I'm in touch with the Vienna guys. Thee product has the potential to be
more accessible than it is. What I recommend is that you invest in whatever
libraries of there's that you want and get initial sighted help to set up
track templates in Sonar featuring the sounds you're most likely to use.
Their key switch method would allow you to switch articulations in their
best instruments very easily. So, once you had the instruments loaded that
you wanted, you could do a lot. So, get that initial sighted help and play
on. Also, you could probably share your track templates with other users.
The other user would simply have to reassign outputs once the track template
was loaded on their rig and then resave the template, I guess.

EastWest's symphonic orchestra has good strings and violins...but honestly,
i have friends who use stuff by vienna for strings, and I've not heard
anything that comes close to those. They sound absolutely awesome. I think
Kevin has talked about using vienna products in past posts on here. so maybe
he'll chime in.

it's a general synth with sounds from different genres of music. It's got
rock and acoustic guitars, some pianos, strings, woodwinds, brasses, basses,
synths, etc.

Bryan,
I personally wouldn't recommend either atmosphere or omnisphere for great,
natural-sounding, woodwind, string, brass, or other natural instruments. I
would label them as average at best. Just my opinion, though. A better synth
for that kind of stuff is EastWest's colossis. The only drawback to that is
that you need sighted help to copy and paste the presets into sonar.
Otherwise, it isn't accessible.

All of you people using Omnisphere, what is your opinion of the sound
quality in terms of bread and butter sounds? All of the demos that I've
found are full of amazingly pulsing, throbbing, morphing, arpeggiating,
swirling textures and synth tambers. That sounds great for creating
atmospherics, or for scoring television action shows. However, how well does
Omnisphere serve as a general purpose go-to instrument? For example, I have
lots of plugs if I want drums, pianos, electric pianos, guitars, and synths.
However, when the odd situation comes up, and I need a sax, a ukulele, a
harpsichord, or a sitar, I need a general purpose synth to go to. I've used
various things for that over the years, but I'm now in a spot where the old
stuff like Hypersonic isn't available anymore on Win 7, and I'm trying not
to use hardware synths anymore, so can't just track in something from one of
those.
So, how do you rate it for general purpose sounds?
Bryan
