Chapter 8: Remote Control for fm Turbo
This chapter only covers Omnia-3 Remote version 3.4.0 and greater, which only supports the fm Turbo style.
Please see chapter 9 for a description of the Remote Control for
am
and
net
styles.
The Omnia Remote Control software is a Windows (Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, Win2k, WinXP) software
program that allows remote access to the Omnia-3 processor adjustment using any PC running the
aforementioned versions of Microsoft Windows

. Note that remote software for the Omnia-3 is unique to that
product, and versions of Omnia Remote Control for our other audio processors will not work with Omnia-3.
Further, any older version of the Remote will not work with the Omnia-3fm Turbo. The latest version of
Omnia-3 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-3fm Turbo Remote Control application has a very similar look-and-feel to the Remotes for the
Omnia-5 and Omnia-6. Before it connects to the Omnia, the words “OFF LINE” will be displayed where the
Preset Name and System Time will be displayed once the remote connection is made. All metering activity is
also at idle.

Software Installation
Installation is simply a matter of putting a copy of
O3remoteXXX.exe
into the folder name of your choosing,
and running it from that location. This file is the actual raw executable so there is no “installer” and no
permanent changes 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
“
O3remoteXXX.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, “
O3remoteXXX.exe”
is the only file in the
specified 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-3fm Turbo
Remote Control program, there is no “connect.dat” file yet, so you will receive the error message “No
connection database. Creating new database”. This is normal and is no cause for concern.
