Not sure of how many people here own it, but it is a great deep synth to invest in. They haven’t charged for an update yet. This update is very exciting.
I make 90% of my synth samples with either Omnisphere or Reaktor.
-New waveforms
-Moar Mod sources
-New GUI
-New Patches
I never had any regrets paying for it. It’s not the end all be all imho however
I bought it so I can stop struggling to get that “professional quality” sound so often. It’s like the Waves plugins bundle of synths hehe…
It does a lot more than what they feature in the demo vids.
The orb with some pitch bending is insane.
Envelopes can almost reach audio frequencies, I used to design waveforms with them before they came out with the wave-tables. Envelope Depth and Speed can be modulated as well, synced, looped, etc.
Just about everything is modulatable, even arp speed and gate
The omnisphere presets are pretty impressive. But when it comes down to the pure synthesis, omnisphere seems to me a bit limited and also cluttered in workflow…? Don’t you think?
Limited? Name one synth that isn’t limited in some way.
Workflow? Haven’t had a problem with it until it comes to automation but all my stuff is sample based mostly anyway. Just right click and assign modulation basically.
The sound quality saves a lot of time when it comes to mastering.

That said I find Omnisphere of course not that limiting either. It is more that it feels somehow cluttered, divided into many tabs and semi-hidden sub menus.
No, only the other two. But I know MachFive a bit and talked to Falcon users. Seems to be a good sampler, too, maybe even Kontakt replacement? I want it, too
