Setup

To control Omnisphere using the Ozonic, you’ll need to do the following:

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

OZONIC SETUP

Omnisphere relies on the default preset named “01 GM Preset” on the Ozonic for external control.

  • Typically, Preset 01 is active when the Ozonic is turned on. However, you can make sure Preset 01 “GM Preset” is activated on the Ozonic by pressing the [Bank A/B] button and then press the [A1] button.

HOST CONNECTION

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not working? Here are some things to try:

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

NOTE: The Enigma editor is no longer supported or provided by M-Audio. If you don’t have aCC#ess to the Enigma editor, an alternative is to factory reset the Ozonic. However, doing so will erase all user saved presets on the Axiom. If you’d like to continue with a factory reset, please turn OFF the Ozonic, then press the Octave [+] and [-] buttons at the same time while turning the Ozonic back ON.
