When using the Alesis V Mini to control Omnisphere, the knobs on the V Mini are assigned to the following Omnisphere parameters:
- Knob 1 (CC#14) – Global Controls Cutoff
- Knob 2 (CC#15) – Global Controls Ambience Amount
- Knob 3 (CC#16) – Global Controls Vibrato Depth
- Knob 4 (CC#17) – Global Controls Glide
Setup
To control Omnisphere using the V Mini, you’ll need to do the following:
- Connect the V Mini to your computer via USB.
- Enable the V Mini as a MIDI input device in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
- Activate the V Mini Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.
HOST CONNECTION
- Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the V 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 “Alesis > Alesis V Mini” to activate the V Mini Hardware Profile.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Not working? Here are some things to try:
- Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the V Mini?
- Make sure your DAW is configured to correctly route the MIDI output of the V 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 V Mini matches the MIDI channel of the Omnisphere Part you want to control.
- Are the knobs on the V Mini sending the correct MIDI CC#s to control Omnisphere? You can use the Alesis V Mini Editor to reset the knobs to match the MIDI CC#s in the list at the top of the page.
NOTE: The Alesis V Mini Editor is a 32-bit application which is no longer compatible with newer computer operating systems. This means you’ll need to use a computer running an older operating system that is compatible with 32-bit programs, such as; Windows 10 or older or MacOS Mojave or older.
