  Hi Gord.

  Were you talking about the East West plugin, or Omnisphere?

  Cheers

    Well, I was never able to get it to work.  That's what I meant.  If it 
worked for you, then that's good.

      Wow gord, loser's a bit harsh.

      It all depends what you want to use it for.  It mightn't be an option for 
Bryan, but it's far from a loser.

      I write new age and soundscape type music and in my opinion it's the 
dog's goolies.

          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
