OB 8 Factory MIDI Settings
2007-10-14 by jaybe52000
Does anyone have any of the information reagarding the MIDI controls on the OB8's that have the factory MIDI interface? (Mine is mounted in the left wood endbell, I've seen others with them mounted on the rear metal panel too) I know that when I'm on page two I can turn on and off Pitch Bend, Modulation and Program change using the "A" , "B", "C" buttons. My most pressing need is to find out if I can get the OB 8 out of Midi OMNI MODE since it's responding to all midi channels and set it to receive on just a single MIDI Channel like most newer synths do. My Jupiter 6 has very limited MIDI implementation compared to the OB8 and I can get that to respond "Bi-Timbrally" (two Midi channels with two different sounds) and it's much older than the OB8 that had the MIDI installed. It doesn't even send or recieve Pitch Bend info or modulation via MIDI. I'd really like to know if there's any Midi addendum that was put out for the OB8 or if it was an completely new revision of the owners manual for the B5 software with Midi interface. Thanks, John
