I can sample some sounds of my Oberheim and make soundfonts and just need a soundfont player, that is able to emulate the voice allocation. A lot of sounds can't be emulated by algorithm¹ or layered samples, but this isn't what I need, not all sounds are using features that can't be sampled. Btw. there are very good emulations for the ARP step sequencer sounds available as proprietary VST or modern external, stand alone synth. Tonight I'll record some sounds of my Oberheim and then try to work with swami to make a soundfont. Theoretically I don't need any virtual synth, but because on my computer there's too much MIDI jitter for external equipment, but no MIDI jitter for virtual synth, band-aid should be to sample some of my synth. Might become funny for long vector synthesis sounds, that I'll also sample. I guess I have to spend 20,- € to pimp my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB.
