omniGRID makes no soundUpdated 6 days ago

omniGRID does not contain sounds. It sends MIDI notes to another instrument.

  1. Put omniGRID on one track and your instrument on a second track.
  2. Set the instrument's MIDI input to omniGRID itself. In Ableton that is the second menu under MIDI From, not Pre FX and not Post FX.
  3. Turn monitoring on for the instrument track.
  4. Press Play in the DAW, or press Play inside omniGRID.

In Bitwig and REAPER you can place omniGRID above the instrument on the same track.

If there is still no sound, check that the Note boxes match the instrument, that the lanes are not muted or soloed, and that Prob is not at zero. The Gain knob changes the velocity of the notes, not the instrument's volume. A drum rack often follows velocity. Many synths, including Drift, stay quiet until you map velocity to volume inside the instrument.
