Admitting that this is still on my "to get" list, I saw this for all the Omnisphere folks out there!

KVR: Spectrasonics announces Omnisphere v1.5 with "The Orb"

from the article-



Highlights of Omnisphere 1.5:
Innovative "Orb" 'circular sound manipulation' interface with Motion Recording and "Dice" button for infinite variations and one-touch sound customization.

Expanded Synthesis capabilities:
Harmonia: New zoom page shows all Harmonia parameters per layer adding up to 10 oscillators per patch with new independent modulation options for Levels and Fine Tuning on each Harmonia oscillator.

Granular Synthesis: New 'Speed' and 'Position' modes. New zoom page with new 'Granular Visualizer' showing a graphic model of the effect of parameter edits which makes Granular synthesis easier to use.

Ohh yeah! I love Spectrasonics. They are such a great company to be a customer with, and I find myself using Omnisphere, Trilian and Stylus all the time since I got them. They are really the leader of the pack in tems of quality products and customer care, as far as I'm concerned.
