Setting Up Omnisphere In Multi Mode
- When you insert the synth, make sure the all audio tracks checkbox is checked in the dialog. So, you'll then have 8 audio and 1 midi track.
- The audio tracks will be called omnisphere A, Omnisphere B etc.
- Set the outs in the Omnisphere mixer to correspond with the audio tracks.
- Insert an extra 7 midi tracks and set up the inputs for those and the audio tracks etc.
Multi Mode Information
In Multi Mode where the mixer is displayed, it is laid out like this as far as Jaws is concerned…
- Ch1: Default, Out A
- Ch2: Default, Out A
- Ch3: Default, Out A
- Ch4: Default, Out A
- Ch5: Default, Out A
- Ch6: Default, Out A
- Ch7: Default, Out A
- And Ch8: Default, Out A
Doing a Jaws left click on the CH buttons will allow you to set the midi channel for each part.
You will also need to set the midi channel in the track view to correspond which what Omnisphere is doing.
Doing a jaws left mouse click on Default takes you to the browser for each part.
Once you’ve selected a patch for each part, Default is replaced by the patch name in the mixer view.
Doing a Jaws left mouse click on Out A, allows you to set which audio track is assigned to the part. So when you load in a new midi track, it’s important to select the all audio tracks option rather than single audio track. Also, you will need to insert 7 new midi tracks and set the outputs to Omnisphere so that you have 8 audio and 8 midi tracks set up for it.
Once you’ve set it up for the first time, just save it as a track template and there’s nothing else to do.
