Beyond expectations.Totaly fantastic.Clean,dirty,big small,analog,digital.This is the first VSTi that sound as FULL as my mean little orange XT.

Hi Coldmachine,

Congrats on being the first to Post!!!!!

Glad ya liked!!!, wait till you've had the weekend to play with it, and you'll love it even more!!!


Cheer's

Arghhhh....this thing sounds so good and I just can't, just can't buy another VSTi right now...

In the last 7 months I've bought Reaktor+loads of Dash's, Absynth, Battery+Studio Drums, Sampletank+SS, HALion, B4 and Cubase SX plus a new (big) soundcard, preamp and mic. I will be repossessed if I get any more...

...well, for a coupla days anyway...

Ah..you know you want to!!!

We've just sent out the Store demo copies today, so they should get them over the weekend!!!

If you tell me where you are, I can tell you the nearest store so you can go and have a play!!!....
You would'nt believe the amount of calls I've had today from people who've just been totaly 'Blown away' by it....

Atmosphere is not a stand alone synth, like Stylus it ships with VST/MAS and RTAS in the box... AU updates will follow..

Cheers,

Any copies sent to Houston, TX USA?

Hi Mike,

Ilio would take care of all the stores in the US, but if you have a Sam ASh or Guitar centre near you I'm sure you'll find one there soon...

Use one of the many inexpersive VST hosts listed here at KvR, or use the new V-Stack software from Steinberg....there's no real need to make a dedicated stand-alone host with so many good options on the market.

Glad everyone is starting to finally get to enjoy our baby!

ner0z, make sure you get a confirmation # from audiomidi.

I did the same with my order of Sonic Synth. Audiomidi had it backordered for weeks, so I cancelled my order with them and ordered it directly from esoundz.com. Esoundz shipped it out immediately -- in just a few days.

And two weeks later -- you know what's coming! -- I received my Sonic Synth from audiomidi. No big problem, they took it back with apologies. BUT I had to wait a couple of weeks before they refunded the money they took from my credit card!

Well I canceled the order with Audio... I did get a Number from them..and the I went with Ilio..... ..... not that I have a urgent need for it....

now I need some more memory.... got 512 need another stick

Justifiably so. NI earned that with their groundbreaking work, Atmosphere breaks ground with the fantastic sounds, layering, great legato and other features. I think integrated Softsynths in general just got a huge boost in real world credibility.

I look forward to NAMM 2003 to see what other possibly rediculously cool synths are announced. It's nice to finally have products that surpass expectations.

Ok the demos and you guys convinced me, I just ordered mine !!!

Hi, I'm a newbie. I use Sonar 2 XL and am thinking of getting Atmosphere but I will be using DirectXer to wrap the VST into a DXi for Sonar. Is anyone using it yet for Sonar or some other DXi proggie? I find that DirectXer works really well for all of my other plugins and instruments. Here is my layout,

Twin PIII 733 (dual cpu)
1 GIG PC800 Rambus
2 9 GiG 10000 RPM Scssi HD's
1 160 GiG Firewire HD
SB Live Audigy Sound Card

Novation K-Station Synth
Yamaha RM1X Remix Sequencer
Quasimidi Rave-O-Lution 309
Sonar 2XL
NI Kontakt soft sampler
a zillion VST & DXi plugins
Behringer 16 channel mixer


Any feedback on Atmosphere as a Dxi would be great. Thank you.

The GUI is so user friendly for tweeking patches , which I have been
doing a bit of .
Some patches are not really to my personal taste but with just a
couple of small tweeks in the right place it is so easy to transform
it to something far better to my own liking, it is also very easy to tweek a patch
into something radically different .
Atmosphere really does have a massive sound sculpting potential.

The GUI is one of the best looking out there , I it

this was taken from the PDF file from it.....

Does Atmosphere work in Sonar?
Yes.You can currently use the following VST-DXi wrappers that have been tested
with Atmosphere in Sonar 2.1:DirectiXer,FXpansion VST-DX Adapter and the
Spin Audio STDX

Yea, I read that too on the Spectrasonics website. I was just wondering if anybody was actually using it in Sonar now that it is out. Thank you.

