MIDI SETUP

The MIDI setup window (Control+M) can be found under the MIDI window menu. In the MIDI Setup window, select the MIDI IN and OUT ports to which the OB-6 is connected and set the MIDI Channel to match the MIDI channel on the OB-6.

Once the proper ports and MIDI channel are selected, you should see the current OB-6 software version at the top of the MIDI Setup window as shown. This confirms that SoundEditor is communicating with the Sequential OB-6.

To establish a proper MIDI communication. Make sure that the Global Parameters are set MANUALLY (not through the computer) on OB-6 as follows.

To control the OB-6 in real-time:

MIDI Channel: ALL

Param Xmit: NRPN (nr)

Param Rcv: NRPN (nr)

MIDI Control: On

For data communication:

MIDI Sysex: USB (Usb) or MIDI (Nid) - depending on your connection

MIDI Out: USB (Usb) or MIDI (Nid) - depending on your connection

Please refer to https://youtu.be/Kix08-8nwvs (DSI OB-6 Global Settings and MIDI Setup for Soundtower Editor) for more information.

Also, please make sure that the Editor and the OB-6 have the same MIDI channel or OB-6 MIDI channel is set to ALL.

If you still experience connectivity problems, please close all other applications that may be using MIDI ((Midi Ox, Midi Yoke, your DAW, etc.) and then try it.

GLOBAL SETTINGS

The OB-6 Globals (Control+G) can also be found under the MIDI window menu. Please note that some settings that are necessary for maintaining a proper MIDI communication are disabled and cannot be changed directly for the editor.

MIDI WINDOW MENU

Here you can access all functions that will enable the editor to communicate with the OB-6 and sync the data by receiving all banks.  

In the MIDI Setup you can configure which MIDI ports should be used to communicate with OB-6.

Global Settings panel lets you view all OB-6 Globals.

Important. Changes made by the editor are not saved automatically on OB-6.

To write global settings changes you need to enter and exit Globals mode directly on the OB-6 panel.
