Demystifying Omnisphere

Omnisphere, Spectrasonics’ flagship synthesizer, is known as one of the most powerful and best-sounding virtual instruments on the market. Featuring over 12,000 sounds and an extremely flexible synthesis engine, Omnisphere has long been a formidable weapon in the media composer’s arsenal.

In this seminar, Spectrasonics sound designers Jonathan Merrill and Ignacio Longo teach SCL Members to discover, dissect, and diagnose the elements of any Omnisphere sound and how to quickly customize it to fit their music. In addition to covering Omnisphere’s basic concepts and straightforward ways to approach the interface, they explain simple patch modification techniques which allow users to easily create unique sounds for their projects.
