WARNING REMAINS AN OPINION.

The installation took 45 minutes.
Except some problems updating the app seems to have installed.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Intel core i5, 8GB RAM.
Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio
The app is very stable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year now.
After having tried full of VSTs unconvincing, it REALLY convinced me.
The sounds are different and worked well, there are sounds of its predecessor, Atmosphere ...
And BEST of the best, it is possible to create your own sounds.

+: The sounds, orchestral to electronic, there's something for all tastes.
- I never have enough time to explore the entire soft ...

I remake that choice without hesitation.

Configuration without problem. It takes about 2/3 hours ingester 6 DVD and make updates. This is the "time to pay" for a high quality sound banks ...
The installation manual is in English, and explicit.
I had a little trouble because I could not do updates. Technical support helped me quickly and efficiently.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

HP pavilion, intel core i3, 4 GB RAM, 2.13 GHZ, W7 (64bit).
Sound card v-studio 100 with Sonar VS as host (32bit).
The app is super stable, I do not have a high performance PC but I have no problem with my config because I do not like to accumulate full VST instance simultaneously.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week. I tried a lot of vst in this type of product and Omnisphere is simply the best because it is the most ... MUSIC! Indeed, the sounds are played, superb, varied ... in short, everything has already been said in different opinions.
The software is also very user friendly and well thought out to make yourself your own sounds.
The +: the quality and variety of sounds (from vintage to modern), the arpeggiator and the possibilities of synthesis. The quality / price ratio hallucinating.
The -: The not so great pianos ...

I will never part I of this app because, as I finally found a tool that emulates perfectly slicks Roland and Oberheim ...

Installation is tedious and time consuming on my brand new iMac i5 nice but the game your candlelight
Several hours for me so plan to do it before 22 hours or you will spend the night
Not really inconsistent, even works with version 1.3 of the software my MPC Renaissance
Operation is very simple if you stay in the basics, then we can easily get into the guts of the app and, it is complicated but not insurmountable
No real manual, but a nice collection of overly didactic video uttiles

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

As mentioned, no problem with my iMac Intel i5 4 cores
4 MB of RAM
OS: Mac OS X 10.8.3 Lion Mountain
Soft on the internal HDD, book on a USB external hard drive

I've never been able to plant this app I use with Logic Audio and Ableton Live V.9
No problem either with my MPC Renaissance (ditto for Trillian and Stylus I also used)

OVERALL OPINION

I bought Omnisphere there are more than one year and Stylus RMX and more recently Trillian
The combination of these three apps cover all my needs for electro. I now use it almost exclusively these three apps, the MPC does the rest

I tried dozens of soft before and after Spectrasonics including soft Native Instruments (FM8, Pro One, Absynth, Kontakt, Reaktor) softwares Arturia (Minimoog, Moog Modular, Jupiter 8 and even the last SEM of Oberheim) and many others. I come after me irresistibly Spectrasonics

I bought 3 apps Spectrasonics (for other apps pre quoted, say ....... euhhhh ..... I have finally you understand ....... like everyone else. ......), the investment is therefore but one - honestly I have no regrets and I do it again this choice, 2-I contribute modestly (and honestly) the development of a society that really does a good job. Thank you E Pershing

Omnisphere by Spectrasonics is compatible with Windows Xp 32/64bit , Vista , Windows 7 and MAC.

The manual is extremely clear and more than enough to get how the program works.

The general setup is very simple , however due to its size and the libraries that may come with it , it requires a certain amount of time.

The typical functions are easy to spot , very friendly design plus read the book that comes with the program and in just an hour you should get how it works.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works smoothly , no troubles found while using it.

The software is pretty stable , had only a couple of crashes during work.

I've been using this product for about 3 years.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about Omnisphere ,are the oscillators that can be sample based or synth based , the flex-Mod modulation system , the unison detuning , the analog feel , the synth feel and other great details.

I really love the sound library that consists from about 40 gb of pure samples you get also a panel search of the library based around genre , mood , tone , quality , etc.

