Marion Systems • MSR-2

The Marion MSR-2 was designed by Tom Oberheim and so it is known for having the 'Oberheim sound' packaged inside a compact single-space rackmount module with modern digital reliability and MIDI implementation. Despite its rather harmless and simple appearance, the MSR-2 allows for some fairly complex but intuitive programming. The filters, envelopes, LFOs and other parameters are very analog-like in their sound and editing methods. The module is also 16-part multitimbral. And external inputs route a signal through the envelope and filter sections. The MSR-2 is rare but definitely worth checking out.

I got one and what a pleasant surprise. It got all the fat pads Oberheim is famous for. Real fat analogue sounding. But this is not a beginner synth because it can be hard to program. You got to understand how a synth works. The menu system is difficult and confusing. It's almost impossible to get a manual. I sat two hours to get it right. Glad I'm a experienced synth programmer. But it's worth the time. A superb synth!
