Oberheim Stretch (thing)

An expansion for the Oberheim DX drum machine.
Produced around the mid-80s.

The Stretch adds 4 voices to the DX raising the polyphony to 10, and an extra slot for ride cymbal / bell ROMs.

List of additions from the original ad:

• MIDI Clock Output
• Punch out/in
• Auto-Start
• Programmable Click
• Record Countdown on/off
• Cue Tempo
• Drum Output enable/disable
• Variable Clock (24/48/96 pulses per quarter note)
• Selective uploading allows tape compilations

The name "Stretch" comes from the way the expansion unit is connected to the left side of the DX.
