Obxd synthesizer

New nightly builds.

https://www.discodsp.net/obxd-nightly/

Fixed XML assert issues. Test and feedback is appreciated!

Just installed the latest nightly build, dated July 1. And I know you said the VST3 version would show which preset is chosen in some "final" update, but I'm not sure which one. This latest one still doesn't show the current preset in use, thought the VST2 version does.

This version didn't seem particularly sluggish in Sonar/Cakewalk by Bandlab, though it came up with a different skin than I remember using for the previous version. But that was easily fixed. And I'm not sure how to assign CC to anything in the synth. Clicking on the "Learn" button lights it up, but clicking on anything I want to control after that does nothing. And there's no indication of what I could control anyway. Again, I'm not sure how you're supposed to assign MIDI CC with this synth; there are no manuals with the nightly versions, and I must have deleted the "stable" version some time ago.

Hello Steve, thanks for the feedback.

The preset issue may be due to being compiled using a prior JUCE 5. I will investigate what's going on.

Regarding MIDI CC, it never worked properly in the plugin version and we are now implementing a MIDI CC table as well as proper MIDI CC Learn for the incoming builds.

Cheers,
George.

Next 2.0 nightly build will get MIDI CC support. Proper MIDI learn/clear will be implemented next.

2.0 MIDI CC table. Nightly build will be available as soon as MIDI learn / clear gets fully implemented.

July 1st build freezes the playhead in Reaper while transport is running and OB-Xd GUI showing, while automating any single OB-Xd parameter.


CC 120 and CC 123 probably shouldn't be used for MIDI mapping of parameters, as these are all-sound-off and all-notes-off (should also probably just respond to them properly as expected).

Can't reproduce that. Do you have more details about it and how to exactly reproduce it? (DAW, OS, plugin type, steps).

Yeah, will change those to another values.

I mentioned Reaper. Latest version, W10. Open OB-Xd on a track, twiddle the filter cutoff and press Param button in Reaper's plugin header, show track envelope for last touched parameter. Draw some automation then hit play to start from beginning, then play some notes while transport is running. Play cursor doesn't move until the transport passes the last automation point entered. Plugin GUI needs to be displayed, it doesn't happen if its closed.

This doesn't happen with any other plugin.

[discoDSP]

Can't reproduce the described behaviour using build from dev branch commit. Does it happen with VST2, VST3 or both?

[EvilDragon]

I was trying VST2. I tested what was on the nightly page. Please see this GIF for yourself:



VST3 is slightly better but the playhead stutters like crazy, rather than not showing at all. GIF:





It looks as if the plugin GUI is stealing UI refreshes from the host somehow.

[EvilDragon]

Ha, dunno. I'm just reporting it.

I can confirm the same issue in Studio One.

[discoDSP]

Very strange... will investigate. Thanks for the reports.

[chk071]

Maybe graphics hardware related?

Just guessing here.

[discoDSP]

It would be great if anyone else could confirm the same issue.
