Re: Oberheim Now Distributed in US by Armadillo

Whoa.  35 sounds like a huge number --  overkill, almost -- I wonder if 
this includes tech support engineers?  :)

I believe a mockup of the OB12 was showing at the Frankfurt Messe -- the 
appearance was quite classy, and different from the Matrix series, from 
what I can recall of an even half a year ago...

The real question is:  will we get an EDP with a different color front 
panel? :)  
Now I'm really really regretting missing out on the group buy...