I don't know why it wouldn't work in Sonar. I don't have Atmosphere, but I do have Stylus, and that works just fine with both DirectiXer and VSTAdapter, so I assume it's the same for Atmosphere...

I'm using it in Sonar XL 2.1 using DirectiXer 2.3.

Working fine so far.

Hi all
Im new to this forum.
Im interested in this new vsti its seems promising.
I would like to know how well it performs with the current cpus.
Can somebody comment how much cpu takes a voice with a pc?
Better with AMD or Intel?
It has some P4 or athlonXP optimizations?

I assume that acording to the arquitecture of this synth 1 voice has 2 oscillators and not matter what preset is used it uses the same amount of cpu per voice (i will suppose it will take more or less ram depending of the preset). Right?

Many thanks for any response.

Enrique C.

Atmosphere and Absynth are faily close in CPU usage. More than something like Stylus, but on either AMD/Intel CPUs you will have no problems. 500mhz or higher is recommended.

When a layer is OFF, Atmosphere uses half the CPU power.

I'll let other users speak for their own experiences on CPU usage though.

spectrum

hey eric, when you say CPU usage is moderate, on a 667, does this mean, 30%?.....ram is 384, which I am about to add 64 more........but a 667 should be ok right?...also i got fruityloops, so i should be "good to go" with stylus right?.........the demo of FL gave me no problems, so I was excited about this

thanks again kindly sir, for the private emails and also for answering this about the CPU usage

Thanks for the response but...

I think imaybe ts not the best possible comparison.

With Absynth the ratio voice/cpu changes dramatically depending of the patch selected and the complexity of the one selected (as its a semimodular synth and can be activated many differents elements).

If I have understanded correctely atmosphere uses an architecture much more simple (and im not talking its not effective) an I believed that a relationship voice/cpu would be determined in a much more precise way(using the two layers that has each voice and using the filter).

Quote:

...500mhz or higher is recommended. When a layer is OFF, Atmosphere uses half the CPU power.

What you mean? 1 voice witha a layer off uses half the cpu power of a 500mhz pc?

Recently I have had the opportunity to be able to see how work Sample Tank and Im impressed that a sound consuming 32 voices only used 10% of an athlon 1800xp (and it was using some effects active).


But I am more inclined to buy Atmosphere, although I would like to know how it behaves as for the cpu consumption.

Any precise voice/cpu ratio indication will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Enrique C.

Yes I'm using the Atmosphere/DirectiXer/SONAR combination...works great. It's nice that SONAR supports unlimited synth instances. I can almost guarantee that anyone who gets Atmosphere will love it.

-david abraham

We'll try to post some more informative CPU voice tests on some different rigs in the next week or so...haven't got around to doing that though.

Like with all soft synths/samplers, it's more the polyphony than the instances that use the CPU power.

Just for a starting reference, all of the demos on our site were created with 400mhz-800mhz Mac G3s and G4s.

Spectrum, if it isn't a secret, can you tell us about the synths you used to create Atmosphere. Any virtual synths?

This has already been mentioned previously by Spectrum, but this should point you in the right direction:

-Tronam

holy hell! that is an insane list of gear - ok. one more day of posts like this and I am selling my roomates into sex-slavery. Anyone like late 20something year old guys with crappy jobs and bad posture?

I received my Atmosphere and would love to tell you it sounds great but I have spent like six hours trying to get it installed. Any tips would be most appreciated. I get checksum errors in random spots during the install process on the data joiner section and the installation terminates. I know its not the CD's as I tried the install on my Laptop and on there everything went fine. I am running on Windows Xp SP1. I have tried multiple CD rom drives, Ran check disk, Defragged the drive, disabled virus software etc, but no dice. Any ideas what could be causing this, this is really frustrating.

Sorry for the trouble you're having. Some systems (especially dual monitor rigs) have trouble with joining the CDs.

Your best bet is tech support...they can get you up and running quick. email info@spectrasonics.net

They'll be there for another couple of hours. Are you in the UK?
If don't hear from them today, then you can email support@timespace.com and they can help on UK time too.

