re Arthur's broken overdub problem: My first thought was that you had it in delay mode without realizing, but since you reset the parameters to default, that's not it. You could tell if it is a problem with the footswitch or a front panel button by the LED's on the front panel. If the Overdub LED is red all the time, than overdub is indeed stuck on and one of the switches is a likely culprit. Probably you would have trouble with other switches if that were the case. If the Overdub LED is not red, then you have a different problem. In that case I would suspect that the VCA part has gone bad somehow. That's a likely one actually because the manufacturer of that part recently shipped a whole bunch of faulty components to Oberheim, partly resulting in the most recent production delays. The bad ones were carefully weeded out, so it shouldn't be a problem, but it is possible that a part could be close to the edge and get worse as it ages. It is also possible that corrosion in the socket for the VCA could cause this problem, but it's doubtful in a unit only 3 months old. (I saw that once in a unit that had been in a smoker-inhabited studio for a couple of years) You asked about Wizard electronics...they do contract repair work for many companies in the music industry. I think Oberheim has recently started using them as well. So far as I know they are a competent shop, but I've never dealt with them before. If you send your unit there, point them toward the VCA or the switches.
