Greetings,

I finally upgraded to Omnisphere 2 this week, and I'm now looking around for top quality patches.

FWIW, I tend to make dub (reggae), ambient and world music, but I'd also be very interested to hear cross-genre what others think are their one or two favourite soundbanks.

I know The Unfinished (Matt) makes top quality patches, so I'll be looking to get them soon:

Also one of my other favourite designers, Ian Boddy, has just released an excellent new soundbank:

Are there any other Omnisphere 2 soundbanks that you highly recommend?
(Preferably no more than 2-3 recommendations per KVR member please).

Cheers,

luftrum, pluginguru, cl-projects (together with matt) are my favourite omnisphere patch designers...cheers

if you like ian boddy (i love both his sounddesign and music) you will love luftrum's soundbanks ("ambient 2" and "luftrum 14") but also "realm of omnisphere" from cl-projects is great (and has a comparable sound aesthetics). while you're visiting the cl-projects side be sure to also have a look at his kontakt instruments. john lemkuhls soundsets are also great but due to the sheer diversity you have to take a closer look (which should be fun because he has some very informative patch walkthroughs for his products).
cheers

Pluginguru, Audiority, Plughugger are my favs as well as The Unfinished.

Great stuff Gosh and ChasingAndromeda

Loads of excellent artists there.
Realm of Omnisphere in particular is amazing, and I really like Plughugger's Event Horizon and techno ideas too.

This could get quite expensive!

From my favorite sound designer of them all:

Most highly recommended.

A new excellent soundbank, in addition to the free one.

And this one is not bad either.

And I thought I'd mention this one, as few people know about it.

Since you are into World music, this one might be of interest.

Great stuff dmbaer and Armadillo, thanks for those excellent suggestions.

Joseph Hollo's Delight soundbank is amazing (and I've previously bought his Sylenth Goldmine product which takes the Virus-EDM-like Sylenth in a wonderful new direction).

Those Symmetry and Ikarus banks are top notch too

Cheers.

Holy f**k this is good! Lot's of 5 star ratings here and not even half way through yet.

Cool - thanks for the heads up aMUSEd

Do you have any plans to make any further Omnisphere banks yourself?
(I use your Voxworks, as well as some of your other excellent soundbanks).

Most of Plughugger, some of Pluginguru, The Unfinished and some of the Sounddesigner named above, but when it comes to Dub I really like the hard, direct and unambient two Soundbanks from Ilio named
Fire Water and PULSAR, great for use with some VST Dub Plugins

Maybe you like it

Probably - I have some patches I'll add at some point, either to Voxworks or a new bank. Thing is I don't set out to design patches, they are usually just a by-product of me making music with a plugin so the more I'm playing that plugin the more patches accumulate but sometimes it can take months or longer to accumulate enough to share. That's why most of my banks are never finished.

Excellent - thanks for the info about Ilio, KushiQ.

No problem aMUSEd.
Quality > quantity always.
(That's what I tell the missus anyway)

Omnisphere 2 soundbanks - which do you think are the best ones?
