Spectrasonics

collapse expand iconDescription

The Omnisphere 2.6 from Spectrasonics is the flagship synthesizer—an instrument of extraordinary power and versatility. This award-winning software brings synthesis together into one amazing-sounding instrument that will spark a lifetime of exploration. Omnisphere 2.6 comes with a vast array of synthesis possibilities, including the ability to import your own audio content as a sound source inside Omnisphere giving you limitless sound-creation possibilities using your own sample library.

Vast New Synthesis Possibilities for Endless Sound Design

Omnisphere 2.6 offers over 400 DSP waveforms for the synth oscillator, which is 100 times more than the original version and each waveform is now a Morphing Wavetable with vast new possibilities and tones. A patch can have up to 10 oscillators and each oscillator can have its own wavetable, allowing for incredibly complex sounds. The Granular Synthesis algorithm will allow you to completely transform the included content or morph your own audio into unimaginable soundscapes.

Over 10,000 Professionally Designed Patches and Soundsources

Omnisphere 2.6 comes with over 10,000 patches and Soundsources from the acclaimed Spectrasonics Sound Design Team in a variety of categories. There are exclusive Soundsources from Diego Stocco's custom-built instruments, innovative Psychoacoustic Soundsources, melodic cave stalactites Soundsources and hundreds of Circuit Bent Soundsources. The possibilities for inspiration are endless.

Seamless Hardware Synth Integration

Omnisphere 2.6 is the only software synth in the world to offer Hardware Synth Integration, which transforms over 65 hardware synths into extensive hands-on controllers. This feature makes using Omnisphere 2.6 feel just like using a hardware synth. Virtual instrument users can now experience the joy of the hardware synth workflow and hardware synth users can fully expand their capabilities.

High-Quality Effects and Interface

Omnisphere 2.6 features 25 new effects, including vintage modulation effects, distortion and EQs. There are also hundreds of new effects presets and racks available. The updated interface has a new Show Modulation pane, Mini-Browser and enhanced browsing experience to help you find the right sounds quickly. Features like Sound Match and Sound Lock make customizing your sounds easier than ever.

    The packaging is beautiful, and was a fairly quick and simple installation process. You get access to over 14,000 preset sounds, and you can customize pretty much anything in the plugin.

    I like anything that Eric and the Spectrasonics team puts out. I've only had this for several weeks and there are tons of great sounds to play with. The programming and sounds are top shelf as is the ease of use. I only wish I had purchased this earlier so I could have had the amazing sounds in my music sooner.
