Omnisphere 2.5 free upgrade#

HereвЂ™s an in-depth look at how Omnisphere 2.5 works with various supported synths: Most importantly, itвЂ™s easy for musicians to use вЂ“ simply select the hardware synth from the drop-down HW menu and Omnisphere is now linked to that hardware synth. The new development system also allows Spectrasonics to add new profiles for new hardware synths in the future.

This allows Spectrasonics to enable sophisticated interactions from a single touch of a knob, including the ability for Omnisphere to automatically switch interface pages, recall entire FX racks, assign multiple scaled parameters and even instantly create complex modulation matrix routings on-the-fly.

The Spectrasonics development team has designed unique вЂњHardware ProfilesвЂќ for each supported hardware synthesizer, making the special features of that synthesizer work seamlessly with Omnisphere by translating MIDI messages from the hardware into useful sonic results in Omnisphere. Hardware Synth Integration feature in version 2.5 goes beyond the typical вЂњMIDI LearnвЂќ approaches that most software synthesizers employ. The initial release officially supports over 30 popular hardware synthesizers from Moog, Dave Smith Instruments, Roland, Korg, Novation, Nord, Access, Studiologic and Sequential, and Spectrasonics says that more are to come. Here are the details on whatвЂ™s new in Omnisphere 2.5: Persing introduced Omnisphere 2.5 at Superbooth 2018, where he showed how it worked with an array of synths:

The free upgrade also features a newly announced high-resolution interface, support for Windows Multi-touch, new Granular Synthesis capabilities and a new sound library of over 1000 new sounds, bringing the total number of included sounds to over 14,000. вЂњOur virtual instrument users can now experience the joy of the hardware synth workflow,вЂќ he adds, вЂњand hardware synth users can now fully expand their capabilities into the vast sonic world of Omnisphere!вЂќ вЂњWe are very excited to be able to finally eliminate that problem by utilizing the worldвЂ™s finest hardware synthesizers to fully control Omnisphere.вЂќ вЂњThe biggest limitation of software synthesizers has been the lack of physical interaction,вЂќ notes Spectrasonics President Eric Persing. Omnisphere 2.5 introduces Hardware Synth Integration, which transforms over 30 well-known hardware synthesizers into hands-on controllers that are deeply integrated with OmnisphereвЂ™s newly expanded synthesis capabilities. Spectrasonics has released Omnisphere 2.5 вЂ“ a major update to its flagship software synthesizer.
