More than 10,000 amazing sounds to get you started
Forget about starting from scratch or even investing a lot of time into tweaking your sounds - if you just want to call up a patch and create music, then Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 has you covered. We're talking about a killer sound library with 10,000 patches organized in such a way that you can quickly find the kind of sound you're looking for. Then you also have some unique and specialized sounds, including a library of exciting EDM patches, exclusive Soundsources from Diego Stocco's custom-built instruments, circuit-bent tones, and psychoacoustic effects. Spectrasonics even went so far as to sample the melodic sound of the stalactites hanging in a radioactive cave in eastern Europe, just to give Omnisphere 2 an edge. You just can't make this sort of thing up.
Synthesis tools let you create any sound you can imagine
What if you want to dive in? In that case, hang on to your hat! Whether it's Omnisphere 2's audio import function, which lets you use your own audio as oscillator sources, or 400 new morphing-wavetable-based DSP waveforms for the Synth Oscillator, there's no denying the sheer sound-shaping power this virtual instrument has to offer. There's a totally new granular synthesis engine onboard too, plus seriously upgraded FM/ring mod, filter, unison, arpeggiation, and modulation options, all of which let you create cooler sounds than ever before. Even if you're not a synthesis guru, the ability to borrow effects and other settings from one patch to the next is golden.
Enhance your sounds with loads of killer effects
There's another great way to tweak your tones in Omnisphere 2: effects (tons and tons of effects, to be specific). For starters, Omnisphere 2 adds an additional 25 FX units to the already impressive collection in the original Omnisphere, and it raises the total number of effects from 12 to 16. Many of the new FX units, such as the Hi-Wattage and the Metalzone Distortion, are modeled after guitar amplifiers and stompbox effects, but there are also cool and freaky effects, such as the Solina Ensemble, and a complete suite of analog modeling processors to choose from. What's more, each FX slot supports matrix modulation, and there are hundreds of new FX presets and racks to play with.
