    could it be this plugin is not compatible with Win7x86? I downloaded and installed it but do not see anywhere I can start it e.g. standalone, as a dll - anyone know if this is possible?

    I have a question. I put my midi track. I'm in E minor but even my OSC1 and 2 are at -12 keytrack at zéro coarse at zéro it's still half tone lower. Do you have an idea why ? Even fine tune is at zéro. Why it play half tone lower than my midi file ? Thanks

    This looks like the most similar thing to an OB6 I've seen in the VST world, the other OBs dont have SEM filters.

    Your video sold me! As a total newbie, I downloaded the OB-Xd app, but nothing appears on the screen. Do I need to run this app in conjunction with some other program? Logic Pro? Can't afford that. A short step-by-step on what programs are needed would be of great value. And hardware - do I need a MIDI keyboard? Thanks!

      I was having the same problem...you should click on the 'menu' switch and toggle the 'preset bar' on.

    How do we assign knobs from our controller ? Thanks

    • @davidsharpe6524

      If you haven't already, try clicking on 'LEARN' button bottom left. While in learn mode adjust the parameter you want to assign to midi, then adjust your MIDI controller. You will need to do this each parameter.

    Downloaded it a couple of weeks ago for testing a mini midi keyboard... This has changed, lots of new stuff to play around with...
    But (this has nothing to do with OB-Xd though)... I downloaded the free ASIO driver (for Windows) and it worked great (dull sounding though, but I did not compare it to anything else). Was really low latency... then I just fiddled around and thought I would try some other drivers... Directsound (1 second latency or something)... Windows exclusive... hmm that sounded different, but as for the name... any sound other then coming from OB-Xd was just "in error"... Then I tried Windows Low Latency driver (MS one again) and What the holy hell... sounded TOTALLY different (was low latency 10 ms, not as low as ASIO could get to without distort but still)...
    My ASIO driver vs Windows low latency driver was like night and day in clarity... ASIO was super dull in comparison... Why?
    Is it that ASIO is program->soundoutput (RAW)->hardware and Windows low latency drivers add some DSP effects in the end or what? because it was a world of difference...
    I have no added audio hardware just the inbuilt motherboard Realtek sound chip...
    But there is a world of difference using OB-Xd with the Windows low latency drivers and ASIO4ALL drivers in sound quality... really really weird...

    It is free, provided it is not used in commercial productions. On their website they write: "The term commercial purpose means using the software for any fee, charge, tariff or other consideration directly or indirectly in connection with any commercial or other for-profit enterprise." Sounds fair, so be fair.

    Sounds are OK but not very punchy as the original
