RE: [vintagesynthrepair] Making a OBXa with a missing voice card play

2007-03-19 by SynthX SynthX

There is a switch to turn of one voice or several. Open the synth look to 
the left of the front panel PCB and there it is (A 8 pin DIL/DIP switch). In 
otherwords you can run it in any number of voices you wish.

Best regards,
Syn
