Under Mac OS, “OB-X8” will appear as a
MIDI
port when connected
via
USB
and can be configured using the Mac’s Audio
MIDI
Setup utility
(typically found in Applications/Utilities).
Under Windows, the first time the OB-X8 is connected via USB, the
“Found new hardware” alert appears and it is automatically installed as
“OB-X8.”
In Windows, if you unplug the
USB
cable and plug it back in while a
program has the OB-X8 port open, you may have to resync. That usually
means going to the OB-X8 Keyboard Properties — in the Windows
Device Manager under “Sound, video, and game controllers” — and
clicking OK. If
OB-X8
is no longer listed in the Device Manager, turn off
the OB-X8 then turn it back on again while it is connected via USB. It
should be detected on power up.
Setting Up the OB-X8
Here’s how to get your OB-X8 up and running:
1. Plug the power cable into the AC power connector on the back panel of
the OB-X8.
2. If you have an expression pedal, connect it to
volume
(for volume) or
filter
(for filter cutoff)
on the back of the OB-X8. If you have a sustain
pedal, connect it to the
sustain
jack.
3. If you have purchased the OB-X8 Module, connect a MIDI controller
using a MIDI DIN cable. If using a DAW for control, connect to the
MIDI interface of your choice or to the USB port on your computer.
4. Turn on the OB-X8.
5. Connect the
right
/
left
connectors on the back of the OB-X8 to your
amp/mixer/powered speakers using unbalanced, ¼ inch audio cables.
These are the main outputs for the synth. You can connect a single
unbalanced, ¼ inch audio cable to the
mono
output for mono operation.
6. Turn up the volume on your amp/mixer/powered speakers.
7. Turn up the volume on the OB-X8.
8. Use the
bank
and
group
encoders and the
program
switches to explore
factory sounds.