Best,

spectrum

Thanks Spectrum I am in the US, I have sent them an email as well. I had an idea to try to do the install in Windows XP Safe mode and will tell you if I'm successful. Also interesting what you say about dual monitor mode, as I have an ATI Card the also has TV out which acts like a Dual monitor display , I would have never thought this would have anything to do with it. I will await the reply and let you know when i am successful

Well I have now finally had sucess with the install. Windows XP safe did the trick. It's now time to play

I got mine also today... also had problems with the Joiner... but was finally able to do it... I went thru the whole patch list.... I think that its a lot of Hype

First impressions all I can say is WOW !!!! amazing stuff here. Well its going to be a while before I get thru all these patches.

man I want Atmosphere and Stylus. I need money. Anybody need a kidney or a toe?

ok, I should get mine per audio midi, if ILIO will hurry up and give them there orders, next week sometime..............ner0z.......what is the exact joiner problem your having?...........does it go through 4 cds, then stop joining?.........what exactly is going on, and how did you fix it?
thanks

Hey...two OK posts in a row, what a trip!

Mighty, if you didn't have problems with the install on Stylus, you shouldn't on Atmosphere either.

Glad you got up and running synthetica and nerOz.

hmmm yes that is what it did.... I got an error that the wrong volume was in the Drive... but the strange thing is that after the 3rd time I just let it keep going and it did join all the cd's even with that error... so far so good

and btw I never had a issue with Stylus

Ok First question, In the modulation section there is a modulation called CC which I'm assuming as the manual says this is the modulation for the assignable CC. I have a foot pedal which i run on CC# 4. how do I go about assigning this CC to that modulation option as there seems to be no where to do it.

Never Mind, I guess all these Incredible sounds has made me blind looks like its on the bottom right corner ... duh...

Arrived today, fell asleep during the 40 min install, jaw hit the floor after barely scraping the surface this afternoon. Started whole new tune within listening to about 30 patches.
Can't talk, must go back and play.

(that translates as BUY IT NOW, this thing is absolutely incredible ).

(Sorry about your jaw injury!)

Damn - I was gonna marry atmosphere - but it seems that everyone else is having sex with it before me.



Reg
[/u]

Ok now that I've spent a little time (and I stress little since I just got it yesterday) with Atmosphere I have a couple of suggestions for the next update only minor though. Still cant get over the sounds here don't change a thing there.

1. Midi learn feature on the the knobs so you can assign any controller to a paramater

2. Copy/paste setting for parameters between A and B

3. LFO Sync and additional LFO waveforms (of course, I see this is already expected)

4. Bigger knobs , sliders are fine (they seem a little small on high res monitor)

5. Double click on a knob to allow you to type parameter text manually from keyboard

Thats it for now, anyone have any idea what the average time length is to get thru ALL the patches ???

HI Synthetica,

If you played with each patch for 5 mins, and take an hour off for lunch....

It will take you 12 days to go through all the patches

Oh Yeah...and that worked out on an average 8 hour working day!!

Anyway, the SAMPLES ARE GREAT !! And you can layer them and create new sounds. But it is not that you have a great SYNTHESE like MOSS or so. So what happens when you put all your samples from div. sampling CD´s in a software sampler like Halion ? Yes, right: you have an atmosphere synth

That's exactly right and the point I've tried to make before. Sample-based synths can be extremely cool....even though it's not the latest techmology. They've just gotten a bad rap over the years because of the limited hardware versions that have been out there. The most important thing in any sample based synth is how good the core wavetable is. With an instrument like Atmosphere, that has such a large, high-quality one...the result of what it can do musically is quite different than previous sample-based synths. Also, it's worth noting that there are more sample-based synths used live and in all recordings than any other technology combined....there's a reason for that...sampling is incredibly versatile in terms of having access to different sonic characters.

