Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

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