Another thing that I love about it , is how simple the interface design is and how the key features are accessible for even an amateur , nothing really complex , up front design.

You also get 8 different arp , 8 effects , a lot of layers and even some tutorials to use your sounds or even create some!.

My opinion about the value for the price is great , a 500 $ product that has almost every sound you need and want.

Precision and quality of the sound is amazing , one of the most powerful synths ever made , 10/10.

Knowing what I know, I would get this software as soon as possible.

There weren't any kind of compatibility issues , the program worked really pro on any platform like Windows XP, Windows Seven or a MAC OS.

The book included with the program was quite clear and you easily manage the understanding of the program.

General configuration and setup is fast and it doesn't require a lot of time and effort.
The typical functions are accessible and easy to follow due to the well designed feature.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works extremely stable , fast and without any types of errors.
Regarding the functions and the performances , I haven't encountered any type of problems , misunderstandings or errors while using it.
I've been using Omnisphere for some time , it's been a couple of years my first connection with this product and its features.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about are the build-in arppegiatos , the good combination of sound quality and cpu usage , I enjoy the full spectrum of sounds that are included with certain libraries , the magical combination between the classical world , old style kind of strings and the saw synths available.

The most useful tool about this product is the incorporation that comes with it , a great usage either on electronic tracks or even in some emotional soundtracks that you can create with this amazing product.

My opinion about the value of price reaches a good point of understanding which describes perfectly the price range with the features provided with it.
This product costs around 500 $ but its worth the money without a doubt.

Precision and quality of sounds is very powerful , I rate it 9/10 only because there are some more advanced orchestral libraries , but being honest this product is the real deal.

Knowing what I know , I do think that this is a very smart move , choice to buy , mainly because its wide use in terms of musical style and contour.

I have been using Spectrasonics Omnisphere for a few years now since around 2009. It was easy to install though it did take a while to fully install because there are just so many sounds and effects that have to install. Using it was not very easy because it was laid out a lot different than other VST interfaces that I have used in my music career. After looking at the manual, it felt like I was looking at a manual to fix a space ship. It was very lengthy and confusing, so I started looking around online and came across a ton of free tutorials on the website. All I had to do was register and start watching. The videos that Spectrasonics put out for this VST were way better than the manual was.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I was using Omnispere on my Dell PC running Windows Vista 32 bit, it ran great and never froze or crashed on me. It ran smoothly and effortlessly, plus it did not take a lot of CPU up while using it. I was able to use it about 4 times simultaneously before it started to chew up all of the CPU. I used it in Cubase and in FL Studio. In both of those DAW programs it was easy to set up Omnisphere and add it to my work flow.

OVERALL OPINION

The sounds that come with it are revolutionary. They are great for all types of music but I basically make Electronic music and Dance music so it fit right in with my personal style. All of the presets can be edited easily if you know how to use the VST. Which is where the problem came in at for me, so I went to the tutorial videos to understand how to work it properly.
This is a great plug in that any one should purchase if you are serious about having some very clean sounds. The down fall of this is the price, for the price of this you can get the Kontakt bundle and get a lot more for your money.

Tedious installation with the iLok system.
But hey, it does have its rewards.
On the other hand, it comes without a printed user guide, which is the standard now.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use it with a 2008 MacBook Pro, core duo, 4 GB ram, and the sounds are saved on a 500GB LACIE HDD.
No issues with delays when loading sounds, nor with the load on the CPU.

OVERALL OPINION

In use for three years now.
I haven't gotten tired of it, and I probably only know about 10% of its possibilities.
OK, I exaggerate, only about 4.23%.
The price... It's a bit too expensive, but all updates are free — for now.
What I like most is the sound quality, richness and diversity, and the infinite possibilities to create them!!!
And there's nothing I don't like!
Except for it not coming with a manual!

