Title: Adjust both layers simultaneously in Double mode?
Post by: JimDaneker on August 15, 2022, 08:37:25 PM: Hey Guys,

Just a few hours into my X8, and I'm having trouble picking my jaw up off the floor - what a monster!

One question I can't seem to figure out, and the manual doesn't really cover: is there no way to have the panel control *both* layers simultaneously? I'd love to be able to automate changes on the fly while recording, but as far as I can tell, the panel will only control the upper or lower layer, but not both at once.

Hopefully I've just missed something dumb, but if not, it sure would be great to have that added in an update!

Thanks much - back to drooling ;-)

That would be a huge improvement - thanks much! Already hearing a lot of other users saying the same thing, so it would make a lot of people happy ;-)

This would be particularly useful for live performance modulation of LLLLRRRR stereo stacks.

There are many other great synths and software if one wants something else, but please, let the OB-X8 be the blast from the past as it is.
