OMNISPHERE 2.6 WITH MPC LIVE/X 2.5 -OMG!

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. that console is over priced and a bit buggy i check one out when i was in Connecticut. Also i dont stare at the monitor also day and its at mixing high so ita okay for now.. i didnt want to pay 2 grand for 2 43inch curved monitors..

@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.

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

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.

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?

Bought it for less than $500 from a guy that didn’t want it anymore because the pc parts inside we’re old . 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

What OS in the openlab did you install?

Setting all that up takes up a lot of time too. And that's just one synth, I got Trillian and Sytlus RMX too. So Hardware profiles!?!?!?! Brilliant! I wish there was a MPC hardware profile, but I'll settle for a Novation Peak(on my list).

Meanwhile, that Kyra!?!?! Dope! But, Kijimi...if I can get my hands on that...I'll put my 4k on that horse!

I've had Omni sense it was Atmosphere and all I can say is, the worst thing about this synth is there is nothing out there that can really control everything it does...The hardware profiles are a genius move and really just speaks to the forward thinking at Spectrasonics. I wish more companies worked like they do.

I hate the MPC software so damn much, sorry Akai, it's still lacking clean performance, so I don't use control mode to operate Omni, instead I just use more arcane magic...plain ole midi. But, even then, certain buttons on Omni don't map to ****... you can only use mouse clicks...so I also use Bome translator along side Panorma T4.

I've been somewhat considering Omni (more so Keyscape) for a while, somewhat waiting on a sale. Spectrasonics does NOT have sales, EVER.

What about the MPC X's 16 Knobs, do you map them with MIDI learn?
