Best Midi Controller For Omnisphere 2

Nov 09, 2017 Best Omnisphere 2 NKS template. Discussion in 'KOMPLETE KONTROL SERIES' started. On the other hand, the Maschine Pack doesn't seem to include a Radius controller and the Freelance Soundlabs template includes both Radius and Angle. (as best as Komplete Kontrol allows). Last edited: Mar 28, 2018. JesterMgee, May 17, 2017 #2. Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol 2-49 Key MIDI controller Even at first glance one can tell that this is a serious MIDI keyboard controller. The 49 semi-weighted key bed is a serious deviation from what you commonly find in the market. MIDI controllers multiply the possibilities of your DAW and VSTs. All of a sudden you can make a groovier beat, mix more easily and tweak with precision. Getting the best MIDI keyboard for your needs is a vital tool for success. Choosing the right one is the first step towards becoming a better producer.

We have received numerous requests from musicians and composers to develop a replacement for Yamaha's breath controller BC3A.
The result is the TEControl USB MIDI Breath Controller, which has the same function as a combination of the BC3A and the “MIDI Solutions” converter box but with a USB-MIDI class compliant interface instead of the older standard DIN connector.
The USB MIDI Breath Controller uses a novel signal processing algorithm to convert the breath pressure signal to MIDI messages (CC, Pitch bend or Aftertouch) that let you add realistic expression to your performance. This is extremely useful for live performance with synthesizers and DAW’s. It gives you excellent control of volume, expression, velocity cross-fade etc… of soft synths and sample libraries.
The USB MIDI Breath Controller is fully configurable with min/max input and output ranges as well as sensitivity curve. Insensitive to ambient air pressure, it works equally well in Amsterdam and La Paz with full resolution for all input ranges.
The headset is flexible to allow bending to a comfortable shape and yet springy enough to clamp around the head, and includes a Yamaha BC3-style mouthpiece with adjustable bleed valve that can be rotated away from the mouth when not in use. The headset is now included in the purchase price and is delivered with every breath controller.

Setup Seaboard for Omnisphere

Benoit Besson

Hi,

2.0


I spent a couple of days trying to find the best way to play with the Seaboard Rise with Omnisphere. I understood a couple of things I can share with the community.


The best way to interact with Omnisphere is using Modulation. Modulation can be set up in the system section by associating Omnisphere internal modulation source names with MIDI controllers.


First, I created 2 modes for Omnisphere in ROLI Dashboard :

- one name SC_Omnishere for Single Channel configuration, useful when setting up songs in single channel mode

- one name MC_Omnishere for Multi channel configuration, useful when playing in multi channel mode


This is very important because you will need to regularly swith beetween these modes as you are setting up patches or playing in Multi mode.


The rise provides 11 controllers : Strike,Lift,Glide,Slide,Press,Touch Faders #1-#3, Pad X/Y.Omnisphere only provides one parameter for User CC. To control all theses 11 parameter, the Seabord shall be mapped, in Omnisphere system section or in the Roli Dashboard for Control input.


PITCH BEND RANGE

In each profile, I set set Pitch bend range to 24 as Omnisphere cannot process a range of 48.

Do not forget to set up this value in the Omnisphere main section for each part, and the to lock the pitch bend range in the lock menu (this has to be done everytime Omnisphere is started :-( )

SET UP SYSTEM SECTION

Here is personal setup for the controllers, duplicated in these 2 profiles :

- Strike : Note ON velocity : already available :-)

- Lift : Note OFF velocity : not processed by Omnisphere :-(

- Glide : Pitch Bender : already available :-) Do not forget to set to 24 as described above !

- Slide : Link to Omnisphere User CC with the initial value (CC74)

- Press : AfterTouch : already available :-)

- Touch Fader #1 : reconfigure in Roli DashBoard to CC1 : Modulation Wheel to be avialable as Wheel in Omnisphere. Omnisphere factory songs all all based on 1D modulation using Wheel

- Touch Fader #2 : reconfigure in Roli DashBoard to CC2 : Breath Controller

- Touch Fader #3 : reconfigure in Roli DashBoard to CC2 : Foot Controller

- Sustain Pedal : already available :-)

SET UP MIDI CC FOR PAD

The last controllers are mapped using MIDI CC learn:

- Pad X/Y : Keep CC113/CC14 in ROLI DashBoard and Associate with Omnisphere ORB X/Y.

Omnisphere

=> This is hard to to because :

- you need to select 'Switch to Radius' to configure X and Y.

- As CC113 is always send first before CC1114, you will need an external controller to send CC114 for association.

You also have to configure omnisphere to remember these settings in the future. Go to the utility menu / Midi learn and automation / and select 'Ignore assignments when loading multi'. Then these assignments will not be removed in the future.


FACTORY PATCHES

Now, to work with this setup, you can select a factory song.

Factory patches are only set to be modulated by one controller : Wheel, associated in this setup to Touch Fader 1, as it would be with a traditional keyboard.

To check it, select a part, a layer, and go the modulation section. Then you can change the source to route it to any controller previously mapped : Slide, Touch Faders, etc...


ROUTE TO ROLI CONTROLLERS

You can also add new controllers. Equator provides sounds configured 'on the box' for the Seaboard, but Omnishpere does not. You can easily route Omnishere sources to Seaboard controllers, but you will not get sounds set up for the Rise for the Press and Slide controllers.


ADJUST TO MATCH THE EXPECTED EXPRESSION

To get closer, you will need to make some work with Omnishpere, associating them to Cutoff, Harmonia Mix or other targets you find interesting. Some are already mapped as this with the Wheel controller.


SWITCH TO MULTI MODE

When you successfully created a song in part 1, use the utility menu to clone part 1, and then swith to the profile MC_Omnisphere. Now you can play MPE with Omnisphere :-)
