  • Set up the Nord Wave 1’s front panel controls to send MIDI.
  • Enable the Nord Wave 1 as a MIDI input device to Omnisphere in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
  • Activate the Nord Wave 1 Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.

MIDI OUTPUT SETUP

Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

  • Is your host receiving MIDI from the Nord Wave 1?
  • If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the Nord Wave 1 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 Nord Wave 1 to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired Part in Omnisphere.
