The microKorg is an affordable mini-key synth with a panel that gives you a few controls at a time. By delving deeper you can control Omnisphere’s Oscillators, Envelopes, Filters, Mod Matrix, and FX, so you can do a fair amount of programming remotely. Overall, it might not be the best experience when controlling Omnisphere, but if you need something portable and battery-powered, this can be a good choice.
