Setup

To control Omnisphere using the Novation X-Station, you’ll need to do the following:

  • Using a USB cable, connect the X-Station to your computer.
  • Enable “X-Station” as a MIDI input device to Omnisphere in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).
  • Activate the X-Station Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 3 or later.

HOST CONNECTION

Open your host (DAW, Standalone, etc.) and make sure the Uno Synth is enabled as a MIDI input device.

Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try:

  • Make sure the MIDI Channel is set to Ch.1.
  • If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the X-Station 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 X-Station to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired Part in Omnisphere.