Also, I beg to differ that you could recreate Atmosphere in Halion...that's simply not true. It has very weak filters and no Legato mode like Atmosphere has...and the layer architecture is set up totally different, so it would be extremely cumbersome to do some things that are really easy to do in Atmosphere. The sound quality is quite a bit different too....the custom UVI engine we use was specifically tweaked to be "fattened" in Atmosphere...HALion is fine, but it has a uniform, and "generic" sound character...not one that was "tweaked" to a particular sound set.

So in theory yes....Atmosphere is a sample player, but it's the details that make all the difference, and why it's not possible to recreate Atmosphere in ANY current sampler. It's the customization that makes it what it is.

Best,

And as we all know, god is in the details! And so in order to get closeer to god, you must buy atmosphere!

Thank you , Eric, for making me realize that I need to clear space on the old credit card now! now back to work, I have bills to pay before I can play

I am writing a review for Sonic Synth for an upcoming website and what holds true there holds true here. Setting up Atmosphere for Halion and/orKontakt might be possible in principle, but it is cumbersome in practice. Also, there is nothing like a set of high quality samples optimized for a particular sample player, which is a big reason why even with small sample sizes, ROM-based hardware synths sound as good as they do. Sure as CPU's get better we will get more programmability and internal DSP in the players, but what's there is already very good. I personally think that Spectrasonic's embracing of this medium is going to have bigger ramifications than even Spectrum might realize. The new Halion String Library seems to be a step in this direction as well.

Though cumbersome, if you need it, you could always pump atmosphere output wave files via your sequencer into halion or Kontact ! I don't know what format the atmosphere files are in and whether you can do it direct ?

Eric Persing = Roland synth sounds since 1984. If you have heard or played a Roland synth, you have heard his mastery of synth sound creation. Here is a fairly good bio on him

I sorta like my 1988 JX-10. It's actually built well, was only made for a little over 2 years and isn't a "groove" machine at all. Just a nice sounding synth.

Let's just say that spectrum and Mr. Persing have a similar relationship as Mr. Kent and Superman do....

spectrum

why did he made the presets of Roland ?????
I can´t believe, they were always ugly.

Maybe he is better with drums ?

Because:

"metamorphosis" is a sampling CD from spectrasonics with cooooool drum loops and excellent drum percussion to cut away. Yeah

Btw: JX 10 had always ugly presets ! I would be stupid not to edit them.....what a discussion

damn, I shouldnt have taken all drum loops from metamorphosis.....

.....but I couldn´t stop....

Yep....

I did the JX-10 sounds about 15 years ago....so that was a bit of a different time stylistically and I think I've gotten a little better in the mean time...hopefully

Glad you like Metamorphosis, that's something much more recent that I did...and is of course a totally different animal.

I'm always trying new aproaches and gathering new ideas, tools and methods. I think Atmosphere represents that pretty well. The Spectrasonics projects we've done like Distorted Reality, Metamorphosis, Stylus and Atmosphere definitely have more of my personality and taste than the Roland instruments that I've done...which by nature have to appeal to a much wider group of users in pretty much every musical genre.

Funny thread!

ok, most of the KVRists won´t believe that it is really Eric who is answering here, so therefore here is the test ultimative test for you Mr. Pirsing:

Btw: JX 10 had always ugly presets ! I would be stupid not to edit them.....what a discussion

Well, I never said I didn't tweak the pre-sets, but I did like how warm some of them sounded. Isn't the word "always" sort of a blanket statement? but anyway, all I know is that the Spectrasonic sample cd's kick ass over everything else I've ever heard and I have my Atmosphere on order!

P.S. I hate kiddies

no dude don't get me wrong i ve a collection of old roland gear that would make a lot of tranceheads jealous , i just think they suck now with all the rompler/groove crap they 've been putting out! i mean how can the company who invented the ultimate (semi)analog drum box (909) release something like the dr-groove piece of shit ? roland stopped being relevant when they started getting M1 envy! the ground is now being broken by companies like waldorf and the whole Vsti scene.

uhhh afx23 you little 13 years old cracking wankman, nobody invited you to this little party !!

Go away !!! Go back to your Yamaha CS-1X and play around with the presets.

Damn.....

