Here's a song I made using Obxd



Tongo from www.linuxmusicians.com (Olive DuB at youtube) mentions in the captions using Obxd in this song:

Congrats guys V3 really sounds great.

Is there or will there be a skin for this like the dark grey in V2?

Absolutely, we're definitely working on new skins. It's fantastic to hear that you liked the dark grey skin in V2. We're putting a lot of effort into creating skins that not only look great but also enhance your experience with V3. Stay tuned for some exciting updates, and thanks so much for your enthusiasm and support.

AWeSOME!!

We're announcing the release of macOS OB-Xd 3.1 RC2, which resolves the issue where installing OB-Xd 3.x on macOS systems resulted in the removal of OB-Xd 2.x plugin files. This update ensures smooth and separate functioning of both versions.

Please download the update from our website. Your feedback is crucial for our continuous improvement. Thank you for your continued support.

We're announcing the release of macOS OB-Xd 3.1 RC2, which resolves the issue where installing OB-Xd 3.x on macOS systems resulted in the removal of OB-Xd 2.x plugin files.

Thanks for fixing that, it works as expected now.

This update ensures smooth and separate functioning of both versions.

The main issue with having them both installed (which is necessary for compatibility reasons) is that both versions have the same plugin name, so in Logic (etc), they show up like this:-

SCR-20231208-baon.png

One of those "Stereo" ones is V2.x, and one of them is V3.x, but it's impossible to know which you're loading beforehand.

(It also goes against how plugins are presented in the menus in Logic, there should only be one plugin, with all of it's routing options present, not multiple copies of the same routing ("Stereo") loading different plugins under the one plugin name.)

A better solution is to change the name of V3 to, eg, "OB-Xd 3" or similar, then you'd get two independent plugins in the menus ("OB-Xd" -> Stereo and "OB-Xd 3" -> Stereo), and could choose the one you need directly without confusion.

Hello Beely,

Thank you for your feedback regarding the naming of OB-Xd 2.x and 3.x in your DAW. We understand your concerns about the confusion this might cause in Logic.

However, at this stage, we are not planning to rename these versions. OB-Xd 2.x is now considered a legacy product, and our focus is on developing and improving the newer versions. We encourage users to gradually transition to the latest versions for the best experience and support.

We understand this might require some adjustment in how you manage and select the plugins in your DAW. We appreciate your understanding and patience as you adapt to this setup.

Thank you for using OB-Xd, and we hope you continue to find value in our products.

We have updated the manual with a new revision, which includes additions such as the Preset Bar, Troubleshooting, License Terms, and a Copyright Section. Below is an excerpt describing the functionality of the new Preset Bar:

Preset Bar

A significant enhancement is the addition of Disk mode to the Preset Browser, augmenting the preset management capabilities of this synthesizer. This mode introduces a file-based system for loading and organizing presets, diverging from the traditional bank-based approach.

Enhanced Individual Preset Management

Unlike the bank-based system, where presets are grouped in sets of 128, the Disk mode facilitates saving and automatically sorting individual FXP presets in the designated Documents > discoDSP > OB-Xd > Presets directory.

Elimination of Preset Limits per Folder In Disk mode

The constraint of storing only 128 presets per folder is removed. This allows for unlimited presets in each folder, offering extensive flexibility in preset management.

Customizable Folder Structure

Users have the liberty to create multiple folders within the Documents > discoDSP > OB-Xd > Presets directory, enabling them to categorize and organize presets based on personal preferences. This feature enhances the ease of accessing and managing a large array of presets.

Upon activating the Disk mode, the bank selection interface is repurposed into a "sound type" selector. This adjustment modifies the display in the adjacent preset window, where every preset stored in the selected folder is now listed. The organization within the Presets folder dictates the categorization and display of these presets.

This innovative feature in OB-Xd 3.x offers users a more intuitive and efficient way of handling a vast number of presets, thereby enhancing the overall user experience in sound management within the synthesizer.

George's (our CEO) new support team is real people, tackling your suggestions and questions head-on.

How many one man developers with only a few ageing plugins in their portfolio can afford to hire a "support team" ?

I don't care if developers who have issues interacting with people use A.I. to provide forward facing support but don't insult our intelligence.

Couldn't it be simply humans leveraging ai to provide templates for best customer interaction, and I totally see how it could happen? I am the first not completely happy on various commercial actions of discodsp in the past, but this continuous presumption of being in absolute truth not even contemplating possible "in the middle" situations is getting more and more annoying in kvr... Or maybe in general people is getting worse. Or, I'm simply aging myself and being less tolerant. At least though I'm still giving some possibilities, especially when they are totally feasible....

This innovative feature in OB-Xd 3.x

There is NOTHING innovative in allowing users to sort presets in folders. Sheesh.

It's innovative in the plugin

So you think he hired a "support team" to use A.I. instead of just using it himself? Or instead hire people who do know how to do competent human customer interaction?

Sure there are other possibilities but you're reading the same posts I am. I guess we're taking different opinions away from reading those posts.

To me they sound soulless and robotic. If that "annoys" you then I think you need to go for a walk and get some fresh air....

Intelligence? Where?

Could be even himself rather than a support team. And, sure I will take care of my mental health and get some good fresh air, thank you for the suggestion, coming from such a reknown relaxed and hypertolerant guy
