OBERHEIM SYNTH

Good idea, but unfortunately, Tom didn't have any knowledge of the details…
He did tell  me that the engineer who designed the DSX was a guy named
Marcus Ryle who after he worked at Oberheim helped invent the ADAT and then
later founded the company Line 6.   I tried but couldn't find contact info
for him there – does anyone happen to have an email address for Marcus?

Have you tried asking Tom Oberheim for the secret sauce recipe?