I struggled a bit in the installation and I just bought Trillian ... is the same. The reason is that I wanted to install the data on a drive other than my system drive and it is not entirely clear. So the update is not very easy to download and install in this configuration. Once everything is installed, no worries

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a good PC (dual core, 8GB of Ram) and suddenly, I have no problem.

OVERALL OPINION

About a year. Omnisphere buried just about every other room less the synth sounds big. It really is essential but its use does very well. The setting is quite handy and never uses any notice. It is an almost indispensable tool when making the sound of the show, what I do ... I do not much used on the other hand to make "music" but I think we can do it without problem.

I didn't install it, so I can't say anything in that respect.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

No problems. With modern PCs (mine is about one year old) the load on the CPU isn't much. I sometimes work with 5 or 6 sounds simultaneously in omnisphère and CPU usage rises to only 1/3. It certainly depends on the sounds used, but still, It's not too resource-intensive.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for about three years.
I have what you can see in my profile. For me, Omnisphère is the best when it comes to sounds. I've worked a lot with sylenth as well, but Omnisphère has a huge sound library and it can do much more.
It has some purely synthetic sounds and some other based on samples, but they all share an amazing quality.
Initially, I bought it for the atmospheric sounds, but it can do almost anything.
I've been buying synths for 30 years and the price of this one is a joke. Plus, considering the current VSTi market, its price seems very competitive. I bought it for a little over €300 if I recall correctly.

Easy installation although a little long .. but even when good considering the amount of sound banks to install it is quite normal, there is nothing nothing!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Laptop i7 740 / 8GB RAM

the app runs well, but hey do not stack instances has force if the cpu gets on his knees! Each instance of Omnisphere allows 8 "sounds" that can be "read" by 8 different MIDI tracks if necessary. With my CPU according to the DAW (Reaper being the best of the point of view) I get a reading between 30 and 40 MIDI tracks routed to four or five instances of Omnisphere ... I never needed as in my projects (and the worst I can do a bounce) so if you have a machine correctly, no problem. Some banks may also be beefy enough so the RAM is not to overlook either especially if you use multiple sounds at once (and other VST / VSTi)
On my machine everything is very stable and in 4 years I have never had any problem or crash from Omnisphere (, Trilian and Stylus RMX).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few years already and before I Omnisphere tests (continuous test) countless synth / piano / generator soundscapes etc. .. I still use some as Massive, Nexus, Rob Papen etc. .. I find good ... but in all honesty, none at Omnisphere.
The report price is good quality at very good I would say (very good for me). Must see if you need all of "his" and in fact the importance that is given to the quality of those below. One thing is sure with Omnisphere if you know how to use (like always!) Can (almost) do everything and I have to admit that I used quite a few other synth that i (only when I want a well accurate and i lazy to recreate in Omnisphere!), especially if you also have Trilian, the sound banks are available in Omnisphere Trilian. Obviously Spectrasonic products combine very well with each other (=> Stylus RMX and Trilian)

The app even him is really very well designed and organized. It is a gas plant but really thinks and allows ranking very convenient (and customizable) to find banks or sort them according to certain criteria. This being said, even when it is necessary to spend time exploring all the possibilities offered (and believe me there and I discovers yet!) Under penalty of missing out on a lot of stuff (and incidentally not return on investment!) ... so you have to predict the time to learn even if Omnisphere sounds bases that have already very good quality can often be sufficient to our happiness! And Commes sounds are really good and almost infinite possibility, spend time on ca omnispheres is nothing unpleasant to do!

In short, if you want something that really sounds and makes almost everything very well ... look no further this is the one you need, you buy nothing else after (or almost nothing! Lol )

The installation is done it without problems?
Tranquillou but must be 2 or 3 hours of installation (large database)

The general configuration is easy?
Correct! I went on the site to get my license, copy-pasted. Finished.

Have you encountered any incompatibilities?
Not yet installed on two tandem configurations and nickel.

