Sounds like anyone who is currently getting "thin, midi sounds keeps me from forwarding this" on their critiques can pretty much instantly solve that problem!

Oh man... I even had a dream about it. They were selling them for $299 and I was getting one! I woke up and realized I'll have to cough up a few more bones to get it. AND I'll have to WAIT. Drat. Yeah, bye-bye to "thin midi sounds"...

I don't know...I'll probably pass.How many people have Atmosphere but find very little use for it? I mean it's got some great sounds but fitting them into a song is a bit tough...

Ahhh, but this one is far superior to Atmosphere!!The possibilities with this baby remind me of the first time I saw Stylus RMX! Since I use that on virtually every track I do, I can't begin to imagine Omnishpere sitting on the sidelines.At this point if Spectrasonics sold a lawnmower I would go out and get one!Cisco

I load up Atmoshpere on most of my projects. The thing is I do a lot of "Atmospheric" stuff so it's a good fit for my style. I've also used the lead synth and synth bass patches on stuff as well.I also do some editing of filters and envelopes to modify the sounds to taste. You can also re-combine different sounds from the library to give more combinations and new patches.Most of the Atmosphere sounds are very big and take up a lot of sonic space. Sometimes with Atmosphere 1 or 2 notes is enough to fill out a pad. That being said, if one digs below the surface of the factory patches and actually modifies the sounds, it's pretty endless what can be done with it. That's the thing, though, most people don't bother to go beyond the factory patches and pretty much judge an instrument on those sounds and don't look in to the editing capabilities.Omnisphere looks to be pretty revolutionary in a lot of ways but one the most interesting is being able to link the Stylus grooves with the arpeggiator. Again, if one digs into Stylus and uses it to it's full potential, between that and Omnisphere it will be a very very powerful sound shaping tool.But, of course, we'll all hear the factory patches on our favorite reality show 15 days after the sofware comes out. Learn what those knobs do!!Mazz
