Setup

To control Omnisphere using the Oxygen Pro 49, you’ll need to do the following:

1. Connect the Oxygen Pro 49 to your computer via USB.
2. Set up the Oxygen Pro 49 to control Omnisphere.
3. Enable the Oxygen Pro 49 as a MIDI input device in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
4. Activate the Oxygen Pro 49 Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.

OXYGEN PRO 49 SETUP

Omnisphere relies on the factory default settings of Preset 16 while in Preset Mode on the Oxygen Pro 49 for external control.

• Activate Preset mode by pressing the [DAW/ PRESET] button until the [DAW/ PRESET] button is dark / dimmed — this indicates that the Oxygen 49 is in Preset mode.
• Lastly, activate Preset 16 by using the scroll encoder to scroll through the various presets until you see Preset 16 displayed.

HOST CONNECTION

• Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the Oxygen Pro 49 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 Pro 49” to activate the Oxygen Pro 49 hardware profile.

*To remotely step through Omnisphere’s Patches, you can press the bottom [ > ] Button (located to the right of the bottom row of drum pads) for Patch Browser Down / Next Patch and top [ > ] Button for Browser Up / Previous Patch.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not working? Here are some things to try:

• Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Oxygen Pro 49?
• Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the Oxygen Pro 49 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 Pro 49 matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
• Are the knobs on the Oxygen Pro 49 sending the correct MIDI CC messages? A simple way to check this is by using MIDI Monitor by Snoize or go into Edit mode on the Oxygen Pro 49 by holding [SHIFT] and press the [DAW/ PRESET] button and then checking the MIDI CC assignments for each knob.

*If you need to change the MIDI CC#s of the knobs on the Oxygen Pro 49, you can either edit the preset on the Oxygen Pro 49 directly or use the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 Preset Editor application to either restore Preset 12 or manually recofigure the preset to match the MIDI CC#s listed above.
