Installing or Building OB-Xf
Installing OB-Xf
Section titled “Installing OB-Xf”It is as easy as downloading the installer from the product page and running it!

The distribution package is built on Ubuntu 22.04. A list of required packages is listed in the source code and in the .deb itself.
Standalone
Section titled “Standalone”If you are running OB-Xf as a standalone application, we would like to divert your attention to the Options menu in the top-left corner, which provides:
- Audio/MIDI Settings in order to specify audio device, sample rate, MIDI input(s) and audio output(s) to be used
- Save and load state of the synthesizer (also known as “presets” or “patches”, although OB-Xf provides its own patch management, which is recommended to be used instead)
- Reset OB-Xf to the default state (reinstantiates the whole synthesizer)
Building from Source Code
