Caevan O’Shite Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Sounds reasonable, as FZ did in fact use an envelope filter of some kind on a number of recordings.

coyote Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Zappa did use this unit on many tracks. The first one that leaps to mind is the solo om 'Stinkfoot' from the Apostrophe album. I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist. This ain't no track meet; this is football.

Mark Zeger Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Is this what you have? http://www.tonefrenzy.com/oberheim_v_c_filter.htm If you're unfamiliar with Oberheim, they were a major, very innovative synth company in the late '70s and '80s. Many of their synths are highly sought after today. I would LOVE to have a Oberheim 4 Voice! The Oberheim OB-8/OBx is what you hear all over Van Halen's "1984" (ex. "Jump" and "I'll Wait") and many Rush albums (ex. "Subdivisions"). Basically, the box you have seems like a stripped down filter section from an Oberheim SEM synth. It's value could be all over the place. Someone, somewhere, could see this thing on eBay and overpay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
