Short and sweet!
Nice overview of the Ob-Xa’s basic and more advanced capabilities, following a concise Synths 101 type of introductory videos. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I’m not going so far as marking the training down for this, but if I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be for phrases like “and stuff like this”/“and all these kind of things” to be replaced by actual terms for specific elements in the instrument. I get that the sky is the limit in terms of sound design with an instrument like this one, and that there’s an element of just going with the flow for someone as experienced as the author when creating a sound. However, in the context of a training video, I would have found the videos *extra* helpful with maybe just a bit more structure and clarity as far as navigating between the different parts of the synth with a particular purpose in mind.
