Omnisphere 3

very unique

That's just the usual rhetoric of the choir though. Commercial comeback that's becomes more and more dated as time moves on. It is just a tool in the box with many others doing the same (and in some respects, used more than Omni).

Can you please share an example of another tool that does what Omnisphere does. Thanks in advance

That would be subjective to my use and flow. It would just start a circular discourse between us that ultimately would go nowhere. And I believe you know that.

I have noticed more credits being shifted towards Zebra and Hive with a few more listing Pigments though. Far less credits for Spectra than they had in the 90s and early 2k.

When the bottom line is not the theoretical but the final application, then many things (as in your own set up) do the trick better than "the one promising to do it all".

I posed looking honestly at where and what that might be. But at times, I feel like I'm asking a substance abuser in denial how much they're using with just the numbers bring reversed.

So more often, the cognitive distortions seem the thing to watch more closely since the use of it seems as abstract as the bloat.

what difference does it make how many sounds one uses from a synth plugin? if i use and enjoy only a few sounds from any plugin, it's a worthwhile investment. and the more choices i have, the more likely i'm going to find just what i need...

See what I mean?

Be honest though in telling us what percentage of that 500 dollar plugin you'll actually use. It is and has been a bloat beyond belief of abstract ideas without any practical application. And still needs the other two (Trilian/Keyscape) to achieve a closer to omni tag.

Yeah, "Omnisphere as a concept. "

Based on my usage of Omnisphere 2 over the past 9-10 years I would say somewhere north of 90%

You use 90%+ of Omnisphere or you use it 90%+ of the time? Knowing your posts in other threads, and the many of other members of the current expanse of Omni, either seems highly improbable.

You asked a question and I answered it. Now you want to shift the goal posts which is hilarious

Again you asked

Be honest though in telling us what percentage of that 500 dollar plugin you'll actually use

And that answer is 90%. I will use North of 90% of its features which was your original question before you hilariously moved the goal posts

No it's cut and dry, as either other tools can do what Omnisphere can do or they can't

It's not dependant on workflow

But once again you are hilariously moving the goal posts

So again I ask what other tools can do what Omnisphere does

[Sonic Illusions]

What can I say? Without love it ain't much

[IvyBirds]

See what I mean?

Awesome why you don't tell us which Synths you own where you use 100% of its sounds?

people will pay tens of thousands or more for a Steinway Grand that only plays one sound, people will pay hundreds of thousands for a violin that only makes one sound

Omnisphere has thousands of samples and presets you won't find elsewhere. All it takes is a single sound that is important to you to justify its costs

[fisherKing]

more sounds means more choices. who doesn't want more choice? now much of that we use isn't important, what we have to choose from is what matters.

i want new sounds, have considered deleing my 7 main synths, and moving to... omnisphere 3. at $500, it's cheaper than 7 new plugins. seems a win to me...

I'm a preset scroller, I like the approach of Sound Particles MiniDust synth. Just discovd it

that's pretty off-topic tho, isn't it? minidust is a 'basic' synth with 250 presets.

omnisphere's competition would be falcon, NI, perhaps nexus 5 (there's a few others too). i've always avoided these 'do everything' plugins but may now dive into omnisphere...

I never made any claim of such.
And as time goes by, I'm finding the use of any synth plugin to be less and less, returning full circle to the more traditional instruments I began with. The abstract is becoming droll. I use arpegiators less and less, preferring to use them more as a trainer in finger exercises. So too with sample phrase loops. Nice teachers, but cheats to actually drag/copy/paste/use in finality.

What I use most lately is Pianoteq and Lounge Lizard. And mostly because of their playability. And those almost daily. In practice, play, performance and production. Any synthesizer probably is in the 2-8% range and how much I use of any one of them is probably 2-20% of its abstract capabilities. And in general, not to practice or progress as a musician. They are for the most part, production and performance tools.

Hopefully that can bring others to answer without deflecting into the cult rhetoric...

So, what your thoughts about Omnisphere Fxs? Seems that in version 3 they was update the quality. And maybe Fxs fack is a really good bonus and one of the reason to update version 2 to version 3.

The FX are top notch just having them in stand alone form that can be run by itself and process anything is worth $199 to me without all the other upgrades

Especially the reverbs

Thanks. Interesting, how about compressors?

There are 3 new additions:
LA-2A, 1176 and Fairchild (I think). It'll be interesting how good they are but judging by their effects so far I think they will be great as well.

It's true. I am also very interesting how good they are. Just one thing - the interface of them are small compare to normal fxs...

Small? This is the new LA-2A compressor in Omnisphere

Here is the UAD version which I own

The Waves version and many others look pretty .much exactly the same as they feel the need to recreate the look of the hardware on the screen and waste so much screen real estate doing it

I much prefer the Spectrasonics approach that allows you to have more options and control rather than waste screen space recreating old hardware onscreen

And of course all of those controls are just an easy right click away from being mapped to your controller

Looks good! Thank you. I don't have UAD and will.be nice to check this version from Specrasonic! Hope that it's also amazing as UAD

But you expect people to use 100% of Omnisphere, including all of its sounds

[BBFG#]

No, not at all. I just ask for what they really do and am getting obvious deflections or questionable responses.
