Spectrasonics Omnisphere Power Synth VST Virtual Instrument

After many years of development, Spectrasonics are proud to release the flagship virtual instrument Omnisphere. The Power Synth breaks completely new sonic ground by combining a wide variety of hybrid realtime synthesis techniques, an epic library of remarkable Psychoacoustic sounds and many innovative features that have never been seen before in any hardware or software synthesizer. The Power Synth instrument is the first to be based on Spectrasonics Steam Engine.

This is truly an epic project, said Eric Persing, founder and creative director of Spectrasonics. Spectra have been working for many, many years; sampling unique sounds, experimenting, specifying the synthesis features and building the Steam Engine to run it all. It's been a very exciting process involving Spectrasonics' team of software engineers, sound designers, musicians and graphic artists from all over the world. They've been very deliberate in making it easy to use and yet extremely powerful. The Omnisphere is Spectrasonics' new flagship synthesizer and points the way to all their future virtual instruments. Spectrasonics are thrilled to offer a new product that will have a host of expansion capabilities in the future.

Although this synth is extremely powerful, the Omnisphere is designed with a unique user interface containing progressive layers of zooming to accommodate the complete range of users, from musicians who just want to be inspired by the sounds and customize them in an easy way, to expert synthesists and the most advanced sound designers. Users can go deeper and deeper into the software and progress in their synthesis knowledge by simply exploring additional levels of sound manipulation options. To make sure that all users get the most out of the new capabilities, the Omnisphere includes an extensive set of video tutorials and synthesis lessons taught by the renowned Spectrasonics sound design team.

The Omnisphere also offers a host of hybrid synthesis and new control capabilities including Variable Waveshaping DSP synthesis, Granular synthesis, Timbre Shifting, FM, polyphonic Ring Modulation, high-resolution streaming Sample Playback, Harmonia, Dual Multimode Filter structure, Chaos Envelopes, an advanced Unison mode and the innovative Flex-Mod modulation routing system.

The huge core library of the Omnisphere is filled with years of creative sampling experiments and thousands of inspiring patches. Spectrasonics have pioneered several brand-new types of sampling for the core library of this instrument, including unique Psychoacoustic sounds and soundsources created with a new Composite Morphing Technique (CMT), which morphs the harmonic characteristics of one instrument to another. As a bonus, a section of the core library is also devoted to representing the best of Spectrasonics award-winning sample libraries. When all of these organic core library soundsources are combined with the synthesis power of the Steam Engine, the sounds become alive in a truly dynamic and expressive way.

Among the many unique features this multitimbral synth offers are its flexible arpeggiators with the innovative Groove Lock integration with Stylus RMX, allowing the arpeggiator's pattern to instantly groove with the feel of the RMX drum loop; Live mode for transitionless patch switching and layering, Stack mode for powerful performance mapping and integrated modulatable FX Racks.

The culmination of many years of development, the Omnisphere is an instrument of extraordinary power and versatility. The Omnisphere brings many different types of synthesis together into one amazing-sounding instrument that will inspire a lifetime of exploration.
