Setting Up the Super 8

Setup

To control Omnisphere using the UDO Super 8, you’ll need to do the following:

• Connect the Super 8 to your computer via USB.
• Set up the Super 8’s front panel controls to send MIDI CCs.
• Activate the Super 8 Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.

MIDI OUTPUT SETUP

• Press the SHIFT button.
• Press the TX/RX E button, which is found on the left side of the control panel, near the SHIFT button.

• Press SHIFT again to exit the Global Settings menu.
