Setup

To control Omnisphere using the MIDI Fighter Twister, you’ll need to do the following:

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

MIDI FIGHTER TWISTER SETUP

Omnisphere relies on the factory of the MIDI Fighter Twister.

  • If you have customized the knobs on the MIDI Fighter Twister, you’ll need to use the MIDI Fighter Utility application to return the knobs to their default MIDI CC assignments.
  • Omnisphere’s Global Controls are linked to the first bank of knobs on the MIDI Fighter Twister.
  • Make sure Bank 1 for the knobs is engaged by press the middle buttons on the left or right side of the MIDI Fighter Twister until Bank 1 is loaded.

HOST CONNECTION

  • Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the MIDI Fighter Twister 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 “DJ Tech Tools > MIDI Fighter Twister” to activate the MIDI Fighter Twister Hardware Profile.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not working? Here are some things to try:

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the MIDI Fighter Twister?
  • Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the MIDI Fighter Twister 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 MIDI Fighter Twister matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
  • Are the knobs on the MIDI Fighter Twister sending the correct MIDI CC#s used to control Omnisphere? See the list at the top of the page. You can check by connecting your MIDI Fighter Twister to the MIDI Fighter Utility application and reviewing the settings there.
