Hardware Synth Integration

Omnisphere is the only software synth in the world to offer a Hardware Synth Integration feature. This remarkable innovation transforms over 65 well-known hardware synthesizers into extensive hands-on controllers that unlock Omnisphere’s newly expanded synthesis capabilities. Simply put, this ground-breaking feature makes using Omnisphere feel just like using a hardware synth! By bridging the physical experience gap between software and hardware, users gain intuitive control of Omnisphere 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 Omnisphere!

Great example of the depth and quality of sound Omnisphere has. This was recorded completely dry and was played in real time with no overdubs. Mysterious Movement - Richard Souther This is a beautiful short demo of the Mysterious Movement patch. Omnisphere 2.6 - What's New. New Hardware Sound Library Omnisphere 2.6 includes a stunning new “Hardware Library” with over 1,600 new patches created by Eric Persing and the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development team. Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere.

• Bang for buck
• Overall:

Spectrasonics Omnisphere is a rich, powerful sample-based synthesizer loaded with the best sounding presets in the business. An intuitive user interface pulls together just about everything you need to make great music right out of the box, and a set of simple video tutorials walk users through the ins and outs of the most powerful features.
Omnisphere has been a staple of the film and TV scoring, but its wide variety of synth patches cover almost any genre outside of traditional sampled acoustic instruments (you won't find a normal grand piano here), so while Omnisphere can likely fill all of your synthesizer needs, you will still need a sampler to complete your synth rack.
Several things set Omnisphere apart from the rest of the field:

• Omnisphere’s vast library is unparalleled in size, scope, and sound quality. If Spectrasonics does anything well, it’s giving customers their money’s worth and then some. Spectrasonics has regularly expanded the library with hundreds of extra patches at no charge to its existing customers. In fact, there’s ben only one paid expansion and 100% of the proceeds were donated to the Bob Moog foundation.
• Omnisphere has one of the simplest and most intuitive catalog browsers on the market, allowing you to easily browse or search for the perfect sound.
• With the Orb, you can use your iPad to control the sound in realtime. Even without an iPad, you can use the Orb to create unique sounds from existing patches with no synthesis know-how.
• Omnisphere includes a flexible routing system allowing just about any control to be modulated by anything else. Heck, you can even modulate a modulator.

Omnisphere also includes a professional-grade effects rack, easy to use envelope section which can be used as an incredibly rich trance-gate, and arpeggiator, all of which can be used on individual layers or globally for the patch.

Omnisphere Sound Banks

Omnisphere acts as a multi-rack instrument, allowing you to load 8 patches per instance. It includes a live and stack mode (controllable via iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch as well).
