Yeah, it's blank in mine too!

I just spent a few minutes looking through the source code Lynx sent  
me, and wasn't able to figure out anything MIDI related. I found the  
structure definitions of the voices, though.

I know Lynx did the software for the voice cards - I think someone  
else did the front panel "master board" software, and the MIDI stuff  
is probably part of that code.

Lynx said he thinks he has some more documentation and notes on the OB- 
Mx, which he'll send to me as he finds it, but it's all buried away in  
a giant storage unit full of all sorts of stuff from many, many  
decades of work.

Sorry, don't know of any. It could really use one though. I think that  
machine has a lot of potential that's rarely been fully explored.
