Omnisphere

The architecture allows for up to eight independent "Parts" (instruments) running simultaneously, each with its own arpeggiator and modulation. Inside a single patch, you might have a grand piano sample being mangled by granular synthesis, layered with a rhythmic noise loop, all filtered through a modeled analog filter.

Each patch can combine up to (A and B), and each layer can have up to four oscillators , creating a potential for extraordinarily complex timbres. omnisphere

Version 2.8 introduced a game-changer that is often overlooked: Hardware Synth Integration. Spectrasonics realized that many producers have hardware synths gathering dust. | Product | Key Difference | Price Range
