  2. Set up the iRig Keys 2 to control Omnisphere.
  3. Enable the iRig Keys 2 as a MIDI input device in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).

IRIG KEYS 2 SETUP
Omnisphere relies on the factory default settings of a User SET on the iRig Keys 2.

  • If you haven’t customized any User SET on the iRig Keys 2, then you can move on to the next steps under “HOST CONNECTION.”
  • If you have customized one of the FOUR User SETs on the iRig Keys 2, you can simply press the [SET] button until the LED of any unused SET is lit.
  • If you have customized all four User SETs then you’ll need to reporgram one of the SETs on iRig Keys 2 and assign each knob to their factory default settings listed at the top of the page.

HOST CONNECTION

  • Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the iRig Keys 2 is enabled as a MIDI input device.

OMNISPHERE SETUP

  • Open Omnisphere and from the header, select the HW menu button.
  • From the drop-down menu, select “IK Multimedia > IK Multimedia iRig Keys 2 MIni” to activate the iRig Keys 2 hardware profile.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not working? Here are some things to try:

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the iRig Keys 2?
  • Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the iRig Keys 2 to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired part in Omnisphere.
  • If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the iRig Keys 2 matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
