Good news: Traded the MPC REN for MPC 4000. Time to buy OMNISPHERE 2.6.


Frack! :lol:

Man you had my hopes up high for that thing.
Dang a 4000? Hmmm
I thougt you had Omni 2.6. Are you going to try and mini that baby up with the 4000?


Never personally owned it. I have Keyscape from Spectrasonic. All hope for the project is not over, The 4000 footprint is almost the same, I just have to install Windows XP 64 Bit.

[quote="Danoc"]Hmmm. How do you feel about making two screens, one dedicated to windows and the other to the MPC. Run 2 mini mother boards in it?

Eric Persing built a huge keyboard with Omnisphere in it. That s**t looked dope. Thats why lm asking,

That's like 6 feet across If I did that I would have to seat 8 feet away, to maintain an equilateral triangle with my audio monitors. My eye level seating positions is 4 feet, I would have to mount those TV'S 2 feet off the floor to avoid back/neck issues. What do you do, to deal with the noise of the GPU, those 580 are 36 dB in quiet mode. :lol:

@danoc, How big is the Omnisphere 2.6 GUI?

You needs something like this from Steven Slate. The Audio Monitor are still to high for my liking in the second picture. I don't like my audio monitor to sit on the desk, due to reflection and vibrations they cause.

Omnisphere can change to different sizes. It would be ok for a 50 incher. It will look huge as fugg lol :lol:

In that triangle the ears should be line level with the monitors, the monitors also should be facing inwards. To get it perfect when you're sitting you look directly at the wolfer and you shouldn't be able to see both sides of the monitors. Once you have all these points you should be in a sweet spot. And the room tuned.

@Charles you should have seen the mod I did to my Open Labs Neko XXL. I went nuts. Bought it for less than $500 from a guy that didn’t want it anymore because the pc parts inside we’re old :-D . Upgraded everything, change some of panels and added my own stuff with stuff I had around. Maschine, faderport, 2 21 inch monitors attached to the back. By the time I was done someone came in to my studio saw it and bought it. I made twice what I put in it easy. I still got an Open labs Dbeat I have plans for :-D :-D

This is always a great reference document. It just seems like the dual 50 inch monitors is to wide and high.

Also looking at Omnisphere 2.6 hardware integrations, they put lots of work. Still now word about creating and important other devices. Have you tried to do it with the live yet?

Yeah l wrote about it. I said l didn't get it to work, probably my fault at hand.
But my LPD8 is working fine with it. I can midi learn with the 8 knobs on the LPD8 and do sick automation. I prefer the LPD8 over the live cause l have more knobs to work with. I think the X would be better cause it has more knobs.

Does OMNISPHERE 2.6 allow for you to save and export the settings of the LPD8?