ROFL. Well, I'm not about to give up my XV5080, or my Fantom, or my Handsonic, or my expansion ROMS's. Especially my JV-06 Dance ROM. It is one of my favorites and has some great programming. Has anyone tried the MC-909 yet? I plan to use my tax return for a TD8 and a Vpad 120 but this looks interresting.

edit: i'm stupid.

I think people need to calm down...

Getting back to the subject of the thread, spectrum has put together a product that a lot of people (including me ) want to get. More importantly, judging from the demos, it sounds as if it is a very inspiring instrument - thanks!

Hey funky,

I did the same.

Atmosphere sounds GREAT!!!

Actually, I created Atmosphere, really, it's all my own work, I just let Eric take the credit, I mean he just can't get a job these days, what with the recession an all, it makes him feel good and I get to feel all warm and gooey inside

Ben....I thought our agreement was that I was going to get ALL the credit!

I mean, now you've spoiled it! You just couldn't keep it quiet could you?

I want that hush money back, you ungrateful man!

....warm and gooey indeed!

spectrum

aah Eric:

are you planning another masterpiece like "metamorphosis" ?
When ?



bye

Ooops, I've spent it all

Bryllyant ; if you would care to actually check this forum out more, you'd know that most people here do know who spectrum is. You'd also realise that you're the one being the 'kiddie' here.
We already knew, you didnt. Okay?

Any moment now you'll tell us you didnt realise afx23 was the real Milli Vanilli.

Don´t nerve me little wankman !

Am I in this forum every day for 1 year now ? NO !
So, HOW should I know that spectrum is Eric ?

Some people at KVR are really right: you are like a little schoolgirl.

It's really cool so many people are getting into the Idea of Atmosphere...

So many people who have already bought it, and loving it too!!! those of you who are still waiting for their's you know your not gonna be disapointed!!!

What really amazes me is after watching this thread from the very beginning when 'Coldmachine' first posted 7 Days ago is that....

NO ONE HAS POSTED A REVIEW!??

I'd have put money on it that fellow KVR-ians would be rushin to get theirs in first

And yet there's not a single one!!!

I'd have put one up myself, as I've been playing with it for month's... ..but then someone would no doubt have bitched that I was biased

So come on sort it out guy's and gals..where da review's!!!!

Cheer's

Don´t nerve me little wankman !

Big words for such a little prick

Am I in this forum every day for 1 year now ? NO !

Learn to read, and stop behaving like a fuckwit towards people who already knew, ie Raven et.c.

Some people at KVR are really right: you are like a little schoolgirl.

Funny, you're the one behaving like you're still in kindergarden. Now grow the fuck up, will you.

Area man: "Look up in the sky - it's a bird, it's a plane, it's an ASIO stream. No, it's Spectruman".
Jimmy: "Gee Miss Lane, it sure is a pity that Mr Persing is never around to see Spectruman"
Lois: "Hmmmmm...???"

I am weak. I am flesh. I swore that Stylus would be my last big ticket plug. 'You don't need to spend so much cash', I figured. 'You're a pretty capable programmer of sounds', I said. 'Just do it yourself with the stuff you have'. A warm smile of contentment. A small self-administered pat on the back.

Then I foolishly come here like the addict I am and hear other addicts frothing at the mouth at _yet another_ topnotch spectrasonics product. Sheesh, talk about a lack of self-knowledge...

Still I can confidently predict that there is no chance in hell that I will be buying Trilogy.

ps thanks again for Stylus.

Oh man your gonna regret saying that in January when you just know your gonna be pulling the old credit card out yet again to make that purchase you previously thought you did'nt need

You know you want to!!!...you'll be on the phone to Sample division...I cn see it now...LOL

atmosphere is sold out !!

best service sold 100 !!! in one week and I have to wait 3 weeks for my atmosphere....

So therefore I will check out the other sampling CD´s from Eric today.

Hey folks: Listen to metamorphosis if you like atmosphere in the drums.

bryllyant

Do you think Atmosphere will hit Absynth sales ? Seems there is a lot of overlap there.</
