  • Enable the Messenger as a MIDI input device to Omnisphere in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
  • Activate the Messenger Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.

Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Messenger?
  • If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the Messenger 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 Messenger to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired Part in Omnisphere.
