Subject:Re: oberheim ob5 waterfall??

I wrote to Viscount about the OB-5 vs. the Viscount DB-5. I thought
they might be different versions of the same organ, and I
specifically asked about waterfall keys. According to them...


[[[ "No, they aren't. The Viscount DB5 has to be considered like
the "evoultion" of the previous Obereheim OB5. Even if the cabinet
are exactly the same, there are some remarkable improvements in DB5
like the Waterfall keyboard, the total polyphony and an improved user
interface...Only DB5 is equipped with waterfall keys."

Of course, there may be an upgraded version of the OB-5 out there
with the prerequisite lipless wonders. I've been looking for audio
samples of the Viscount DB-5 on line. No luck as yet.
