Each of these control the corresponding volume level of each SEM from SEM 5 through to SEM 8. When any SEM Volume Knob is set to a zero value, either via the Volume Knob being turned fully anti-clockwise, or via an active Mute, the centre of the knob will be illuminated in red.
Each of these knobs control the corresponding pan positions of SEM 5 through to SEM 8.
OB-E v2 uses Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) to place sounds more accurately & realistically within a sound field. HRTF methodology uses a mix of amplitude, filter, and delay changes to widen the stereo field creating something more musically useful than the traditional pan method.
While the SEM Level Knobs determine the volume level of individual SEMs, this knob controls the overall level for SEMs 5-8. It’s possible to simultaneously control the Upper & Lower Master Level Knobs by holding Alt+A on your QWERTY keyboard. When the Master Level Knob is set to a zero value, either via the Volume Knob being set to zero, or via an active Upper Module Mute, you will see the centre of all the Level Knobs illuminated in red.
<aside> ⚠️ As there are three gain stages within OB-E it’s important to set each stage up properly. If your Patch is too hot, back-off the Master Level. If a greater reduction is required, reduce the level of each SEM via the eight individual SEM Level Knobs.
