Omnisphere includes 600 new patches, expanded hardware synth integration, and arpeggiator upgrades such as new Pattern modes, step dividers, pitch slides, and the ability to alter chord voicings and inversions per step.

Omnisphere's powerful synthesis engine is loaded with over 14,000 beastly sounds with four layers per patch, 57 powerful FX Units, and more ways to create original sounds than you can imagine. New features include potent Granular, Harmonia, Innerspace synth engines; the ability to intuitively zoom into deeper synthesis levels; Hardware Synth Integration, which transforms over 30 popular synthesizers into hands-on controllers that unleash Omnisphere’s full sonic firepower; and much more. And to accompany Omnisphere's expanded capabilities is a new re-sizable, high-resolution interface that puts the sounds you want and the tools you need to tweak them in your hands faster than ever before.

New Hardware Sound Library

Omnisphere includes a hot new Hardware Library with over 1,600 new patches created by Eric Persing and the acclaimed Spectrasonics sound development team. Every hardware profile has a corresponding soundset in the Hardware Library, specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere controller. These inspiring sounds cover a wide range of categories and many have a distinctly "classic analog" vibe. The new sounds are available to all users, whether you're using the hardware or not.

Never, ever run out of amazing sounds

The awesome power and versatility of Spectrasonics' flagship soft synth have established it as the sonic weapon of choice for musicians and producers who need a massive arsenal of next-level sounds for records, games, and film scores. While the prospect of commanding this much synthesis power might be intimidating, you can forget about starting from scratch or even investing a whole lot of time into tweaking your sounds: if you just want to be able to call up a patch and make music, Spectrasonics Omnisphere has you covered.

Omnisphere rocks a killer sound library with over 14,000 patches organized in such a way that you can quickly find the kind of sound you're looking for. Then you also have all kinds of unique and specialized sounds to look forward to, including a library of exciting EDM patches, exclusive Soundsources from Diego Stocco's custom-built instruments, circuit-bent tones, and psychoacoustic effects. Spectrasonics' award-winning sound development team even went so far as to sample the melodic sound of the stalactites hanging in a radioactive cave in eastern Europe, just to give Omnisphere its unique edge.

Synthesis tools let you create any sound you can imagine

What if you want to dive in? In that case, hang on to your hat! Whether it's Omnisphere's Audio Import function, which lets you use your own audio as oscillator sources, or 500 morphing-wavetable-based DSP waveforms for the Synth Oscillator, there's no denying the sheer sound-shaping power this virtual instrument has to offer. There's a totally new granular synthesis engine onboard, too, plus seriously upgraded FM/ring mod, filter, unison, arpeggiation, and modulation options, all of which let you create cooler sounds than ever. Even if you're not a synthesis guru, the ability to borrow effects, arpeggiator, and other settings from one patch to the next is golden.

Enhance your sounds with loads of killer effects

There's another great way to tweak your tones in Omnisphere: effects — tons and tons of effects, to be specific. For starters, Omnisphere boasts a total of 57 FX Units, any 16 of which can be deployed simultaneously. Many of the newer FX Units, such as the Hi-wattage and Metalzone Distortion, are modeled after guitar amplifiers and stompbox effects, but there are also freaky cool effects like the Solina Ensemble, plus a complete suite of analog modeling processors to choose from. What's more, each FX Slot supports matrix modulation, and there are hundreds of new FX Presets and Racks to play with.

Preserve every musical idea with Flow Capture

Few things are more frustrating than losing a spontaneous musical idea while you set up your DAW to record it. That's why Spectrasonics created Flow Capture. This revolutionary feature enables you to record an entire performance — the full audio, MIDI, and sound settings — directly from the standalone Keyscape application. What's more, the created files are auto-named and timestamped for added convenience. You also get full control over tempo with an adjustable metronome, and tap tempo can be MIDI learned for live performance synchronization. Thanks to Flow Capture, every one of your spur-of-the-moment creative ideas will be preserved.

Omnisphere

I purchased the upgrade from Omnisphere to version 2. Well, I haven't even upgraded yet, but I know I'm going to love it. I have been using Omnisphere 1.x.x and it's a powerhouse for just about anything. For me, Ethereal & Ambient. I use it along beside my Roland JD-990, and many other hardware & software synths.

Let me rephrase. I use it a LOT! My only excuse not updating yet, is I need a larger hard drive
Music background: 23 years Ambient, Ethereal, World & classical, oft times fused.

Omnisphere Rules!

Spectrasonics makes truly incredible software, and the 2.0 version of Omnisphere did not disappoint! Having recently upgraded to a newer Mac with a faster processor, I could finally upgrade to Omnisphere 2.0, which wouldn't run on my early 2009 Mac Pro, due to the processors not being up to the task. The breadth and depth of this synthesis software is massive, and it is a pure joy just perusing the over 10,000 plus sounds. The complexity of some of these sounds makes serious demands on your computer's processor, and in Omnisphere 1.0 I experienced some latency issues with some of the more complex sounds. In Version 2.0, I'm not having any latency issues with my newer, faster, Mac. This software is well worth the price, and with such a huge collection of sounds, many of which are unique to Omnisphere, this is my primary, go-to "soft-synth". Tech support at Spectrasonics is really great, and I love using their products. My only warning is to those who may be using older computers: be sure your computer is up to the task of running Omnisphere 2.0!

Omnisphere 2 Upgrade is Fantastic!

I have been saving up for this upgrade for quite awhile and finally ordered it. It came in the mail from Sweetwater and the package contains the Upgrade Code from Spectrasonics. I love Sweetwater and I am blown away by the quality and magnitude of the sounds within Omnisphere! Regarding my order at Sweetwater, once again Aaron Tremain did a great job answering my questions about this upgrade and in processing my order. Aaron always goes the extra steps to make sure my orders are processed fast and correctly. And when Aaron is off for a day, others at Sweetwater step in to help me. a great company and prices! Omnisphere is the best virtual synth in my opinion. If you don't have it - just jump in and buy it. You will be amazed.

Omnisphere 2

Omnisphere Rocks!!!

I have used Omnisphere (and Trilian) for 5 years. I am still learning new things I never new about it's capabilities as it is readily accessible to the beginner while still remaining a deep, super powerful synth for more serious synth patch creators / programmers. I just use the stock patches as there are so many. To me, there can never be too many sounds. Now, with v2 they are gonna be easier to find. Stunning world class quality sound sure to jazz up any bland song mix with some fast creative touches.
