  • Connect the microKORG to your MIDI interface.

  • Enable the microKORG as a MIDI input device in the host software you’re using (DAW, Standalone, etc.).

  • Activate the microKORG Hardware Profile in Omnisphere 2.6 or higher.

Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the microKorg?
  • If you are using the Omnisphere standalone host, make sure the MIDI output channel of the microKorg 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 microKorg to the MIDI channel assigned to the desired Part in Omnisphere.
