TEO-5 / repeated factory presets?
« Last post by BeeRad on September 05, 2024, 07:37:39 PM »
I have the new editor from Soundtower.  Trying to figure out how to use the librarian.  In my factory banks I have somehow found a few identical presets sprinkled throughout the factory banks.  How could this be?  I though factory banks could NOT be overwritten?  Is there a factory sysex file I could reload to return to the original presets?

OB-X8 / Poly Chain issue - Init Patch / Manual
« Last post by automation on September 04, 2024, 04:01:59 PM »
Hi all,  running into a few quirks with the new Poly Chain function:

OBX8 Keyboard (Master) Poly Chained to OBX8 Desktop,  both running firmware 2.0.0.1

  • When switching Master to an init patch (using either MANUAL + WRITE or switched through Global Menu),  only the Master will change to the Basic Preset, leaving the Poly Chained unit sounding on the last selected preset.
    • Adjustment of knobs/switches edits Basic Preset on Master, and also adjusts the preset still loaded on Poly Chain Unit

  • When switching Master to Manual/Live Panel mode, the Poly Chained unit will remain on last selected preset
    • Master unit switches to Basic Preset and sounds based off current position of knobs/switches 
    • Poly Chained unit remains on last selected patch,  but is immediately modified by current position of Master knobs/switches

  • If any patch is edited on Master,  then original patch recalled by pressing last selected programmer button,  the Poly Chained unit remains edited
    • Seems like the patch re-load command never gets sent to Poly Chained unit

    Has anyone else experienced this? Globals have been cleared,  and both units re-calibrated.   The first two issues seem closely related,  in that the Poly Chained unit fails to switch to Basic Preset.  Otherwise the PolyChain feature works well and is alot of fun.  Would be great if these could get resolved in a future firmware update.

Prophet-5/Prophet-10 / Rev 3 Sys-Ex Patches to Rev 4
« Last post by nunucello on September 04, 2024, 03:29:31 PM »
Has anyone tried loading Rev3 MIDI Sys-Ex patch data into a Rev4 ?

I have lots of customers Rev3 patches and stored the SYs-EX Data within the logic sequence.
When Using my Rev3, the patch would be read and load up in to the Rev 3.

Sequential alerted me that Rev4 will not read Rev3 sys-ex.

I downloaded the Sound Tower librarian demo and it seems to read the Rev3 sys-ex data, but it does not look to be 100% correct.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Hi,

Thanks for the advice.
I'm only on 2.0.0.0 at this point. But I did do all of those necessary steps to get that version installed properly.

Strangely. I tried it again just now (I did turn it off and on again previously though too) and it seems to be working now.

How odd. I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks,

Glad to hear it! If it crops up again, feel free to reach out to support@oberheim.com

OB-X8 / Re: Calibration failure after 2.0 update

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say thanks to this forum and the advice given on this thread.

I did the update fine and all the global resetting etc was fine. But just recently I struggled to get the tune function to get past voice 1.

The workaround with the master volume setting sorted it out.

Nice!

Do I get this right, the calibration failed on using OS 2.0.0.1 and not OS 2.0? This is different from my experience.

Hi. Nope - I was just on 2.0. I haven't gone the extra stage further yet and gone onto 2.0.0.1

My Etherwave is now controlling the Volume and Cutoff of my Pro 3 ala Mezerg. Had the Subsequent 37 like him, but now using the Pro 3. Mapquest Directions
Controlling the Pro 3 with the Etherwave must add a whole new dimension to your sound—cool to see you taking inspiration from Mezerg and adapting it to your gear!

Pro 3 / Re: Is anyone using the soundtower VST/Librarian today in 2024?

hey there,

I just recently got a Pro-3 and have seen a lot of past comments on the Soundtower apps/plugins not being super stable/work that well. Is this still the case today?

I have tried the demo version of the librarian and Flappy Bird it lets me send and open presets but thats about it :-) Which makes it completely useless to actually see if it works or not fully. It would have been better to just make it work for 30 minutes or something...

Does the VST plugin work ok with Ableton? I see a few free M4L devices for Ableton that can send the NPRN values to the device and they can be automated but I just wanted to see if the VST from soundtower would do that as well as allow me to save and name presets? I think thats one of the worst things about the synth UI is how terrible it is to put in names for presets with menu scrolling. Would be nice to have a random name generator on it like the muse or other synths that seem to use the same microcontroller platform as the Pro-3 for their main OS.
The Soundtower apps/plugins still have mixed reviews, with some users finding them unstable. If you're considering the VST plugin for Ableton, it can work, but it's hit or miss depending on your setup. The free M4L devices might be more reliable for automation and NPRN control. For preset naming, the VST should help, but it’s not perfect—exploring other options might be worthwhile if that’s a key concern.

OB-6 / one of the 6 voices of the osc2 sounds different
« Last post by lorensito on September 03, 2024, 08:47:22 PM »
Hello everone, i have a bizarre problem on my OB 6... >:(

When i init patch, one of the 6 voices of the osc2 sounds different from the 5 others (like more clear, more opened filter) . My firmware is 1.8 I don't know if change to the previous version can change anything at this problem or if it's a hardware default...it's yet another problem, in any case thank you for your help ;-)

OB-6 / Re: my ob 6 does not finish its recalibration
« Last post by lorensito on September 03, 2024, 08:34:36 PM »
THANKS! I just let it cool completely and after doing a MANUAL+3 and resetting the osc, everything is back to normal. On the other hand, one of the 6 voices of the osc2 sounds different from the 5 others but I already had that before. I don't know if the previous version changed anything for this problem or if it's a hardware fault...it's yet another problem, in any case thank you for your help ;-)
