These pictures are of a customized Oberheim 4 voice system built for Ronnie Montrose.
Gary Hull assembled and wired the 4 voice for Ronnie. I am told that Ronnie would use foot switches to toggle
thru the sequencer steps while soloing over the top of it. Ronnie Montrose used this synthesizer with the band Gamma.
