Title: Oberheim OB-5?
Post by: Mr_You on May 05, 2023, 09:51:44 AM: Please make a compact and affordable Oberheim "OB-5" based on the Take 5 design.

It's my next synth purchase. ;D

Thank you!

Sequential-Oberheim you can do it! :D
Title: Why aren't DSI desktops also designed to fit in a rack?
Post by: GeorgeAgelo on February 20, 2024, 06:58:30 PM: As a proud owner of a DSI desktop synthesizer, I have often found myself wondering why these compact and powerful instruments are not designed to easily fit into a standard rack setup. While the desktop format is perfect for saving space and portability, it can be a bit cumbersome to incorporate them into a larger studio rig without additional accessories or modifications.

I agree, and have a thread on exactly this topic here:

Post by: strytten on February 21, 2024, 08:58:50 AM: Personally, I like the wider size of the desktops, even though they won’t fit in a standard rack. If the desktops were made narrower to fit in a rack, they would be much harder to operate. As an alternative, might it be possible to create a custom rack that is wide enough to hold the current desktops, that would be the best of all worlds.
