Persing introduced Omnisphere 2.5 at Superbooth 2018, where he showed how it worked with an array of synths:

Here are the details on what’s new in Omnisphere 2.5:

Hardware Synth Integration

The initial release officially supports over 30 popular hardware synthesizers from Moog, Dave Smith Instruments, Roland, Korg, Novation, Nord, Access, Studiologic and Sequential, and Spectrasonics says that more are to come.

Hardware Synth Integration feature in version 2.5 goes beyond the typical “MIDI Learn” approaches that most software synthesizers employ. The Spectrasonics development team has designed unique “Hardware Profiles” for each supported hardware synthesizer, making the special features of that synthesizer work seamlessly with Omnisphere by translating MIDI messages from the hardware into useful sonic results in Omnisphere.

This allows Spectrasonics to enable sophisticated interactions from a single touch of a knob, including the ability for Omnisphere to automatically switch interface pages, recall entire FX racks, assign multiple scaled parameters and even instantly create complex modulation matrix routings on-the-fly.

The new development system also allows Spectrasonics to add new profiles for new hardware synths in the future. Most importantly, it’s easy for musicians to use – simply select the hardware synth from the drop-down HW menu and Omnisphere is now linked to that hardware synth.

Here’s an in-depth look at how Omnisphere 2.5 works with various supported synths:

Synths covered:

01:15 – Dave Smith OB-6

Expanded Synthesis Capabilities

The new version 2.5 vastly expands the synthesis capabilities of Omnisphere by doubling its voice architecture to Four Layers per patch. Each patch can now utilize up to 12 envelopes, 8 LFOs and the Modulation Matrix has been doubled to 48 modulation routings.

Newly designed State Variable Filters are included, which were specially created for the OB-6 hardware profile and can seamlessly blend between lowpass, notch and hipass filter modes.

Over 100 New DSP Oscillator Wavetables based on the supported hardware are included and featured in the new hardware profiles.

Update

New Hardware Sound Library

Omnisphere 2.5 also adds the new “Hardware Library”, which offers over 1,000 new patches created by Persing and the Spectrasonics Sound Development team.

Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere controller. The new sounds are available for all users, though, whether or not you’re using Hardware Synth Integration.

New High Resolution Interface

Omnisphere 2.5 features a new graphic user interface, which includes Retina / high resolution graphics for 4K monitors. The new interface has been given an aesthetic refresh for a cleaner, more modern look and features larger controls.

The new GUI is now easier to use and scalable to fit comfortably into your workspace. The Live Mode page has also been redesigned to show much more relevant information onstage at a single glance.

New Granular Layout

The Granular page of Omnisphere 2.5 now sports a full waveform display and a clearer view of what each of the grains are doing at any moment.

This new layout makes it more intuitive to understand how Omnisphere’s powerful Granular Synthesis engine is working on the audio source.

Windows Multitouch Support

Version 2.5 of Omnisphere now fully supports Windows X Multitouch computers and tablets. This means that the new Live Mode page can function as a fully functional stage interface when used fullscreen on a Windows computer.

Pricing and Availability

Omnisphere 2.5 is available now as a free update for all registered Omnisphere 2 users. Details are available at the Spectrasonics site.

Omnisphere 2.5, an impressive update for an already impressive virtual instrument – the best part: it’s a free update for all Omnisphere 2 users.

by Alex Arsov, Nov. 2018

First of all, Omnisphere 2.5 is a free update for all Omnisphere 2 users. Secondly, the enhancements make this already legendary synth even better, if this is even possible. When you first read through the promo text explaining what’s new, you can easily get the wrong impression that the additions are just a “nice to have”, nothing much really. But having tried all those new synths I should tell that this far from the truth. As you can imagine, the devil is in the detail.

No matter which source you got your information from about this update, the first thing you would have heard about is the hardware integration. What initially crosses your mind is that Omnisphere now supports your MIDI controllers and now you can use it without doing any additional programming. That’s close, but not quite. Omnisphere support MIDI controllers. But now it also support, actually work with a whole palette of synths that have their own unique character and sound, and this is just a start. One thing is that Omnisphere now models a large number of well-known analog and virtual analog synths, along with some digital hardware models, and Spectrasonic claims that there will be even more of those in the future.

So, what actually does this “support” really mean? It means that when you choose one specific model Omnisphere will load the appropriate set of waveforms and filters for that model and the end result – the sound produced inside Omnisphere – will definitely have the character of that specific hardware model. Not only that, if this synth has some specific set of effects, like Chorus and Flanger, tweaking any knob in the effect section will automatically load those two effects – Chorus and Flanger.

Of course, along with all those hardware synth adopted waveforms, we get over 1,000 new presets that can be found inside the Hardware Library directory. I immediately went to some Access Virus sounds as I had that synth in the past, and was delighted to hear all those fat and nasty analog sounds from that model inside Omnisphere. Hats off, Spectrasonic! Hat’s off!

Many Other New Goodies

As Omnisphere 2.5 brings four layers per patch instead of the previous two, you can just imagine how some of those new sounds can sound. Of course, as with all software, Omnisphere can easily overcome some of the limitations of those hardware synths. If the chosen hardware synthesizer has only one oscillator it doesn’t mean that you have the same limitations inside Omnisphere. It’s no big deal to set up four oscillators per layer.

Next is the redesigned main graphical interface. Now everything looks more up to date and, best of all, it is now resizable, allowing you to modify the plug-in size according to your needs.

There are a host of other new additions including new wavetables and new State Variable filters. With granular synthesis we can go crazy, as now we can select a part of a sound inside a new waveform window made for this purpose, and the end result is just dependent on – or we should say, limited by – your imagination and your free time. If you take the time, you can easily come up with some very original solutions.

I assume plenty of you are thinking: what should we do with granular synthesis if it is only limited to the waveforms that come with Omnisphere? Well, that’s not true anymore, because now you can load in any audio file and use it with the granular or as a sample based waveform that you can process through all of Omnisphere’s filters/effects/etc. All you need to do is to grab a sound and drag it into the Omnisphere interface. Quite simple indeed.

Spectrasonics also refreshed Live mode, making it even more functional. At the same time they added multi-touch functionality (pc only), so now it is easier than ever to manage this beast. Also, from version 2.4 there is also a standalone version of this instrument.

We Can Go On Forever

This new update is “more and more” in almost all directions as Spectrasonic obviously decided to refresh this instrument quite thoroughly. So, if you already have Omnisphere 2 you will no doubt download this update because, after all, it offers a great deal and is free. If you don’t have Omnisphere 2 yet, then this is the time to consider acquiring it.

Omnisphere was already a rather essential tool. At first I even thought, this is more for media composers, but after I got it, I realized that it is one of the most powerful tools on the market. It used to be a sample based syntesizer – after version 2 it turned into a synthesizer with great number of sampled and DSP waveforms and now it becomes more and more just a “synthesizer”. One way or the other, you will need an additional two reincarnations to get through all the sounds and options, and you will no doubt learn that most of the sounds are really good, far better than I expected. That makes this sample based synthesizer the perfect tool for all kinds of music. To quote the Blues Brothers, it is appropriate for both kinds of music – Country and Western. It is without question a “go to” tool for all genres of music – just name a genre, and this one will fit in.
