When a Hardware Profile is loaded, Omnisphere follows your moves on the device by automatically switching to the relevant page. If you are adjusting the Amp Envelope, you’ll be taken to the Main page, and the Global Amp Envelope knobs will be displayed. If you are using a hardware synth and adjust the shape of a waveform, Omnisphere will display the Oscillator Zoom page. If you move an effects control on your device, the applicable FX rack will be shown in Omnisphere.
This behavior is enabled by default and can be controlled by selecting or de-selecting “Link Omnisphere GUI” from the HW menu.
After accessing Omnisphere’s pages from a hardware device, you can make even more detailed edits inside Omnisphere. For example, each FX unit in Omnisphere can have up to 15 parameters. Most hardware synths don’t have that many controls dedicated to effects, but with automatic access to the relevant Omnisphere page, you can use the mouse to adjust parameters the hardware can’t control.
This makes the “Link Omnisphere GUI” feature a key part of bridging the gap between software and hardware.
