Virtual software (plugin) instrument for applications such as Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton LIVE, Nuendo, Fruity Loops, Acid Pro and other sequencers. (Sonar 2.0 needs a VST wrapper)
The future has already begun - synthesis - composition - production - live playing !
The "flagship" that Spectrasonics has been working on for many years. This impressive instrument completely sets new possibilities and directions in the music world. The combination and wide variety of synthesizer techniques and algorithms can also be used for live playing. The remarkable psychoacoustic sounds and many innovative technologies have elevated this instrument above all previous software and hardware synthesizers and samplers.
"It was a monstrous project", says company director and founder Eric Persing. Many years of experimentation, development and searching for new directions in audio engineering led to the creation of the core "STEAM Engine". It was the work of sound masters, engineers and graphic designers around the world - a one-page, easy-to-use but extremely powerful tool that set the next direction for the development of synthesizers.
Performance over all, it is very easy to work with Omnisphere immediately. The user interface allows for more detailed insight by "zooming", for precise customization of the sound being used. It's a feature for downright expert editing, which is more likely to be used by music engineers. One can go ever deeper into the core and the synthesis process. You can use the video lessons (tutorial) on the spectrasonics.net website for learning.
Omnisphere is a hybrid synthesizer with technologies such as Variable Waveshaping DSP synthesis, Granular Synthesis, Timbre Shifting, FM, polyphonic ring modulator, high-resolution streaming Sample Playback, Harmonia™, Dual Multimode Filter structure, Chaos Envelopes™, innovative Unisono, Flex-Mod™ modulation interconnect system.
The vast sound library has been built up over many years using a variety of techniques. Spectrasonics has explored different ways of sampling and has also used i.e. psychoacoustic sounds for maximum variety and tonal range. The sound blending methods used, the Composite Morphing Technique (CMT), have produced many almost unexpected results and possibilities. The combination of various advanced syntheses with sampled sounds has created a uniquely inspiring instrument.
Other unique features include arpeggiators with synchronization (Groove Lock) and integration with percussion loops in Stylus RMX. "Live" mode allows for real-time work and editing, Stack mode organization and mapping, and the modular effects RACK is a significant part of the package.
Omnisphere is based on the original popular Atmosphere software and includes its enhanced sounds. But it is 10x more extensive with thousands of completely new sounds. An upgrade to the current version is available for registered users of the previous version of Omnisphere.
Omnisphere is a cross-platform software for Apple Macintosh and OS X 10.8 as a native Universal Binary and for Windows Vista/7/8. Audio Units, VST and RTAS formats allow use as a plug-in with most well-known audio applications (Pro Tools, Cubase/Nuendo, Logic).
