Spectrasonics Omnisphere

Spectrasonics Omnisphere is finally here after much to-do, and after sampling lightbulbs, recording burning pianos, most likely traveling through time to capture some of the sounds we miss traveling through space at a constant velocity and carrying out a bunch of other inventive recording techniques that nobody in their right minds would even consider, we get a look at it. Diego Stocco, one of the main men behind all of the crazy work that went into the Omnisphere is able to give us a rundown on how to take advantage of all these complex, incredible sounds within the program, and I have to say that it's surprisingly intuitive.

I hope the patches are arranged in logical groupings. Otherwise it seems like you could spend days searching for the right sounds.

It's actually worth far more than $500. The resources used to create this instrument...the research/researchers. It's endless in it's possibilities. If you had a hardware synth with the same capabilities, it's would be in the 5k range at least. I've had the instrument for over a year, and I've still barely scratched the surface. Enjoy!

dude a hardware version already exists: it's called a midi keyboard + a few rolls of duct tape and maybe some screws and nails here and there for added awesomeness.

Omnispere has it's own built in search engine so you live long enough to use it. Forget a hardware version it would have to be a top of the line Korg workstation with an Intel Core i7 6GB Ram PC built into it.

I'd say that a hardware synth with these capabilities would be impossible to even build for less than 5K and it would be more like a mixing console with a keyboard attached. This is so not just a piece of software, it is an encyclopedia of what tone synthesis is. If you just see this as a sound source or a piece of software, you've either not heard it or you don't have a clue. $500 is an absolute steal.

what geneleccs are they?
