«  Sounds to die for »

Published on 04/11/12 at 03:55
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.
