Omni Live is designed to turn an iPhone (or iPod Touch) into a simple, wireless remote control of Omnisphere’s 'Live Mode' page via the touch-screen interface on the small, portable devices. Since Omnisphere’s Live Mode already allows multiple sound selection, the iPhone’s multi-touch display makes a useful control surface - especially on the stage. Having remote control of the Live Mode page allows a player to sit remotely from their computer, at their MIDI’ed piano, or across the room at a MIDI controller and instantly choose a patch or combination of patches in the Live Mode page simply by touching the patch names on the iPhone display. The patch names are sent from Omnisphere wirelessly back to the iPhone. Setup is very simple, when Omnisphere is running on the computer and the iPhone is connected to the same wireless network, launching the 'Omni Live' App on the iPhone will find the host computer and allow wireless control of sound selection in Omnisphere’s Live Mode page. When sounds are selected in Omnisphere, the iPhone automatically gets updated wirelessly.
The 'Omni Live' iPhone remote control app works with Omnisphere 1.3 or newer on Mac OSX or Windows systems. Windows users must install Bonjour from Apple.
Visit the apple download site at:http://support.apple.com/downloads/
and search for 'Bonjour for Windows'. Download it and install. Enable Omni Live support in Omnisphere by turning on the 'Accept Omni Live Connections' option in Omnisphere's System page and reload Omnisphere. Start the Omni Live app on your iPhone which is connected to the same wifi network your PC is on, and connect.
