I just tried that and told Live to rescan plugins. No luck...

I guess I'm probably out this month, I don't have time to debug this.

Working fine here in Live 9.5., El Capitan. Make sure you also copy the .so files, not just the .vst.

I need help :help:

Yesterday I started with OXE. I figured out how to create new sounds. And then I wanted to save them. Here the problems started:
- clicking on the NAME buttom, nothing happend. I cannot name the sounds.
- clicking on SAVE button, I got asked if I want to overwrite a preset number. The old name stays the same.
- opening a new instance, loading the owerwritten presets gives me the old preset and not my new one.
- then I tried to save the Preset as vstpreset format. I can save and recall this format, but it is not my sound. It is again an old original sound.

So I am not able to save my own presets. I use WinXP with Reaper 5.0. Any ideas??????

Im sure Reaper have its own Load/Save option within the vst wrapper window, is there a small button with "+" on it, I think it's in there, not at my home computer right now.
Beauty is only skin deep,
Ugliness, however, goes right the way through

@photonic are you saving them as preset or export vst patch

The internal one in OXE I dont use

It could be because of 32/64 bit. Make sure the plugin has the same as the version of Live you're using... I am also on Live on Mac. Works for me.

Has anyone come across a manual/tutorial/documentation for this particular synth? A few of the features are escaping me? X/Y are filters?

X is noise OP, Z is the filter,ops need to be routed to Z filter for the filter to work,reso needs to cranked up on filter for the LP filter to come through

X/Z. Yeah, thanks! Super helpful.

THANK YOU ! :hug:

This was helpfull! I just ignored the save option and choosed the export option. :dog:

But save is working. And the sound will get a name :D
It is crazy that for some synths the export option works and the save option not, and vice versa.

Maybe you were exporting them as FXB files which are bank files,just check the save as type is FXP,

FXP are easier to move around or share,I find,

Oh yeah, that could also be the problem. Sometimes not the VSTi failed, sometimes it's me :oops:

I got it to work in Reaper now, had to select midi ch 4 even though I've set it up to allow all midi channels, but my keyboard is transmitting on 4, so even to change patches on the screen directly on the OXE UI in the mac it somehow wants to just work on ch 4. But it's working which is a giant step forward for all of mankind as far as I'm concerned.

Now I'm on my second OSC in a row working with an unfamiliar DAW, so this will be mentally stimulating but likely musically very simple. You have to love the OSC though -- always a challenge!

As an aside -- (and BJ, I apologize if this is not appropriate for this forum) I wanted to put a notice out to the rest of the OSC group that I'm selling some vintage audio gear. I'll be advertising it around, but if anyone is interested in synths and outboard gear from the 80's and 90's I would like to give this group first crack at it, you can PM me. End of advertisement.

Does this synth have mod wheel modulation capability? I'm not finding it.

Post

Is there a way with this thing to adjust the envelope amount of the filter? Or something similar by routing OSCs to it?

Send only opZ to output, then send the operators you want to filter through opz
It's very tasty, I swear!

I believe the question was if you can control the amount of envelope applied to the filter and I believe, unfortunately, the answer is "no"...
You'll have to control this by setting the cut-off, which is not quite the same thing.
