Oberheim OBXa Factory Presets on the Arturia Polybrute First Half (Free/Pay What You Can)
This is the first set of 48 patches from the Oberheim OBXa, recreated on the Arturia PolyBrute. This bank includes the following sets from the OB-Xa. Each set (eg. Set A, Set AB, etc.) has eight patches:
A, AB, AC, ABC, ABD, ACD.
Since I do not have access to a real OB-Xa, I relied heavily on the Arturia OP-Xa V to create these.
If you want to compare these presets with the VST, you can demo a copy of the OP-Xa V on Arturia's website here:
A demo of most of the sounds in this bank can be viewed on YouTube at the following link:
I've included instructions here for loading via the included .PBX bank file or the .PBPROJECT project file.
Installing using the .PBX file:
- Downolad the "OB-XaOnThePolyBrute.pbx" file.
- Open PolyBrute Connect.
- Click on "PolyBrute Connect" at the top left of the main window.
- Select "Import" and navigate to the location where you saved the .PBX file.
- Select the OB-XaOnThePolyBrute.pbx and click "Open".
- Now, when you navigate to the Preset Browser within PolyBrute Connect, you can use the User bank filters to find the 56 presets in this bank.
- Please let me know if you experience any problems loading the presets.
Installing using the included PBPROJECT file:
- Download the "OBXa Bank A.pbproject" file to your computer.
- Open PolyBrute Connect.
- In PolyBrute Connect, navigate to the "Preset Browser".
- Click on "Browse Projects". If you currently have a project file open within PolyBrute Connect, navigate back to your list of projects.
- Click the "Import" button.
- Navigate to your previously saved "OBXa Bank A.pbproject", select it and click "Open".
- The project file should now be listed in the "Browse Projects" section of PolyBrute Connect.
- You can now select the project to view the patch names.
- Using the right-side of the PolyBrute Connect window, you should be able to navigate to some empty "Init" slots on your PolyBrute.
- Select the patches from the left side ("OBXa Bank A") and drag them over to the right side to drop them into the empty "Init" slots of your PolyBrute.
- Enjoy!