The manual is clear and sufficient?
Not opened once for the program and great thought and very clear.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

What is the configuration of your computer?
Alienware M17R
Motu 828mk3 Hybrid 1x + 2x Motu 8pre
Studio One 2 + FL Studio

What is performance? (If quantifiable)
VST starts in 3 seconds.

The software works he correctly on this configuration?
Perfectly.

This software + hardware is stable?
Yes.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you been using?
7 months very intensively.

Did you try many other models before buying it?
I pack Native Complete 7 but I think Omnisphere sounds are still a step above. There are more worked, more "Pro"

What is so special that you like most and least?
+ Ease of use and sound research.
- I do have some sounds that make buger bounce sometimes I do not know why.

How do you rate the quality / price?
More than acceptable in view of the magnitude of the sound database and systhème editing.

With experience, you do again this choice?
I Regrete not have bought earlier. And I intend to buy other packs that offers Spectrasonics.

If you want a sound base to do everything electro, pop, music, etc ... this is what you need. I also use it to create music for video games because the samples are of very high quality.

Pb no huge install, but retrieve the latest version of the Spectrasonics website.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Asus P6T Deluxe, Core i7 920, 12 GB RAM.
Cubase 5.5.3 64 - windows 7 64
With my config, no worries really. It is stable, but I've never been to Taque opportunities although I tried multis 8 sounds without encountering bp. Careful, though, because even qd Omnisphere is resource intensive.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years since I use is really top, then I have not been in the womb, the possibilities are enormous. However, I tested well aligned with Stylus RMX that fits in grooves making it a perfect complement.
The value for money is excellent, I remake this choice 100 times.

The great power synth Omnisphere from Spectrasonics combines the beauty of acoustic sounds with a more digital one.
It has a lot of deep and great built-in sounds.The typical functions are relatively easy to use for those that want to take a built-in sound and use it in their own mix.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

What's really amazing about this power synth is it's high quality sounds and stability.
I have been using this synth for a while and i haven't encountered any errors during it's use. It works on a professional level.
This synth really helped me during the years to find the rich sounds that I've used in some classical music.


OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about it are the great features like timbre shifting, dual mode filter structure , harmonia and the amazing build-in patches that make our life much easier as music producers. I also enjoy the fact that if you're more into building your own sounds and you're a great sound engineer you can create your own sounds.
The library provided by Omnishpeere is one of the most professional , high quality that i ever had the pleasure to work with.
The price is great for such a great synth , it costs around 500$ , but belive me , it's really worth the money.
With this professional type synth you will create something great for the music world.
I've tried several other models before getting omnishpere, and guess what, I stuck with it, I'm using it almost every day and I can't really describe the impact it has on my work.

Omnishpere is compatible as well with mac osx and xp/7.

You should try it for it's great effects, racks, chaos envelopes , patches, all the great layering and for the sounds that it provides. Without a doubt I would buy this program over and over again if I would have to , right now there isn't a more developed type of synth on the market.

Installation is very long .. I remember that it took almost four hours to install everything, configure, and allow the software.

No incompatibilities detected in Logic Pro 9: Omnisphere is immediately apparent as in AU plug-ins

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

IMac 27 2.8Ghz 4 cores 8 GB RAM.
Any performance issues with multi omnispheres used, or 8 patches, plus a multi stylus.
The configuration is very stable in Logic Pro (no crash in 2 years)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for + / - 2 years.

