  We’ve been raving about Omnisphere’s burning pianos, awesome arpeggiators, and incredible customization, but today marks the official release of Omnisphere, so get out there and try this soft synth for yourself.  As one of the biggest fans of Spectrasonics Atmosphere in the past, I can’t tell you how excited I am about all the improvements Omnisphere has promised.

  Watch in the coming weeks for a full review, but in the meantime, head on over to the official Omnisphere website for demonstrations and exclusive videos.

  Indecisive Spectrasonics Names 11 Omnisphere Contest Winners

  July 12, 2008 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment Share this Indecisive Spectrasonics Names 11 Omnisphere Contest Winners

  

  When it comes to software, there’s nothing I’m more excited about than the upcoming release of Omnisphere. I mentioned a few weeks back that, along with including burning piano samples in the sound library, Spectrasonics was hosting a contest enabling musicians around the world to submit their own unique compositions using custom-made clips and loops created in Omnisphere. Well, Spectrasonics has generously selected eleven winners, one of which features its own music video, to receive a free copy of the beast when it’s released on September 15, 2008.

  Although it’s a bit strange, one of the songs was designated, “Best Video Game Score.” I have no idea what they mean by that (maybe that means it doesn’t have vocals?), but it is actually one of my favorites. Head on over to the contest website to listen to and download the winning tracks.

  Is anyone else convinced that Omnisphere will rule us all?

  Omnisphere: One Synth to Rule Them All

  Time to clean out your studio, Omnisphere is less than three months away.

  If you’re a musician you’ve likely heard of this massive soft synth from Spectrasonics due out on September 15, and if not, it’s time to learn. Spectrasonics has done an admirable job building the hype for Omnisphere with a series of videos demonstrating its impressive list of features on the Omnisphere teaser website. Even more, Spectrasonics is hosting a remix contest for Spectrasonics users that makes use of custom Omnisphere patches and gives musicians a chance to win a copy of the software.

  The coolest damn arpeggiator you’ve ever seen? They’ve got it. Easy access for both beginners and professionals? They’ve got it. Burning piano samples? Yes, they’ve got it.

  What is your favorite soft synth on the market? Are you looking forward to the release of Omnisphere?
