Omnisphere: will there be another?

[Echoes in the Attic]

I have all of Spectrasonics products as well as all the libraries and extensions for Omnisphere. I don't want a radical overhaul of the interface as I find it works really well for me after 17 years of use. The sonic extensions have their own interfaces which you can override and just use the regular Omnisphere interface if you want. For me, the things I would like most are:

Multicore CPU support. Right now you cannot really run complex multis in a single Omnisphere instance which is really a shame since that interface is really good. Every other feature is a distant second to this one thing that should have been done years ago.

Stylus RMX support inside of Omnisphere as a drum sequencer with enhancements. I love Stylus RMX still and don't want support to just disappear. I also want it integrated with the STEAM engine.

Complex LFO support and at least two more per voice LFO's beyond LFO 8. This would make the Orb kind of unnecessary and I agree with a previous post that said while it is powerful it is a bit disappointing.

Better sample engine support and yes that means multi-samples at the very least as well as better modulation of sample parameters.

Additive synthesis would be nice to have. The Harmonia oscillators are cool but that is not additive synthesis.

I think Eric and friends are going to come out with a version 3 at some point for sure. Not sure when unfortunately. For anyone worried about paying for an upgrade be aware that you never pay for any upgrades for software once you have purchased it. It is expensive up front but over a lot of use it is absolutely worth it.

Are you sure about that? I seem to remember paying to go from 1 to 2, as well as paying to move to Omnisphere from Atmosphere, when they deprecated it.

I am totally sure of this and I have records of my payments. I never migrated from Atmosphere. The upgrades even from 1.x to 2 were no charge.

No. It was an upgrade from v1 to v2 for everyone.

My omnishpere v1 to omnisphere v2 was $203.81, it wasn’t free, but it was a great purchase I’ve never regretted.

The regular price to upgrade from Omnisphere 1 to 2 is $249 as of today.

The current GUI is fine, but it needs an alternate GUI as well, one that hogs screen real estate and crams as much functionality in as it can. It would speed up programming immensely and make creating scratch patches much more enjoyable.

Multicore CPU. I have 16 cores and can see some Omni instances with heavy fx use peg one channel/core in Live.. that would be indeed the first one. Diva went from "140% overload" to "can be used" back in the day when they introduced the multicore.

Some ai function would be ok.... a'la synthplant or something. ..
Then they could call it OMN AI SPHERE
