Zoom into the filterВ section, for instance, and you get full control of both filters for each layer, with 32 modes available for each. Omnisphere wisely avoids trying to cram everything into a single window user interface, instead choosing to include a handful of key parameters on the main page, with the deeper options hidden behind вЂzoomвЂ™ buttons. The easiest way to get to grips with the synthesis options in Omnisphere is to start with a preset and then navigate your way around the interface to discover the features.

PersingвЂ™s claim rings true here, with the granular synth optionВ in particular qualifying as a hugely powerful synthesis approach in itsВ own right.

Omnisphere now also allows you to import audio files as custom soundsources, hugely expanding its potential for creating sample-based instruments, but also tying into synthesis options such as theВ improved FM and ring mod options, Harmonia and the granular synthesis sections, creating a uniquely powerful synth.В ItвЂ™s a measure of Omnisphere 2вЂ™s power, depth and flexibility that we can only really scratch the surface of the synthesis options in a review. Perhaps the biggest and most impressive updates come in the oscillatorВ section.В For each layer, the oscillators can be set to Sample or Synth mode, with the former allowing you to choose from the thousands of built-in samples (вЂsoundsourcesвЂ™) and the latter offering hundreds of modelledВ synth waveforms (everything from analogue classics like the Minimoog and Juno-106 through to digital wavetables and analogue вЂtimbresвЂ™). Each of the two layers features two filters, six envelope generators (one for amplitude, one for filter cutoff and four per part for modulation), six LFOs per part and an extensive modulation matrix. Far from it.В ItвЂ™s worth taking a step back and considering how Omnisphere 2вЂ™s synth engine works in order to understand what it can do.В At its heart, Omnisphere is essentially a highly specialised dual-layer synth with sample- or DSP-based oscillatorsВ feeding into what can be loosely interpreted as a subtractive synth architecture. Thanks toВ the extensive preset options, youВ could almost be forgiven for thinking Omnisphere was all about presets, but youвЂ™d be missing out on the bigger picture.В ItвЂ™s true to say that you could easily spend a good few months doing nothing but auditioning factory patches, but itвЂ™s not just a plug-and-play preset machine. The same is true for other categories, with a huge, varied selection of strings, synths, percussive sounds and brassВ among others.В Altogether thereВ are more thanВ 4,500 new patches, bringing the grand total to over 12,000 (the updated areas include a huge new вЂSpotlight вЂ“ EDMвЂ™ library).ДЄt its heart, Omnisphere is a dual-layer synth with sample- or DSP-based oscillators feeding into what can be loosely interpreted as a specialised subtractive synth architecture A quick look through the presets explains why itвЂ™s such a hefty install: the sheer rangeВ of sample-based instrumentsВ on offer is almost overwhelming.В There are, for instance, 26 different categories (Types, in Spectrasonics-speak) of bell sounds, fromВ Bells Analog to Bells Digital (and a separate Digital Bells category), via more obscure options like Bells Gothic and tempo-synced BPM Bells. The overwhelming majority of that disk space is of course required for sample content.

Omnisphere is supplied on a mere eight DVDs, requiring 64GB of free hard disk space for an installation process that can take up to five hours.

To say that this is a heavyweight synth is an understatement. While thereвЂ™s still a huge amount of content that will lend itself to cinematicВ use вЂ“ dramatic strings, ominous atmospheres and the like вЂ“ Spectrasonics have broadened the remit substantially for version 2, not only in terms of the styles of sound on offer, but also the synthesis options themselves. Omnisphere is a hybrid synth which is probably best known as a go-to option for soundtrack composers. Spectrasonics claim it'll take a lifetime to explore the possibilities of Omnisphere.
