Spectrasonics has announced the release of Omni TR - the new App designed to turn an iPad into a multi-touch control surface for Spectrasonics flagship Omnisphere power synth.

The 'Touch Remote' Concept
Omni TR introduces the new 'Touch Remote' concept, which combines the tactile advantages of the iPad with Spectrasonics' powerful computer-based virtual instruments. The end result is an inspiring hands-on interactive performance experience that opens up many new possibilities to users of Spectrasonics instruments. With Omni TR, you can create Omnisphere setups and sound modifications on the fly, activate sounds, tweak filters, remix, bend and spin amazing performance variations.

Live Performance Interface
With its high contrast interface, Omni TR is perfect onstage for live performance or even in the studio where the iPad sits at the controller keyboard located away from the studio computer. Best of all, the Omni TR app is extremely easy to use, offering full two-way communication with Omnisphere with just a simple wireless connection to the computer running the plug-in.

"One of the big differences between software and hardware synths is the feeling of hardware that's so wonderful," says Eric Persing, Founder and Creative Director of Spectrasonics. "With the iPad and our new Omni TR app, we are excited to bridge that gap and bring the sense of touch to state-of-the-art virtual instruments like Omnisphere."

The new Omni TR iPad app is free to registered users and is compatible with Mac and Windows systems running Omnisphere v1.5 or higher.
