Setup

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

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

OXYGEN PRO MINI SETUP

Omnisphere relies on the factory default settings of Preset 12 while in Preset Mode on the Oxygen Pro Mini 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 25 is in Preset mode.
  • Lastly, activate Preset 12 by using the scroll encoder to scroll through the various presets until you see Preset 12 displayed.

HOST CONNECTION

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

  • Omnisphere’s parameters are assigned to both Banks of knobs on the Oxygen Pro Mini. Use the [BANK > ] and [BANK < ] buttons to toggle between both banks of knobs on the Oxygen Pro Mini.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not working? Here are some things to try:

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Oxygen Pro Mini?
  • Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the Oxygen Pro Mini 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 Mini matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
  • Are the knobs on the Oxygen Pro Mini 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 Mini by holding [SHIFT] and press the [DAW/ PRESET] button and then checking the MIDI CC assignments for each knob.
