Omnisphere 2.6 software synth includes a hot new Hardware Library with over 1,600 new patches created by Eric Pershing 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 and Omnisphere patches 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, sound design, 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 2.6 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 2.6 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.
