Setup
To control Omnisphere using the Behringer UB-Xa, you’ll need to do the following:
- Connect the UB-Xa to your computer via USB.
- Set up the front panel of the UB-Xa to send NRPNs via USB.
- Enable the UB-Xa as a MIDI input device in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
- Activate the UB-Xa Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.
MIDI OUTPUT SETUP
- Press the SHIFT button and then the USB MIDI button to enter the MIDI settings menu.
- Use the main encoder or the PAGE buttons to navigate to USB Control/NRPN Tx, and set it to transmit NRPNs.
- To allow the UB-Xa’s arpeggiator to output notes via MIDI, navigate to Forwarding, and enable ArpSeq Sel.
HOST CONNECTION
Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the MIDI interface to which you’ve connected the UB-Xa is enabled as a MIDI input device.

Troubleshooting
Not working? Here are some things to try:
- Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the UB-Xa?
- If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the UB-Xa matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere part you want to control.
- Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the UB-Xa to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired Part in Omnisphere.
