Setup

To control Omnisphere using the Oxygen 25 mk5, you’ll need to do the following:

  1. Connect the Oxygen 25 mk5 to your computer via USB.
  2. Set up the Oxygen 25 mk5 to control Omnisphere.
  3. Enable the Oxygen 25 mk5 as a MIDI input device in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
  4. Activate the Oxygen 25 mk5 Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.

OXYGEN 25 MK5 SETUP

Omnisphere relies on the factory default settings of Preset 01 while in Preset Mode on the Oxygen 25 mk5 for external control.

  • First, activate Preset mode by pressing the [DAW/ PRESET] button until the [DAW/ PRESET] button is dark / dimmed – this indicates that the Oxygen 25 is in Preset mode.
  • Once entering Preset Mode, Preset 01 should automatically load. If needed, you can activate Preset 01 by pressing the [ < ] or [ > ] buttons to scroll through the various presets until you see Preset 01 displayed.

HOST CONNECTION

  • Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the Oxygen 25 mk5 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 “M-Audio > M-Audio Oxygen 25 mk5” to activate the Oxygen 25 mk5 hardware profile.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not working? Here are some things to try:

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Oxygen 25 mk5?
  • Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the Oxygen 25 mk5 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 Oxygen 25 mk5 matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
  • Are the knobs on the Oxygen 25 mk5 sending the correct MIDI CC messages? A simple way to check this is by using MIDI Monitor by Snoize or recording knob movement in your DAW.
