Welcome to Oldschooldaw.com! (Online since 2014) serving vintage computers worldwide! this is our NEW WEBHOST as we've moved from our OLD GODADDY to a brand new server location to start off 2026. thanks to Godaddy for hosting the site for 11 years and a big thank you to IONOS.COM for the great pricing going forward! this site exists as a resource for historical archival of information + file resources neccessary to make use of vintage computer hardware + vintage music composition software that runs on those old platforms. conceived conceptually by Chris Nova to address the problem of  missing information + missing chronological references caused due to this information slightly predating the creation of the modern internet, much of the information here has been sourced from magazines + books as well as scraped from other websites that have since gone offline and wont be coming back.

PROS
• Sound quality.
• Quality and number of effects.
• Disk drive.
• SMF/GM compatible.
• Can be used as data filer.

CONS
• Poor user interface.
• Over-complicated sequencer.

SUMMARY
A capable synth module with a very large number of quality voices and excellent effects, hampered somewhat by an inelegant user interface and fiddly sequencer. GM and Standard MIDI File compatibility come as useful bonuses which in no way compromise the X3R's standing as a serious synthesizer. On-board disk drive unusual on a module and very convenient.
