Hi.

I'm working on updates  to the Omnisphere sets, but am in the middle of a
house move right now so haven't got time to do much for a while.

I can currently fully utilize the browser interface, the mixer for multi
channel use and the arpeggiator which includes a midi file import function
so you can create your own arpeggiator patterns.

On my system it works flawlessly so if anyone wants a copy, let me know.

You must be familiar with Omnisphere to some extent as I simply don't have
the time to provide tech support.  Hell, I had to work it out myself so it
can be done.

Cheers

With the hot spot set, you can choose Omnisphere presets. Unless there have
been extremely recent developments, you can't edit anything.

That's one big reason why Dimension Pro is still better. You might load a
synth bass preset, and not like it right away, but you can adjust the
polyphony so that it is a mono glide style bass instead of poly, you can
change the filter type and cut off+resonance to adjust the tambor, you can
change the effects that Dim Pro puts on it, use parametric EQ to stress or
reduce particular harmonics, Maybe load a second bass sound in to another
one of the 4 elements to make a stack, then save your customized version as
a new preset. As nice as Omnisphere sounds, you can only scroll through
hundreds of presets until you find one that you like. With Dimension Pro,
the presets are starting points that you edit to your taste.

Yes; it is expensive. There are lots of cheap synths that sound terrible,
though, and a quality keyboard workstation like a Motif costs thousands of
dollars. $400 isn't much for the quality sounds, but, again, you can't edit
them, so that limits the usefulness.

Omnisphere is just another softsynth plug in. You use it in Sonar just like
Dimension Pro, Rapture, Pentagon, TTS-1, etc.
