Re: input/output within old oberheim vs. new

[Kim Flint <kflint@loopers-delight.com>]

New units have a limiter on the loop input, old units do not. If you have 
the level turned up to where the new one is engaging the limiter, it would 
end up sounding lower in volume (and probably compressed) in relation to 
the other unit. The other unit is probably slightly clipping, however. 
(that is why the limiter is there.) Try turning input vol down on both.

or, if you like playing with the ohm meter, check the volume 
potentiometers, maybe they are different for some reason.
