መጫን እና መጀመር;

The SFC-OB is a class-compliant USB-MIDI device which means that no drivers are necessary. The controller should directly be recognized by your computer when plugged-in. USB devices should preferably be connected directly to the computer USB ports. Please make sure that your USB ports/hubs are providing enough power to every single device in your configuration.

If the device turns on (red LEDs are on and you can change the switches positions) but it is not recognized by the computer, please go through this guide completely. Please also try another USB cable, USB port and if possible another computer or OS. Before getting in touch for support, please confirm that the device is sending out MIDI correctly (or not) using a MIDI monitor (in google Chrome you can use the control panel app). If it does send MIDI messages as expected then the problem should be in the DAW and plugin configuration, make sure the controller is setup in your DAW and that the plugin is mapped.

USB-MIDI Troubleshooting on Windows:

If the device turns on (red LEDs are on and you can change the switches positions) but it is not recognized by the computer there is most likely an configuration or OS related issue. Please try another USB cable, USB port and if possible another computer or OS. Before getting in touch for support, please confirm that the device is sending out MIDI correctly (or not) using a MIDI monitor (in google Chrome you can use የቁጥጥር ፓነል መተግበሪያ). If it does send MIDI messages as expected then the problem should be in the DAW and plugin configuration, make sure the controller is setup in your DAW and that the plugin is mapped. Remember that Windows allows only 1 connec5on at the 5me between a USB-MIDI device and a software. Make sure all other MIDI applications are closed before you are trying to connect the controller to your DAW.

Using the controller with plugins

Before you get started, always make sure that you have the latest version of the software you want to use with the SFC-OB.

The SFC-OB sends CC MIDI messages to take control of the synth parameters. Therefore the plugin needs the right MIDI mapping and MIDI needs to be routed to the plugin’s track. There is no magic connection between the controller and plugins፣ MIDI እንደ ዩኤስቢ-MIDI ቁልፍ ሰሌዳ ለ exampለ.

The original 1.0 factory firmware supports 4 modes:12

  • Arturia OP-Xa (default out of the box)
  • GForce OB-X
  • Sonic Projects OP-X PRO-II/DiscoDSP OB-Xd
  • Synapse Obession

To change the plugin mode, see the control panel section 12.

Arturia OP-Xa 2-way communication

Thanks to Arturia’s ingenious XML controller mapping system, a greatly improved integration with the latest Arturia OP-Xa (Vcollection 9 and above) plugin can be accessed thanks to a simple and easy copy file(s). The controller can receive sysex data from the plugin when presets or instances are changed in the DAW. On the controller side, the data is loaded to the interface and the controller can update the front panel. It can also request the sysex interface data on demand if needed, this is necessary when a DAW will not trigger certain events correctly. This integration works thanks to Arturia’s XML system that was implemented for their own line of MIDI controllers. This functionality won’t be available for other plugins unless developers program special functions to implement this. Special thanks to Marie from Arturia for taking the time to explain me how it works.

አዘገጃጀት:

First make sure that the SFC-OB is in the Arturia plugin mode (see section 6).

የሚጠበቀው ባህሪ፡-

The controller will synchronise to the plugin in the following situations:

  • አዲስ ተሰኪ ምሳሌ ሲፈጠር
  • when the standalone version is opened (if the SFC-OB is checked on in the Audio MIDI Settings)
  • ቅድመ-ቅምጦችን ሲቀይሩ
  • ትራኮችን / ሁኔታዎችን ሲቀይሩ
  • when requesting it using the SYNC switch on the controller

The plugin will also send a single sysex message when a plugin control is moved or touched using the mouse as well.

When the sysex interface data is sent to the controller, the firmware will ingest it and the LEDs will be changed to mirror the plugin status. The pot data is also ingested and they are 3 behaviors possible, see below in the MODES switch options.

የDAW ዝርዝሮች፡-

Switching instances happens differently in every DAW so please refer to your DAW’s manual and documentation to do this. Usually, it involves selecting another track, making sure that the arm record function goes with it and also insuring that the new plugin GUI opens. Please note that switching tracks (using the Arm Recording switch) to open a new instance in Ableton is problematic. The previously opened GUI is not properly closed and thus the functions in the plugin framework are not triggered correctly when a new instance is opened. This is not a problem related to Arturia software or SoundForce controllers. The easy workaround for this is to firstly switch tracks, then to manually request the sysex data transfer from the plugin to the controller with the SYNC switch.

Remote control switches:

From the controller, you can change the presets with the DOWN and UP arrow switches.

You can also manually request the sysex synchronization from the plugin to the controller with the SYNC switch. This is especially handy if you notice that the sysex transfer is not triggering when switching tracks/instances, for example በ Ableton ከላይ እንደተጠቀሰው.

The DUMP switch allows you to synchronize in the other direction, from the controller to the plug- in. The controller will dump its full interface data into one packet sent to the plugin.

The MODES switch will define the behavior in case of discrepancies between a plugin pot-position and a controller pot-position with the goal of avoiding juming values.

MODES switch options:

When the received pot data from the plugin differs from the actual pot positions on the controller, discontinuities can appear if this is not dealt with. Similar to Ableton take over modes, they are 3 options that can be set with the MODES switch:

  • ዝለል: the controller will send instantly its new physical pot value and the pot in the plugin will do a jump
  • ማንሳት: the controller will only send new pot values after the controller-pot has reached the plugin-pot position. The LEDs on top of the DOWN and UP arrow switches will blink to let you if you need to go down (DOWN arrow blinks) or up (UP arrow blinks)
  • ማመጣጠን: the controller will rescale the values sent to the plugin elastically so that a move on the controller matches the range of a move on the plugin control. Only smooth transitions are created. As soon as the control reaches one extremities (0 or 127), the scale is back to the normal 1:1 proportion.

DiscoDSP OB-Xd mapping preset

The DiscoDSP team has included an XML mapping preset in the plugin menu to get instant map- ping with just one mouse click. Press the red MENU switch -> MIDI -> SFC-OB. The OB-Xd is an amazing plugin with a free non-commercial license option. Most of the classic OB-style parameters are available and those will be automatically mapped when using the preset.

DUMP switch

When the plugin window and the state of the controller are different, it is sometimes preferable to “push” the state of the controller to the plugin interface. That way nothing is jumping around when you start moving the controls and it helps getting the controller and plugin synced up when you get starting. The DUMP switch is reading every control and sending a pack of CC messages to the plugin.

SHIFT switch

The SHIFT switch is unlocking an alternative MIDI channel for the pots. Simply hold down the SHIFT switch and turn your desired control. Please note that SHIFT is not latching, which means you need to hold it down.

LEDs brightness

Holding down the SHIFT button, you can change the LEDs brightness turning the PORTAMENTO TIME pot. This preference is saved in the controller and loaded when the device is plugged in.

As firmware v1.0, the SFC-OB has 4 modes:

  • Arturia OP-Xa
  • GForce OB-X
  • Sonic Projects OP-X PRO-II/DiscoDSP OB-Xd
  • Synapse Obession

Each mode has a different interface behavior that will fit the destination plugin or hardware as much as possible.

You can click on each control and change the CC message number. In some situations, certain CCs are highjacked by DAWs and hard routed to specific functions, so some edits are necessary.
