Nope. They were direct lifts from the code in the XK. Especially the
Systemizer -- it was basically an XK without the keys and less memory slots.

Damned powerful tools when you get them sussed.

It's an arppegiator but will do a lot of other stuff. It can make a MIDI
keyboard work like the modern ones that you can hold down one key and it
plays the bass and an accompaniment.

It is very tough to program as you only have TWO characters in the window.
You have to have the manual to know what the two characters stand for.

I had one and found it too challenging and time consuming to use. A serious
music geek with lots of spare time could make it do a lot of interesting
stuff!

I think Oberheim hired one of the guys from Sequential Circuits and he or
they designed the series that was the PROformance-I believe it was called.
This is only my theory. The boxes had a lot of SC ideas in them.

FWIW
