Omnisphere 2

Product Information

When you combine Omnisphere with Keyscape, this completely changes, giving you access to a huge library of some of the most professional-sounding, realistic sampled pianos. Combine this with Trilian, and you get realistic bass and guitar samples. Layering these sounds with Omnisphere’s vast library of wavetables, FX and filters really start to open the world of possibilities in terms of sound design. You can additionally export the arpeggiator patterns as a MIDI file and use it to play your other instruments that aren’t Omnisphere. 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.

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.

What Makes Our Sales Engineers Great?

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. 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.

Synth Oscillator with over 500 DSP waveforms and up to 20 oscillators per patch (can be either DSP synth or sample-based) 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.Omnisphere crowns the name “power synth” because it’s a piece of software that you can do almost anything with. Audio Import lets you drag-and-drop your own audio file to use as a sound source, which can then be processed with synthesis features 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. 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. 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.
