![]() ![]() ![]() Omnisphere's huge sound library and synthesis engine becomes even more powerful if you have one of the supported hardware synths. Apart from Absynth I don't know any plugin that does this well, and in fact, Omnisphere does this a lot better, I think, because it's synthesis engine is so much simpler to use. They offered kinda realistic recreations of real instruments, but really excelled at creating hybrid sounds: subtractive synthesis based on samples. I've always loved the sound of the Roland D-50 and Korg Wavestations. Omnisphere does one thing very well that not many VST's offer nowadays. Spectrasonics warns us that using multiple instances will cause extra overhead, so I was glad to find that setting up a multi in Omnisphere is really very easy. I'd rather open new instances on new tracks, because that way every instrument has it's own track in my DAW and I can easily sculpt the sound further with other plugins. Usually I'm not a fan of multi timbral VST's. You can create whole soundscapes from a short field recording or a sample from a record. You can however import your samples and use them for granular synthesis and that I really love. I'm fine with that as I never use my own samples to create realistic instruments anyway. Omnisphere is not a sampler, meaning you can't use your own samples and create complicated keymaps, switches or round robin setups. I'd don't think I'd buy these effects to mix with, but as a complement to the sound engine I think they're fine. A big bunch of effects really put the icing on the cake. All go through a subtractive synthesis engine that allows you to sculpt the sound to your liking. There's an extremely large amount of sampled "soundsources" available plus a very decent amount of modeled analog waveforms. If you want a complete review you better head over to the Sound on Sound website and make sure you read the manual! This is also just a very personal opinion on Omnisphere and the reasons why, for me, it's a great product. This is not a complete description of all Omnisphere can do. ![]()
