The list of instruments and other sound sources that have been sampled for Omnisphere, by the way on the Spectrasonics website available - an impressive collection of synthesizers! If that is not enough for you, you can also load your own samples (but not multisamples) into Omnisphere and send them through the engine. This also explains the installation size of Omnisphere: The plug-in confiscated a full 64GB on your hard drive and has thus increased again compared to the first version. The supplied sample library is also gigantic. Among the selection of over 400 of these "DSP waveforms" you can of course also find FM and wavetables, which further expands the sound palette So you will not only find sampled waveforms from synth classics such as Roland Jupiter-8 or Oberheim OB-8, but also waveforms from the same synthesizer modeled with the in-house engine. Omnisphere's oscillators / sound generators are divided into two areas: sample and synth. One thing is certain: the selection is huge and covers a huge tonal range. Mass instead of class? You can decide that, you can find sound examples in the practical part. Spectrasonics advertises Omnisphere 2 Free Download with the gigantic number of over 12,000 presets. But just a look at the list of features gives an idea of how extensive this package is.

The sporty purchase price of 399 € may put off one or the other.

Omnisphere is one of them and, with its long service life, is in good company with the other Spectrasonics products, because even sibling products such as the Trilian bass library are still considered first-class after many years. But there are always some that last a long time and are widely used. Synthesizer plug-ins are a dime a dozen and it feels like a new one appears every day. Omnisphere 2 has been on the market for some time now and we want to see whether the new version can continue the success story. With its sound supply and its possibilities, Omnisphere was quickly considered THE synthesizer plug-in and developed into a "must have" for every keyboard player and producer. With the first edition of Omnisphere, the company Spectrasonics, founded by sampling guru Eric Persing, built on a big name, because the plug-in was the consistent further development of Atmosphere.
