Global

Global

The Global section contains parameters that affect the entire synthesizer.

Poly

This value sets the maximum number of voices that can be played simultaneously, from 1 to 32.

Unison

Enables the layering of multiple voices per note. The number of voices is set by the Voices parameter.

Voices

This value controls the number of voices played per note, from 1 to 32.

• Only enabled when Unison is switched on.
• Higher values create a thicker sound by playing more voices simultaneously, but will reduce resulting polyphony.

Detune

Adjusts the amount of pitch variation between voices from 0 to 100 cents.

• When Unison is disabled, increasing this control adds imperfection in the tuning between notes, better representing an OB-X that is not perfectly (or desperatly needs to be!) calibrated.
• When Unison is enabled, increasing this control creates a thicker, more detuned sound.

HQ

Enables 2x oversampling of the whole voice structure. This improves audio quality at the cost of increased CPU usage.

Glide

Sets the duration it takes for the pitch to slide from one note to another. TODO: CONFIRM MAX TIME

• The pitch sliding approximatively follows a logarithmic curve which lasts up to ??? seconds.
• This value can be set to vary per voice with its associated control in the Voice Variation section.

Env Legato

Sets which envelopes are going to continue from their current position (i.e. they will NOT be retriggered) when playing legato (overlapping) notes:

• Both (Both Envelopes): Both envelopes will continue.
• Filter (Filter Envelope Only): Only the Filter Envelope will continue, Amp envelope will retrigger.
• Amp (Amplifier Envelope Only): Only the Amp Envelope is will continue, Filter envelope will retrigger.
• Retrig (Always Retrigger): Both envelopes are retriggered.

Note Priority

Sets which note is prioritized when the maximum number of voices is reached:

• Last: The most recently played note is prioritized.
• Low: The lowest note is prioritized.
• High: The highest note is prioritized.

Learn

Enables MIDI learn mode. When enabled, clicking on a parameter will focus it for receiving a MIDI CC message. Once you tweak your wanted MIDI controller, you can click on another parameter to repeat the procedure. If you want to remove an assignment, click the X button to the left of the MIDI CC number shown.

Menu

This button opens a menu with the following options:

File

• Initialize Patch: Resets the synthesizer to its default state.
• Import Patch: Opens a file dialog to import a patch from a .fxp file.
• Import Bank: Opens a file dialog to import a bank of patches from a .fxb file.
• Export Patch: Opens a file dialog to export the current patch to a .fxp file.
• Export Bank: Opens a file dialog to export the current bank of patches to a .fxb file.
• Copy Patch: Copies the current patch to the clipboard.
• Paste Patch: Pastes a patch from the clipboard to the synthesizer.
• Open User Directory: Opens the user directory where patches, banks and themes are stored.

MIDI Mapping

• Clear MIDI Mapping: Clears all MIDI CC assignments.
• Save MIDI Mapping…: Stores the current MIDI CC assignments to a file for later recall.

Themes

This submenu contains a list of all available Factory and User themes. User themes can be added to the user directory (see Open User Directory above).

Zoom

This submenu contains options to adjust the zoom level of the interface, from 75% to 400%. Some zoom settings may not be available depending on your screen resolution.
