Omnisphere 2

Spectrasonics

Where to get itAvailable from Spectrasonicsspectrasonics.net

Omnisphere 2 is a comprehensive wavetable and sample-based synthesizer that combines four independent layers, each with its own oscillator or soundsource, into a single patch. The plugin excels at creating complex, animated sounds through extensive routing options, comprehensive effects suite, and deep modulation capabilities.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Four independent layers with individual oscillators or soundsources
02Eight independent LFOs per part with tempo sync and custom rhythmic values
03Four polyphonic amp envelopes and four polyphonic filter envelopes per part
04Four global modulation envelopes with custom-defined shapes
05Layer levels -inf dB to +9.54 dB with independent pan control
06Filter envelope depth range 0.000 to 1.000 with ENV INVERT switch
07LFO rate range 0–60 Hz (sync off) or 32x to 1/96 plus dotted and triplet values (sync on)

Things to Try

  • 01Set Release Level to around -3 dB as a starting point for natural release soundsource balance, then adjust louder for up-tempo tunes and softer for slower tempos
  • 02Use the ENV INVERT switch to create unusual filter contours such as double-triggering and release effects
  • 03Use Alternate Sustain Mode (Mode 2) when playing rock-style bass lines or chorded phrases, as it cuts off previously played notes while sustaining the last notes played
  • 04Try Retroplex or Retro Flanger effects for lo-fi vintage character, or Radio Delay with the Valve Radio filter for dual-filtered echo effects that sound like distorted old speakers
