After many years of development, Spectrasonics is
proud to release the brand new flagship virtual
instrument Omnisphere. This epic .Power Synth. breaks
completely new sonic ground by combining a wide
variety of hybrid realtime synthesis techniques, an
epic library of remarkable .Psychoacoustic. sounds,
and many innovative features that have never been
seen before in any hardware or software synthesizer.
The new instrument is the first to be based on
Spectrasonics newly developed STEAM Engine.

"This is truly an Epic project", said Eric Persing,
Founder and Creative Director of Spectrasonics. .We
have been working for many, many years; sampling
unique sounds, experimenting, specifying the
synthesis features and building the STEAM Engine to
run it all. It.s been a very exciting process
involving our team of software engineers, sound
designers, musicians, and graphic artists from all
over the world. We.ve been very deliberate in making
it easy to use, and yet extremely powerful.
Omnisphere is our new flagship synthesizer, and
points the way to all our future virtual instruments.
We are thrilled to offer a new product that will have
a host of expansion capabilities in the future..

Although this new synth is extremely powerful,
Omnisphere is designed with a unique user interface
containing progressive layers of .zooming. to
accommodate the complete range of users - from
musicians who just want to be inspired by the sounds
and customize them in an easy way, to expert
synthesists and the most advanced sound designers.
Users can go deeper and deeper into the software and
progress in their synthesis knowledge by simply
exploring additional levels of sound manipulation
options. To make sure that all users get the most out
of the new capabilities, Omnisphere includes an
extensive set of video tutorials and synthesis
lessons taught by the renown Spectrasonics sound
design team.

Omnisphere offers a host of hybrid synthesis and new
control capabilities including Variable Waveshaping
DSP synthesis, Granular synthesis, Timbre Shifting,
FM, polyphonic Ring Modulation, high-resolution
streaming Sample Playback, Harmonia., Dual Multimode
Filter structure, Chaos Envelopes., an advanced
Unison mode, and the innovative Flex-Mod. modulation
routing system - to name a few.

The huge core library of Omnisphere is filled with
years of creative sampling experiments and thousands
of inspiring patches. Spectrasonics has pioneered
several brand-new types of sampling for the core
library of this instrument, including unique
.Psychoacoustic. sounds and soundsources created with
a new Composite Morphing Technique (CMT) - which
morphs the harmonic characteristics of one instrument
to another. As a bonus, a section of the core library
is also devoted to representing the best of
Spectrasonics award-winning sample libraries. When
all of these organic core library soundsources are
combined with the synthesis power of the STEAM
engine, the sounds become .alive. in a truly dynamic
and expressive way.

Among the many unique features this new multitimbral
synth offers are its flexible arpeggiators with the
innovative Groove Lock. integration with Stylus RMX -
allowing the arpeggiator.s pattern to instantly
groove with the feel of the RMX drum loop; Live Mode
for transitionless patch switching and layering,
Stack Mode for powerful performance mapping; and
integrated modulatable FX Racks.

Omnisphere is also the successor to Spectrasonics.
popular Atmosphere. instrument, and contains enhanced
versions of all the classic Atmosphere sounds.
However, the brand new core library in Omnisphere is
10-times the size of Atmosphere and features
thousands of completely new and different sounds.

There is an upgrade for all Atmosphere customers,
available from Spectrasonics Techshop.

The culmination of many years of development,
Omnisphere is an instrument of extraordinary power
and versatility. Omnisphere brings many different
types of synthesis together into one amazing-sounding
instrument that will inspire a lifetime of
exploration.

Omnisphere is now shipping, and has an MSRP of $499
US and .379 Euro.

Omnisphere is cross-platform compatible with Apple
Macintosh OS X 10.4 and higher as a native Universal
Binary and also with Microsoft Windows XP/Vista.
Audio Units, VST, and RTAS plug-in formats are
supported for compatibility with all major host
software.
