Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Oberheim TEO-5?
  • If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the Oberheim TEO-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 Oberheim TEO-5 to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired Part in Omnisphere.
  • Are you using a USB hub? Try connecting your Oberheim TEO-5 or MIDI Interface directly to your computer.
