OMNISPHERE COST TV
What I can say from the NKS libraries I offer and the numbers I see, Omnisphere has easily 30:1 downloads compared to the next most popular library so it is by far one of the most popular synth out there of probably all time and still you would be hard pressed to easily pick it on a production to say "uh, that's an Omnisphere sound for sure." which is completely opposite from a lot of content from Kontakt for instance especially animated stuff like drums and session strings etc which I hear all-the-time especially on TV shows and documentaries that always use the same action strings and damage libraries etc.Īlso, you are hard pressed to find anyone that would say they were disappointed by Omnisphere, they have been one of the most innovative companies ever with VSTs. It's prob a hard one to really justify today if you already have bought into Komplete 13 which is loads bigger than it was and even things now like Pigments or Falcon which are more modern and similar in scope, how much it would add for you I have no idea.

You wont get multi-GB sampled strings or any detailed drum kits, in fact I purchased Komplete 8 after Omnisphere to "fill in" on the targeted sampled instruments you don't get, but it's things like Arpeggiated stuff, the multi-layered sounds and multis, pads, leads, soundscapes, clean strings and guitars, stuff that's just different etc.

I recon it has been in almost every production I have done in the last 13 years so it's probably my number 1 favourite synth of my 25 years. I have over 500 VST instruments now, countless libraries and close to 1 million presets, 99% I will never even touch, but I have personally never been more inspired than that day when I first used Omnisphere and still have not dove right into the guts of it. I recon I managed to create 10 projects in 2 days from the first 10 presets I clicked. Back when you purchased boxed versions of plugins and installed them from multiple CDs I cannot tell you the instant gratification when I loaded it up and heard things like the steel pedal guitar and some of the lush sounds.

When I first made the (huge decision at the time) to spend $500 on Omnisphere v1 I was worried it would be a waste of money given my mediocre skills and having used mostly just Korg plugins, free VSTs and samples/sound fonts at the time. No argument they don't sound great but for someone like Me who isn't a piano or keyboard player, can barely play anything interesting, I need something that has more interesting sounds out the gate and like you mention, Omnisphere just has such a diverse soundscape especially because it is a complete hybrid sample/synthesis engine it has a bit of everything in there and makes it super easy/fun to find some new inspiration that I cannot achieve with just messing around with a modelled synth in such a short time.


V collection is great if you are hardware synth guy/keyboardist and want recreations of these without the hefty cost of hardware. Click to expand.Yeah it really comes down to what kind of sound and playing style a user wants.
