Von wrote:The Doktor was an Oberheim DMX by the time we made the first album. The Oberheim had a (relatively) huge memory, it would synchronise accurately to tape via FSK and the memory could be backed up reliably onto cassette. Each drum was tunable (inside), and Oberheim offered a few alternative sounds. Events could be programmed to happen around the beat, not just on it. The DMX would flam happily. We liked the Oberheim better than the LinnDrum, which was more expensive and sounded too sterile. The DMX kicks were a bit flabby, and the snare was maybe not quite tight enough; the tom-toms were good.
And a new age was dawning: soon it became possible to send the DMX back to the factory and have ... midi! put on it.

But it can't throw a TV out of a hotel window or choke on its own vomit.

Not so sure about that. I reckon a slurry of lager and roasted peanuts would play havoc with its sliders.

Does it have the facility to die in a bizarre gardening accident?
