Chapter 4: Creating Sounds
The OB-X8 can produce a broad spectrum of sounds. Though the factory
programs give you some idea of its scope, if you just play its programs,
you’re not using the OB-X8 to its full potential. The real fun is in creating
sounds of your own.
This chapter provides some short sound programming tutorials. Though
there isn’t enough space here to cover how to use every OB-X8 function, the
examples will help you get familiar with some basic concepts.
Synth Bass
A synth bass is one of the easiest and most useful sounds you can make
on a synth. Many great synth bass sounds consist of a single oscillator, a
bit of filter resonance, the proper envelope, and that’s it. So start with the
Basic Program and go from there.
Short Version
