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).

Omnisphere 2.5, an impressive update for an already impressive virtual instrument – the best part: it’s a free update for all Omnisphere 2 users. By Alex Arsov, Nov. First of all, Omnisphere 2.5 is a free update for all Omnisphere 2 users. Secondly, the enhancements make this already legendary synth even better, if this is even possible. At Superbooth 2018, Spectrasonics proudly announced a major update of our flagship software synthesizer Omnisphere®.With the new version 2.5, Omnisphere enters a new era by becoming the first software synth in the world to offer a Hardware Synth Integration feature, which transforms well-known hardware synthesizers into extensive hands-on controllers for unlocking Omnisphere’s newly. Which controller/synth lets you control the most of omnisphere 2? And if it is a synth, something that is a great addition and not useless to a setup with Omnisphere 2. I was planning to buy the VirusTI2 and use the both together, but im still exploring some good options. As to be expected, you get chorus, and delay effects among others, as well as the ability to use MIDI learn to control your software device. Many people overwhelmingly consider this the absolute best free VST synth on the freeware market. The Minimoog sounds featured in Omnisphere are great, so it’d be awesome to give this a whirl.

Benoit Besson
Hi,
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.
=> 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 :-)
