OB-Xd - Virtual Analog Synthesizer

From the READ ME file:
"Make OB-Xd folder in your Documents location.
Put Skins / Blue / main.png file to Documents / OB-Xd / main.png.
Classic skin: Put Skins / Classic folder to Documents / OB-Xd / Classic."

Post

Mmh... what happens when you also remove the main.png, and have only the Totolitoto skin folder in the Documents/OB-Xd folder?

Post

You have to create a "Classic" folder otherwise the main.png of the classic skin (my skin) is applied to the normal skin
Dunno what happens if you remove the main.png, but it shouldn't be a problem as long as the Classic folder is there

If you remove both the folder and the Main.png, then OB-Xd works with the original (grey) skin. To have the Classic skin working, you must have JUST the Classic folder inside the OB-Xd folder, with all the elements belonging to it inside (not the Main.png outside - that has to go)

I had.. but I'm terribly impatient at the moment, so I stopped watching halfway after the main.png was copied to the documents/ob-xd folder... :dog:

Now it works. :)

Ok cheers :)

Would be nice if somebody could make/show exact skin change instructions for the Win OS as well? The info inside the package doesn't work here for updated Win10.

Post

Basically: Create a new folder in your Documents folder, named "OB-Xd". Copy the "main.png" from the plugin folder, under /Skins/Blue to the new folder, and also copy the folder of the desired skin to the new folder. That should work, it works here on Windows 10.

Thanks chk071. Maybe I should've added that I have already tried all these target folder options:

But...I finally got it working. It seems here on my PC the skin files/folders must go under This PC/Documents/OB-Xd. Oh, and Totolitotos skin is a beauty, thanks for that.

Oh, yeah, might be a user account depending thing. E.g., if you run your DAW as an admin user, and you're logged on with a normal user account, the skins should go into the admin users Documents folder, as the plugin will read them from there then, when you run the DAW as an admin user.

Post

Yes, different accounts may make a difference too....maybe the devs could elaborate on that? At any rate, I never run any normal software as an admin user, only some security related stuff occasionally.

Post

OB-XD can be run without any admin permissions ;)

Before discoDSP took the helm with OB-Xd's development, I've been privately tinkering with skinning the Classic mode of OB-Xd, and decided to try my hand at creating a skin inspired by the Oberheim SEM, Two-Voice, Four-Voice and Eight-Voice synthesizers, right down to the slide switches (courtesy of G200KG's Knobman Gallery):

Feel free to make any modifications to the skin as you see fit.

Wow that's awesome thanks ! I could look at that all day with no eye strain. :tu:
