Omnia-6ex Use and Operation Manual – V: 1.2086Chapter-6: Remote Control SoftwareThe Omnia Remote Control software is a Windows (Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, Win2k) software program that allowsremote access to the Omnia-6EX processor adjustment using any PC running the aforementioned versions ofMicrosoft Windows©. Note that remote software for the Omnia-6EX is unique to that product, and versions ofOmnia Remote Control for our other audio processors will not work with Omnia-6EX. The latest version of Omnia-6EX Remote Control Software is always available free of charge by pointing your web browser to the “Support”page of our web site: www.omniaaudio.com.The Omnia 6 Remote Control application looks very similar to the actual front panel of the Omnia 6. Before itconnects to the Omnia, the words “OFF LINE” will be displayed where the Preset Name and System Time will bedisplayed once the remote connection is made. All metering activity is also at idle.Omnia 6 Remote Control as it appears on your computer screenSoftware InstallationInstallation is simply a matter of putting a copy of O6RemoteXXX.exe into the folder name of your choosing, andrunning it from that location. This file is the actual raw executable so there is no “installer” and no permanentchanges are made to your computer system or to your Windows registry.Using standard Windows procedures, create a new folder by the name you wish to use, and place a copy of“O6RemoteXXX.exe” in that folder. You can then also create a desktop shortcut to that executable if desired.When the program is freshly installed but has not yet been run, “O6RemoteXXX.exe” is the only file in thespecified folder. However, the first time that the program is run, it will create a small new file called “connect.dat”,which contains your connection type information. When you first run the Omnia-5EX Remote Control program,there is no “connect.dat” file yet, so you will receive the error message “No connection database. Creating newdatabase”. This is normal and is no cause for concern.Note: When you install Omnia Remote Control software updates, you should move the old version and itsassociated connect.dat file to a new folder. This way, conflicts with different versions of the connect.dat databasewill be avoided. If you wish, the old version’s folder can be safely deleted once the update is complete. You willalso want to use unique folder names for each copy of other Omnia remote control programs if you have thoseinstalled. Please note that the remote control programs themselves, as well as their associated connect.dat files areunique for each version of the Omnia Classic, Omnia 3, Omnia-5EX, Omnia-6EX and Omnia Toolvox.