As:
- Sounds! it takes months to discover all the sounds and their wealth. The sounds are both complex, deep, realistic and breathtaking!
The sounds of voice / choir are to die for, as are sets of strings. The textures are ultra rich and varied, and not repeated almost never as the envelopes are complex .. Add to this function Orb, which allows to change parameters of the sounds in real time via an Iphone.
The guitars are very successful, and one could almost feel the touch of the strings by touching the keyboard.
Once familiar with the grain 'Omnisphere' key and the Eric Persing, you will often find patterns in the U.S. music series or recent movies.
In addition, the synthesizer is so complete, that to move a few sliders will throw up a new sound! So the possibilities are endless.
- The arpeggiator: an intelligent use of arpeggiator can give exceptional results: simple patterns can become a rhythmic tempo that clings to the tempo of Logic Pro. The factory presets ARP & rhythm 'best use the arpeggiator.
- Mode, Multi Live, which allows for a benefit on stage with 8 aggregate or individual patches, and the 'latch' can "hold" a sound (eg a web or a wind effect) while playing another sound, and it also allows quantizer in real time.
- Who owns the trilogy (stylus, Trilian and omni), the 3 apps integrate seamlessly with each other, and allow for rapid composting and very pleasant


the least:
- Some patches are so complex that they can quickly saturate a piece .. see: some patches are pieces alone! and the novice musician will have a false sense of creation, when he does qu'enfoncer 3 or 4 keys!
- Brass and piano sounds (but this is not the purpose of the software)

I would do without hesitation that choice .. Omnisphere is my soft bedside. It will take a long time to have done the trick.
I often use it as a basis of inspiration by exploring the patches at random .. Omnisphere but always comes to the point where I need analog tablecloths, Lead and moog sounds weird and original.

The installation and, especially, the updates, are a bit complicated, starting with the fact that Spectrasonics offers different updates for the software itself, the presets and for the sound libraries. But everything works fine once we've gotten pass that.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use it on a Dual Core with 6 GB RAM and have never had an issue under Windows 7 64-bit / Cubase 6. That said, I generally use one or two patches per song at most, so it's not very indicative.

OVERALL OPINION

I've used it for two years now and I must confess that I'm really fascinated by the software, even if it only use it rarely. Why? Because it sounds huge and its sounds are sometimes so complex that they are more than enough by themselves. It is often hard to try to incorporate them in a song.

During mixdown, you will have to cut a lot with the EQ (especially in the low end). And, to compose, it seems that the best you can do with Omnisphere is start from scratch with one of the presets and see where it takes you... But we must also admit that an Omnisphere layer and a Stylus groove are enough to make a song, which can be exciting and frustrating at the same time...

Loaded with processing and modulation possibilities, the software is nevertheless not the most user-friendly, in my opinion. Its interface with multiple panels make it unnecessarily complicated and might end up discouraging beginners or will make them stick to presets, which, then again, are admirable.

This is without a doubt an inspiring instrument whose sounds have a lot of personality. But that's not always what you are looking for...

Omnisphere is basically a large workstation-like synthesizer that just happens to include a gigantic sample library. Using multiple types of oscillators, filters, effects and modulation routing, you can create almost any kind of sound imaginable. Not only that, but you can stack multiple patches together in multi mode (told you it was like a workstation) for uber-large presets. The built-in arpeggiator is pretty neat, and the included FX like reverb, chorus, compression, distortion, delay, etc. can not only be used at the patch level but can be used at the post-multi mixer level in four different aux channels plus the master.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The manual is attached to the synth. For this kind of money, a printed manual would be very helpful (and the "saving trees" thing is really getting old). At the very least, a PDF file that could be re-sized and perused at your leisure (AND PRINTED) would be nice. Instead, you have to have an instance of Omnisphere open to read anything about it.

OVERALL OPINION

Sounds are amazing, some of the best I have heard from a software synth. inspirational, crystal clear with deep thunderous basses, shining washes, eerie graybrooding atonal clouds, searing synth leads, indescribable sonic vistas, all you could ever want or need.

Overall, I thought the interface would be a little more intuitive, it is not. Also, the search function is not as useful as the videos would have you believe, the cutesy names do not allow for generic searches in all instances, ie; I accidentally changed a cool rock guitar patch I was using and tried to find it again with no luck. It was a guitar sound but never came up under a "guitar" search. I also tried to type in the name or parts of it (as I remembered them) and no luck. But besides the confusion of finding patches, I have no complaints. Amazing software.

