NAMM 2024Audiomovers announces OMNIBUS 3.0, with networking capability, greater flexibility and new UI

Audiomovers has announced OMNIBUS 3.0, a significant update to their audio routing software, which now includes enhanced networking capabilities, increased flexibility, and a revamped user interface. OMNIBUS introduces support for NDI and AVB network protocols in its latest version. This addition enables OMNIBUS 3.0 to facilitate seamless wireless audio routing between devices and machines by allowing communication with other OMNIBUS instances over these networks.

The update also expands the virtual device channel count, offering a range from 2 to 256 channels, catering to various user preferences and use cases. Further enhancing its versatility, OMNIBUS 3.0 allows engineers to customize the interface by adding or removing audio devices from both the list and the routing matrix, ensuring only relevant devices are visible.

A notable feature of OMNIBUS 3.0 is its ability to capture audio from specific applications, in addition to audio devices. This allows engineers to route application audio separately or combine it with other audio sources as needed, providing unparalleled flexibility in audio management.

Key new features of OMNIBUS 3.0 include:

• Networking support for AVB (with AVB-enabled hardware) and NDI audio, both wired and wireless.
• Flexible and robust audio routing capabilities with four virtual drivers supporting up to 256 channels, application capture, the ability to add only desired hardware/virtual drivers to the routing matrix, sample rate conversion, and smart buffer tracking.
• Integration with MIDI and Stream Deck, including MIDI program change support for snapshots and a Stream Deck plugin.
• UI improvements such as adjustable darkness levels for the matrix background, a Hot Snapshot Panel, and the ability to recall menus, add devices, and adjust channel counts as needed.

OMNIBUS 3.0 is slated for release in Q2 2024, with upgrade options available for existing OMNIBUS 2.0 owners.
