RobertLauriston Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 What the heck is this thing? Maybe a custom Oberheim unit? Appears at 2'04" in: I don't recognize this one that Robert Irving is playing, either. Appears at 4'54. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 MIles had an OB8 along with a DX7 for the mid-80's Tutu tour, and kept them on that red stand. They had a bunch of tape on it so he'd know what did what. That could be the same Oberheim - it's the right shape. Bobby used a Poly 6, Jupiter 6 and DX7 in his three-tier rig on the red stands when I was their keyboard tech for the Tutu tour...but I'm not sure what that is. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABECK Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I think there's a funky aspect ratio thing going on. Thats his OB on top and the other pic is a D50. You can tell by the Vector joystick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Hughes Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yeah, it's a D50 with a bunch of white tape on it. The aspect ratio issue makes it look a lot deeper than it actually is. http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/d50.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamanczarek Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The OB8 has a cutout on the wood side panel to access the pan pots. Maybe this is an OBXa?

Al Coda Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The OB8 has a cutout on the wood side panel to access the pan pots. Maybe this is an OBXa? Good eyes ! Panpots cutout were always on the right wood side panel of the synth ! I owned a early one which then got it´s Oberheim MIDI retrofit via a cutout in the left wood side panel which came as a replacement part,- in opposite to later models which already came w/ Din-MIDI - jacks on backpanel from factory. So yes,- OB-Xa. A.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