Omnisphere

The pros: sounds: Eric Persing! , Future, interface, installation, intuitive. wide range of sounds.

the -: Most of the sounds from old banks Akai - Symphony of voices, Bizarre Guitar, Hans Zimmer, etc. ... and Atmosphere ...
So those who have these banks ...
We do not find the original patches of atmosphere ... just sounds gross, but:

The Atmosphere Patch Library Will Be posted and available for download by September 26th.
It Will Be included in the 1.0.2 patch library update.

thank you Eric!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

A Mac Pro 8-core Mac + and Quad core and a minimum PC for integration with other plug in an arrangement .... like all the plugs coming out now )) ...... eastwest etc. ....

OVERALL OPINION

Unavoidable, but provided his big CPU-intensive

Very good quality / price

Install perfect, a bit long, but ...
The manual is pretty basic for now but as they are very active in the updates, I'm pretty confident that it will move very quickly. Tutorials and videos for now also quite basic but they promise more content quickly and so far, spectra has always kept its promises ... we rejoice.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The app is very CPU intensive.
It produces good results great, sounds fantastic, especially those in category phsychoacoustique, but it's very very CPU intensive. I use Omnisphere with EWQL Platinum and frankly, to do the freeze often or frequently export mainly 24 bits.

I have two machines, a Mac and a PC, and as many on the Mac no problem, but on the PC .... you have to wait a little until the interface launches the first time you instantiate the DAW is not fantastic at this level, but it's a small disadvantage compared to the quality of soft.

Otherwise it is stable, it runs well.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, I athmosphere I liked but I rarely use.
Here, there's splendid features and sounds great, right now I'm using that is much wider!

The great browser (with personal tagguage possible, finally, the large class)
The arpeggiator, great.
The lock groove of the arpeggiator, magic!
Sounds great for the class of Eric and engineering folldingue Diego Stocco and Co.
Easy to use interface great.
Modulations, whole pages of options, grandiose!
The live mode GENIAL.
The stack mode, perfect.
I would just like to combine the two, but I'm a bit greedy, then maybe.
Athmo and between omni, there's no picture!

Strongly that we do a trilogy of hell ...

You have to be patient but it's worth.
Easy to use and much more interesting to create their own patches qu'atmosphere. The last album was damn good sound but frankly did not interest me what I wanted to do and all of the interface, ultimately did not want to customize the sounds.
Here, we work from scratch with a real desire to take every possible modulations, and not just to sound "atmospheric". Good bass, sounds "ethnic" ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a G5 2x2 gghz with 4 gigs of ram, it turns correctement.Mais is greedy.
I work on Logic and so far I have not had any problems.

OVERALL OPINION

From this output, I use it in addition to Tassman AAS, AAS String Studio and an Ocean Harp to the sounds of percussion (marimba, klogenspiel ...), string ... to give a color "Acoustic" and strange.
This is not to try to find the actual sounds and classical, although the Sample Rate is a superb quality. But to take these sources and the Take affected countries in original sound.
Mix it with sounds more synthetic sounds (Machinedrum, Reaktor, Evolver, V-synth) is a pure joy. And greatly enriched the sound space.

Implemented without problem: 6-disc about an hour, it is long but your exact poustouflant.
The manual is in English and sr are now available on the site vidos or registered user can view the diffrent CHARACTERISTICS of the machine.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

This software was installed on an HP laptop, the first disc in the plug-in steinberg and the rest on an external hard drive.
Problem: I bought a small external hard drive 80 GB (for 50 Omnisphre Attributes) and reinstalled everything on it. When I tried to open the program, an error message appeared: "The drive or network connection design for the shortcut 'STEAM.INK is not available. Check that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and try again. "
I'm going to beat a dead horse to find a solution to use my small hard drive instead of the big studio but in the meantime I'm trying to shake ds DIFFERENT patches.
Version adj changed since January 14. We must therefore make the update.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this program two weeks ago and use it takes me all my free time because as the slogan says: you will not have enough of your life to use it!
