Spectrasonics updates Omnisphere to v1.1 (incl. x64 and Trilian Library Integration)

Spectrasonics has announced the release of version 1.1 of the Omnisphere Power Synth - featuring native 64-bit Windows support, core library integration with Trilian and more.

For users who have both virtual instruments, sounds from Trilian can now be opened inside Omnisphere - allowing deeper editing of the Trilian sounds, as well as the creation of layers and splits with both instruments' sounds in the same environment. The Trilian library integration feature expands Omnisphere's capabilities by providing thousands of new sounds to work with inside Omnisphere. The 1.1 update also gives users additional software support for Trilian's multi-channel sound-sources, release layers, round robin samples, and special legato articulation triggering. Omnisphere 1.1 also adds new Memory Management, Sample Thinning and the "Lite Version" feature also found in Trilian for faster loading and auditioning of sounds.

Omnisphere v1.1 is now 64-bit native for the Windows platform, allowing much greater amounts of RAM to be accessed in 64-bit hosts, as well as even better STEAM Engine performance. Version 1.1 includes a new "Lite Version" button in the browser, which loads a smaller selection of any patch's samples - a great time saver when users browse many sounds exploring what might work best for a project. When the correct patch is decided on, the user can simply turn off the Lite Version button and the full patch will be loaded.

For realtime performance, the integration of Trilian patches inside Omnisphere v1.1 is ideal for live players. For example, in Stack Mode, users who own both programs can easily set up a Trilian bass sound in the left hand and crossfade to multiple Omnisphere 'keyboard synth' sounds in the right hand, each with user definable split points.

Omnisphere version 1.1 also includes various interface improvements found in Trilian as well as RTAS support for any number of processors on Pro Tools systems.

Omnisphere v1.1 New Features at a Glance:

• Trilian Library Integration: Support for loading Trilian factory sound-sources, patches and multis in Omnisphere.
• 64-bit native support on Windows.
