We're excited to announce the release of OB-Xd version 3.6, bringing improvements to MIDI control mapping and user interface functionality.
New Default MIDI CC Mappings
We've expanded MIDI control capabilities by adding default mappings for previously unmapped parameters:
Voice Multiply (VOICES) is now accessible via CC 120.
Filter envelope shape (LOG-LIN) can be controlled using CC 121.
Amplifier envelope shape (LOG-LIN) is mapped to CC 122.
Filter Falloff (FLT COMP) is now controllable via CC 123.
MIDI Mapping Improvements
We've resolved the MIDI CC mapping overlap between BENDRANGE and LEVEL_DIF parameters. BENDRANGE (Bend Octave) is now mapped to CC 118, while LEVEL_DIF (Loudness Detune) uses CC 124.
LFO Mapping Fixes
A significant fix has been implemented for the MIDI Output Listener's LFO mapping chain. The fillMap() function now correctly assigns:
LfoOsc1 to LFOOSC1 (CC 47).
LfoOsc2 to LFOOSC2 (CC 48).
LfoFrequency to LFOFREQ (CC 19).
Enhanced Control Interface
Fine adjustment uses Ctrl on Linux and Alt on other platforms, preventing conflicts with Linux window managers.
Additional Updates
The release also includes fixed Korg MS2000 MIDI XML mappings for better hardware compatibility and updated PDF manual with more detailed MIDI CC Map parameter descriptions.
We're excited to announce the release of discoDSP FX Bundle 2.5, featuring the all-new Samurai Delay plugin. This addition is a faithful port of Jeskola Ninja Delay, delivering a classic dub-style delay with a built-in filter in the feedback path.
With Samurai Delay, you can shape each repeated echo using low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, or notch filters. The feedback parameter, along with control over filter cutoff and bandwidth, allows you to create a variety of effects-from short, subtle echoes to deep, resonant washes and swirling, lo-fi textures.
Whether you're after the spacious dub echoes of reggae, the vintage warmth of tape delay, or modern psychedelic effects, Samurai Delay offers flexible delay-length options in Ticks, Milliseconds, Samples, or Tick/256, ensuring precise synchronization for your production needs.
FX Bundle 2.5 is our next step in providing creative tools for sound design and music production, and we can't wait for you to explore it!
