Firmware update feature requests/bugs

[The Real MC]

I don't own an OB-X8 but I've seen a video demo where the synth was in layer mode, and you couldn't tweak the filter cutoff of both layers simultaneously, but that was an early firmware revision and Oberheim/Sequential said that they were working on that. Has it been added yet in the later firmware revisions? Anybody know? Thanks.

That's what the rear panel FILTER jack is for.

Arpeggiator doesn't have clock divider when receiving external clock. I would think the Rate dial should be a good solution for this.

Yes! To add to some of the other comments, I would love to see:

- Clock divider on the ARP when using an external clock

- When in double/split, have a MIDI channel for each part

-  Use the screen to show ADSR when editing

- Use the screen to show any parameter value when editing

- allow setting to change sustain pedal to hold versus slow fade style. I like both. Option would be great.

- Would like some other options on the ARP style in general. I love arpeggios and it can feel a bit limited at times.

Most of these have been suggested before. Might be good to add an upvote to the forum.

Keep improving on this amazing machine!

That's already there (but it's a global config); global menu, page 17: "Sustain Pedal Mode"

Unfortunately, OB-X8 doesn't (yet?) have a config for note priority, so it's not as useful as on other synths

I use DOUBLE mode alot - editing UPPER and LOWER simultaneously would be much easier by simply pressing both buttons...

Pressing UNISON with 1 to 8 for the number of voices would be handy
