrote:Negative hfinn.. you are correct in that there's two LFOs on the main panel, but one controls voices 1-4 and the other controls voices 5-8.
