Nov 17, 2016  There are a lot of omni tutorials actually, there just all split throughout utube, so you have to do a bit of searching, all the vids on Omni 1-1.5 apply to Omni 2 and indeed Omnisphere is a very deep synth. 8 parts,2 layers per part, crazy modulation and crazy effects not to mention all the sound sources that are used as oscillators,it can. Nov 23, 2019 Hardware Synth Integration. Omnisphere 2.6 is the only software synth in the world to offer a Hardware Synth Integration feature. This remarkable innovation transforms over 65 well-known hardware synthesizers into extensive hands-on controllers that unlock Omnisphere’s newly expanded synthesis capabilities.

Over 60 hardware synths will be supported with the new version, with brand new profiles for such iconic synths as the Roland Juno-106, Alesis Andromeda and the Roland D-50, to the very latest synths. Jan 27, 2019 Some of the sounds Omnisphere is pushing even surprised me and I own Omnisphere 2! When I first heard the news I was kind of thinking “whats the big deal - just midi map” but when you see it in action it looks incredibly cool. Might not make me buy a hardware synth but is a pretty cool addition if you already own one. To recap, Omnisphere 2.5’s hardware synth integration enables you to use a range of classic synths to control Omnisphere. A selection of new profiles has been added in version 2.6 (see below for the full list), bringing the total to more than 60.
