One Synth Challenge #208: OB-Xf by the Surge Synth Team (Now Compatible with OB-Xd patches!)

I know I should write in the dedicated thread or on GitHub, but: why do some controls react to mouse scroll in the opposite direction?
For example, poly or voices, pitchbend down or up, all decrease when rolling forward. It looks like only these LED-like controls are affected.
At the same time knobs and sliders react as expected (rolling forward increases the value)

We actually argued about this a bit in the team

The answer is those controls are menus and the mouse is scrolling through the menu list

But for the numerical values we had a group which indeed felt it was backwards and another which felt it was not.

Could be a UI setting - "mouse scroll mode"?

I don't want to litter the menu with niche UX options, frankly. As opposed to Surge which has almost every option under the sun, and then some, OB-Xf is intended to stay lean and mean and without a forest of options.

BTW Show Track Envelope and Show in Track Controls (in Reaper) available under RMB is a very nice touch. Never seen it before in any other softsynth

Surge Shortcircuit and six sines also have it. Ask me how I know

How do you know? You sound like an insider.

There's different ways to config stuff. Bitwig for instance uses optional config file for some setting iirc ... I think for instance for setting graphics backend to vulkan if default is not working and user want/has to override default. but it's your call.
