Unassigned Controls

  • Fine Tune

Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

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