Next firmware update?
« on: May 20, 2024, 07:58:18 PM »
It's been almost a year since the last firmware update. I'm wondering if a new one will ever be published to correct the bug where the Page 2 Aftertouch Amount parameter is not working when LFO mode is set to OB-8, and still sends the maximum amount? It works okay when LFO mode is set to OB-X/Xa.

Yes, true.
Besides the bugs it should be nice to have the arp bpm shown and the clock divider feature.

Some thoughts,
  • Unless I am missing something the modulation paddle is normally only effective in one direction. When the modulation paddle is pulled downward it proportionally engages modulation. It doesn't seem to have a function when pulled up.

    Can we give it a purpose? Perhaps in Page 2, give settings for what get changed and range. Options like filter modulation, filter amount, OSC2 pitch, macros?

    I would like the option for non-quantized oscillator pitch settings, combined with allowing for specific tuning chances to be save with the patch. When using cross modulation, the pitch can drift considerably. Essentially allowing for a patch that sounds great, but is hopelessly out of tune to be made usable.

    Split and Double modes could benefit from allowing a different base tuning for the constituent patches.

    I have one problem when I play... I run into the Transpose Up button causing a jarring change in pitch. A way to optionally lock them, or a mode requiring two click to engage the change would be helpful. Otherwise, I'm going to have to become a better player ;)

    I love my OBX8!

I been asking this from the beginning.

The Envelopes are digital, so please (respectfully) add in page two a delay parameter and a loop (on or off) for each envelop.  It would really expand the sound design possibly to the next level.

Yes, the mod paddle is just working in one way. The other side is totally lost. So, they could add it as a mod source for a selectable destination
