The #oberheim DX #drum machine is a snazzy drum machine from 1982, i snapped up an untested one on ebay for 200 quid. and it felt ripe to be modified and upgraded. I guess i would go as far to say this has been circuit bent!

@@juliancheal Ethernet based standards are coming along, they've always been there but companies did that thing where they would gimp and patent the protocol, you know, like XBOX HA HA HAAAA anyhow, check out newer networked systems. To solve this problem, we could use modern parts to multiplex MIDI lines ourselves with less latencies than ganging the old gear the old way. We go this far, just build the part you want from here on out. I could make a multiplexed interface of my own and all my instruments will now have a two or three outlet midi fixture into the one and each one has a control system amongst systems - they don't even have to be connected to each other as long as we're using solid clocks on everything and syncing up before each tune. Wireless has gotten great, too. 60GHz technolologies mainly depend on multipath reflections inside buildings where most are working hard to eliminate them. :-)

You think Tom Oberheim are waiting this kid to put value on his Gear ? Nobody serious in the game make a midification of a DX ... If you buy a DX to use it by midi control with a beatstep séquencer, so thats the proof you absolutely dont know nothing about Why people use old beat machines ... We use old beat machine to avoid the horrible midi offset latency by using analog clock on the 12beat séquencer ... Almost a lot of people are so deaf to feel it

Aye mate, nobody in their right mind would judge you for modifying your Drummachine. Its not like a ton of people did it back in the days, hard-modding their Synths, Drummachines etc with new EPROMs, Voltagemods etc. There was no "You cant modify our product we sold you" issue back then like you have today with (f)Apple and the likes. Its great to see someone taking their toys serious and upgrading them to their needs. It helps preserving the tool, as you wouldnt really use it if you wouldnt adapt it because it wouldnt be able to serve its purpose then

Never have done the midi upgrade on my DX but I need to sequencing it with my Digitakt or OP-Z could get pretty mad.
