MIDI OUTPUT SETUP

  • Press the GLOBAL button on the front panel.

  • Then, navigate to “MIDI Arp Notes” and set it to “OFF”

Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

  • Make sure the GLOBAL button is deselected on the Take 5.
  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Sequential Take 5?
  • If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the Take 5 matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
  • Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the Take 5 to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired Part in Omnisphere.
  • Are you using a USB hub? Try connecting your Take 5 or MIDI Interface directly to your computer.
