I’ve kept every boxed program I’ve gotten in the last 10 years - they’re all in my studio closet, and Omnisphere is not there. It was a few years ago - but I’m quite certain that I never got a boxed product sent to me for Omnisphere. But other than that, they both have excellent filter and FX capabilities. Omnisphere using the software and soundsource library updates. So some old filters are common between the two. seldom used trick but great results is to grab any WAV file and use it as the IR and place the convo reverb on top of a virtual instrument like a cello patch, set to 100 wet and play a few long line. also, u can make your own with convolution. Omni doesn't suffer from this.Īlso note that if you remember the predecessor of Omnisphere, Atmosphere, this was actually running on UVI's engine. Re: Omnisphere and Absynth yep, dont like absynth either for that. I wouldnt just get Kontakt, Id get Komplete 5 on eBay for 150-200 bux. This means that if you have a patch that has lots of samples, it freezes the GUI until everything is loaded. Kontact 7 Komplete 5-7 offer a lot more than omnisphere and cost the same or less depending on which version you pick. In Falcon you can properly multisample, with round-robins, velocity layers, the whole nine yards.įalcon doesn't support multicore processing, and doesn't have background loading like Omnisphere does. In Omnisphere you can only drop a single sample of your own to process (usually with granular, but not necessarily). Falcon is extremely flexible, moreso than Omnisphere (unlimited modulators, scripting), and supports multisampling. In addition, keeping in mind that the update is a finished redesign, it keeps those, which were acceptable about the first also a rundown of new highlights that is nearly up to a completely fledged DAW overhaul. Go with Omnisphere if you want absolutely phenomenal raw soundsources (it's Eric Persing after all, you can consider Omnisphere like JD-990 on drugs). Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 went through a decent seven years updating Omnisphere.

I wouldn't just get Kontakt, I'd get Komplete 5 on eBay for 150-200 bux. There are lots of similarities but also lots of differences. Kontact 7 Komplete 5-7 offer a lot more than omnisphere and cost the same or less depending on which version you pick.
