Those glide curves look very interesting - sounds not unlike the glide curves in Imposcar 3.

Hope they add a "Random" button like the G-Force synths that loads a random preset

If 41,000 presets aren't enough...

For an AI to generate 26,000 new synth sounds for Omnisphere, the process would take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks, depending heavily on the specific method and desired quality. The timeline is not a single, fixed duration because it involves multiple steps, including training the AI, generating the raw data, and processing/refining the final patches for Omnisphere.

We'll be selling the upgrade for lower than $199. Putting it up now.

I'm assuming the shipping thing is a mistake, and I can just select local pickup and download everything. No?

It’s a physical product. We give free shipping on orders of $199 or above. If you can wait a little bit, I’ll try to change that to $169 or above so this gets free shipping.

A physical product!? Well, let me hitch up the team and go down to the mercantile to go fetch it!

I got Omnisphere 2 as a physical product. It was a weird flash drive in a box, but that was really pointless as I still had to download the entire library

But why in hells gate is EVERYBODY releasing their new stuff at this very moment ?
It´s beyond me........it´s contraproductive to just about everybody, any side.

Potentially grabbing what they can before everything is full of free AI driven slop?

I think seangm meant to load an existing preset, randomly choosing one.

[zvenx]

They have a random sort, have had it I think since omnisphere 1, but you would have to choose which one to click on from the random sort.

EDIT - Sorry I missed the discussion above

Is this a physical product, or something I can redeem online?

This is awesome!! Hope all envelopes and LFOs are now capable of being polyphonic. It's my only wish really.

Absolutely. Deal breaker without.
Does anyone know?

Kinda.

Yes, any LFO can be polyphonic. BUT - only one at a time. (Same deal with Mod envelopes)

Thanks for that.
Same as 2 I believe, and no use at all to me.

On the video they show a mutator which seems infinitely more fun. You essentially load a patch and click mutate and it loads all new samples from the vast sample library at random and tweaks other settings

The really cool thing is that it automatically saves each new patch organized by date and time

i hope they will expand this like Absynth 5 Mutation and e.g. only mutate FX etc. (or maybe you can lock these? like Omnisphere 2)

I think the idea of grabbing new random samples from the massive and diverse sample library is really cool, as it will come up with different combinations than I could ever think of

From there using the new hardware integration with a MIDI controller allows you to easily tweak and change the global controls for envelopes, filters, effects, etc

Then if you want to dive deeper you easily can do exactly that and go down the rabbit hole

I can see myself spending tons of very enjoyable hours doing exactly this.

Ala Synapse Audio's "genetics"?

[Echoes in the Attic]

I wonder if the new interface is actually finally windows multi-touch compatible, like they claimed it was in V2, even though it wasn't, at all. Not that it matters much to be now as I'm back on Mac, but still curious.

[jobinho]

Not that I would use it, but disappointing that it still doesn't allow user multisamples.

My Dream would be NKI integration, not that that’s likely
