Omnisphere 2

Product Information

Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations. Paid Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance. Programs released under this license can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes. There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition - in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared. Free to Play

Omnisphere crowns the name “power synth” because it’s a piece of software that you can do almost anything with. Omnisphere is the flagship synthesizer of Spectrasonics - an instrument of extraordinary power and versatility. Top Artists all over the world rely on the app as an essential source of sonic inspiration. This award-winning software brings many different types of synthesis together into one amazing-sounding instrument that will spark a lifetime of exploration. Synth Oscillator with over 500 DSP waveforms and up to 20 oscillators per patch (can be either DSP synth or sample-based) While you can the Omnisphere library with a 5400RPM disk drive, it will cause the loading times to increase. We personally have it installed on a 5400RPM external drive and, at times, it’s almost unusable. This is not the case when using it on our main 7200RPM hard drive.This is apparently due to the nature of the instrument library and the size of it. Quite a poor excuse for such a massive company. There is definitely a way some kind of free trial could be implemented. Many other instruments with huge libraries are able to do this by adding white noise, or some kind of audio watermark to sounds.

This creates the possibility for constantly evolving and intruiging sounds – giving you an edge in your productions. Professional-grade FX, Modulation & Automation When talking about features and use cases, Omnisphere is the better choice. However, they are different instruments. Omnisphere is a sound design powerhouse, where Keyscape is the most realistic library of collector keyboards. If you want endless sound design possibilities, go with Omnisphere. If you want great piano sounds, go with Keyscape. Since the beginning, It has been the sonic weapon of choice for creative players and producers in search of next-level sounds on hit records, bestselling games, and Oscar-winning films. Omni sphere’s amazing sound library is constantly growing and being pushed in fresh directions by the award-winning Spectrasonics Sound Development Team. On top of all this, you can automate anything in Omnisphere. And, to make things easier, you can MIDI CC learn any knob to map to a controller of your choice. Arpeggiator The only downside to Omnisphere is the price and the amount of CPU it devours. Be wary if you don’t have a powerful enough computer to run it.

Unleash Omnisphere On Your Music

If you’re fairly new to synthesis you will find Omnisphere quite overwhelming. There are a lot more features included when compared to more common synths. And, if this is your first power synth, you’ll struggle a bit. It’s ideal to get both if you have the money. All Spectrasonics instruments work with Omnisphere, meaning you can use the sounds from Keyscape (or Trilian) in Omnisphere when creating sounds. Simply put, this ground-breaking feature makes using the program feel just like using a hardware synth! By bridging the physical experience gap between software and hardware, users gain intuitive control of the Omni sphere app by using the familiar layout of their supported hardware synth. Virtual instrument users can now experience the joy of the hardware synth workflow and hardware synth users can fully expand their capabilities into the vast sonic world of the app!

Alongside this, there are other useful things like the way in which your Omnisphere loads samples. You can alter the sample memory size and alter the pre-load memory + stream brake. This is less useful, but can help when your computer is a little slow. The Technical Stuff System Requirements Omnisphere Corporation is a professional trading company with four decades of experience in facilitating the global trade of paper and plastics. With the goal of bringing our partnering businesses closer to the suppliers that they depend on, we work to explore emerging global markets that present new opportunities for our clients.It is expensive so, we can understand why it may put some people off. And, that being said, it’s definitely not for beginners or people who don’t understand synthesis. But, after 3 years of use, I can’t recommend Omnisphere enough. Time and time again I find myself reaching for Omnisphere when I want intriguing and unique sounds. You can also use these FX as individual inserts on singular parts, or you can apply processing to the entire 8 parts of your patch, using the clever bussing system found in the “multi” window. After creating an already textured patch, using only the oscillator functions and sound library, you can expand on this even further, choosing from 58 professional-grade FX. With Omnisphere you’ll have access to delays, reverbs, weird inner reverbs, amps, distortion, analog chorus and phasing effects + a whole lot more. When you have a lower number of instances open, it’ll be far tamer – and, it’s really once you start to get into the more intricate sound design, with more layers, effects and modulation, where CPU will become a problem. This is a huge selling point for anyone who has a hardware synth. Omnisphere is fully mapped to work with over 50 synths, meaning you can use the filters on your synth to control the filters on Omnisphere, the waveshape dials to control the waveshape selection etc.

When talking about SSDs vs HDDs, it’s best to install any sound library on an SSD. This will load rapidly, and won’t cause any lag in your sessions. Features of Omnisphere & What Makes it Worth it Sound Library, Presets, Oscillators, Wavetables & Layers Then, you can add further movement to your patches using the vast modulation capabilities that are available on all 4 oscillators. The modulation section allows you to modulate anything your heart desires with LFOs, envelopes, foot controller, mod wheel and more. Not only do the 4 oscillators come with a huge range of digital and analog wavetables, but they offer incredible functionality to alter the sound of the recorded samples included with Omnisphere too. Omnipshere is a CPU eating beast. It’s also pretty heavy on your RAM and can be extremely slow if you don’t have a fast enough hard drive. It’s recommended that you install it on an SSD for the fastest loading speeds.Although the system requirements say you’ll only need a dual-core processor, we think this is pretty misleading. You wouldn’t be able to run Omnisphere inside a DAW, with other instrumentation going on and have a fun, freeze-free time. For a power synth, Omnisphere’s interface is actually very appealing and un-overwhelming when compared to something like Falcon. It’s easy to navigate, and you’ll find yourself at home creating synths in Omnisphere in no time. Expanding on this, Omnisphere offers 8 different instances of these 4 oscillators… can you see how powerful this is getting now? There’s a separate “multi” window that provides level mixing for these instances, with options to add FX to each layer independently or add the FX to buses – almost acting as a fully-fledged DAW/synth hybrid. There are also other cool features like micro tuning, options to glide all oscillators (sounds amazing for dissonant chords), velocity curve settings and options to increase or decrease the voice number of the whole patch.
