Setup

To control Omnisphere using the Killamix Mini, you’ll need to do the following:

  1. Connect the Killamix Mini to your computer via USB.
  2. Enable the Killamix Mini as a MIDI input device in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
  3. Activate the Killamix Mini Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.

HOST CONNECTION

  • Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the Killamix Mini 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 “Kenton > Kenton Killamix Mini” to activate the Killamix Mini hardware profile.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not working? Here are some things to try:

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Killamix Mini?
  • Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the Killamix Mini 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 Killamix Mini matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
  • Are the knobs on the Killamix Mini sending the correct MIDI CC messages to control Omnisphere? A simple way to check this is by recording knob movement in your DAW.

NOTE: If you need to revert the knobs and buttons back to their default MIDI CC#s, please refer to the Killamix Mini user manual.
