Use this section to apply an independent X-LFO and/or X-ADSR to almost any of Oberheim OB-X’s main instrument parameters. First, click on the knob for the parameter that you wish to modulate; you’ll see red selection corners surrounding the slider or knob to indicate it is the target for the X-LFO and X-ADSR.
<aside> ⚠️ Think of X-Mods as a unique and separate LFO and Envelope for each parameter on the main synth. It is not one extra mod source that you send, but an LFO and envelope per parameter.

Then apply an X-LFO amount via the X-LFO Amp slider and/or an X-ADSR amount via the Amp knob. A red glow surrounds the knob; as you turn up the amp values, it’ll glow more.
There is almost no limit to the amount of separate X-LFOs and X-ADSRs you can apply, and by using the Copy and Paste buttons, it’s easy to apply the same settings to different parameters. However, you cannot apply an X-LFO or X-ADSR to switches. This includes the switchable Oscillator Range and Waveform Knobs.
When illuminated, all X-LFO and X-ADSR controls are synchronised to the host tempo, and all time-based X-Mod parameters are given in beats.
When off, all X-LFO and X-ADSR controls are not synchronised to the host tempo, and all time-based parameters are given in milliseconds.
Use the COPY button to copy ALL current modulation settings (both X-LFO and X-ADSR) into the internal clipboard.
Use PASTE to apply copied settings to another slider parameter. This is very useful to duplicate modulation settings across many slider parameters quickly.
Use the CLEAR button to set all X-LFO and X-ADSR controls to their default value. Essentially off. Holding cmd (Mac) or ctrl (PC) and clicking Clear will clear and reset all XMod assignments in the patch.
This section provides control over the X-LFO parameters and waveforms. Whenever an Oberheim OB-X knob parameter is affected by an additional X-LFO, it will glow red. A brighter red illumination indicates that the parameter has more X-LFO and/or X-ADSR applied.
There are 10 X-LFO waveforms. These are selected by clicking on the appropriate waveform button. The waveforms are as follows.
