I am curious how much of Zynthian works or falls apart with that newer Debian version, not for the short term but to have an idea of what’s coming.

Update: this could be an interesting experiment on a throw away SD card running latest Zynthian.

The latest OB-Xf code base seems to include support for this. This doesn’t automatically trickle down to Zynthian yet, but it’s good to know it’s coming OR allows to check it out on other platforms in the nightly releases.

Update: clarification of the OB-Xd support, taken from the README

Patches and banks created by OB-Xd are compatible with OB-Xf, using the “Import OB-Xd Bank…” option in the patch browser, or by simply drag-and-dropping OB-Xd FXP/FXB files onto OB-Xf’s interface.
This functionality was introduced in v1.1 update.

Fidelity of conversion is retained in all cases except one. This is due to the fact that OB-Xd has an offset of 12 semitones when all coarse tuning controls are set to 0 semitones - so middle C produces ~464 Hz instead of the expected ~232 Hz. OB-Xf has fixed this reference pitch, and compensates for the discrepancy by increasing the Transpose parameter by 12 semitones. If Transpose parameter was already at maximum, both oscillators are pitched up by 12 semitones. If either of the oscillator pitch controls don’t allow for an increase of 12 semitones, the imported patch will sound one octave lower than in OB-Xd.
