Omega hardware on either Windows® Vista, Windows XP or Mac® OSX computer systems. Please follow these
instructions carefully to ensure smooth installation of each of these components.
OMEGA STUDIO™ FOR WINDOWS® VISTA AND XP USERS
A. INSTALLING THE LEXICON USB DRIVERS, CUBASE® LE 4, AND PANTHEON
PLUG-IN
You must install the USB drivers to use your Lexicon Omega’s USB connection with your computer. During the
installation process, you will have the option of installing Cubase LE 4 and the Pantheon reverb plug-in. Follow
the on-screen directions to successfully install these items.
1. Disconnect the Omega hardware from you computer if it is connected and close any open programs, win-
dows, and cancel any open dialog boxes.

3. The installer should automatically run. If it doesn’t, select Start>Run (XP) or Start>All
Programs>Accessories>Run (Vista) and type in D:\setup.exe (where D:\ is the letter of your CD
ROM drive) and click OK.
4. Once the installer begins, follow the on screen instructions to complete the software installation.
5. Once installation is completed, continue to Section B - Setup Windows Audio and MIDI to configure
the newly installed software.
B. SETUP WINDOWS AUDIO AND MIDI (Optional)
When the Lexicon USB Audio and MIDI drivers were installed, Windows may have automatically selected them
as your default audio and MIDI outputs. This means that your Windows sounds will be sent to the Omega
rather than your computer’s sound card. We need to check if these have been changed and return the settings
to what they were before.
1. Select Start>Control Panel>Sound and Audio Devices (XP) or Hardware and Sound
(Vista).
2. Select the Audio tab (XP) or Manage Audio Devices (Vista).
3. Under Sound Playback>Default device (XP), or Playback (Vista), make sure your computer’s sound
card is selected as the default device..
4. Under Sound Recording>Default device (XP), or Recording (Vista), make sure your computer’s
sound card is selected as the default device.
5. Under MIDI Music Playback>Default device, open the pull-down menu and make sure your MIDI
device is selected as the default device (XP only).
C. USING CUBASE LE 4 WITH THE LEXICON OMEGA STUDIO
1. Start Cubase LE 4. The first time you use Cubase LE 4 with the Lexicon Omega Studio you may be asked to
run the Multimedia test as shown below. Select No.

3. Once you are into Cubase, go to Devices>Device Setup.
4. Under Devices, click on VST Audio System and select Omega ASIO from the ASIO Driver pull-down
menu if it is not already selected. Click on Switch to switch the driver and click OK. You are now ready to
begin recording using your Omega StudioTM and Cubase LE 4.
