User-friendliness isn't exactly Spectrasonic's forte. I'll be downloading the update today, regardless. Anything that improves that resource hog's efficiency will be much appreciated. Although I use it a lot, the decision to do so is often predicated on track count. Combine Trilian with Omnisphere and you can almost hear the CPU wheezing from the effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 The notes don't make it clear if we need to download the patches and samples, too, or just the DLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 No, no no. I'm saying Trilian is a demanding instrument. Any improvements are welcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Installed the update and was reminded of another Spectrasonics annoyance - the need to re-authorize after every update. I just went through this a couple weeks ago when I moved Trilian and Omnisphere to another drive. Sneeze, and you have to re-authorize. Anyhow, I checked my version numbers and did indeed need to re-install the patch library but not the samples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Rosefelt Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It's been on my list for a long time. It's always on backorder at Musician's Friend, which makes it easy to resist GAS. But I use Omni and KeyScape all the time. Very interested in those VIP patches, and maybe even the PluginGuru ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I hear @bitflipper ‘s reservations and respect that, but I personally have not had issues with usability. But I just dial in presets mainly, a tweak here and there and I am good to go. Also, my four year old i7 has never had problems with running Omnisphere and Trillian alongside each other in terms of CPU. Dave, you actually introduced me to Omnisphere a few years back and I have to say I’ve become a bit of Spectrasonics fanboy 😂, can’t wait to dive in with this update!

bitflipper Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yeh, I'm still a Spectrasonics fan boy. I just checked my most recently worked-on project, and although Kontakt remains king here, Spectrasonics is all over it. No Trilian on this one, though. For this one I used Orange Tree's Jaco. Here's the VI list: Omnisphere x 5 Keyscape Kontakt x 9 Zebra2 x 4 Superior Drummer IKM Hammond B-3X SWAM Alto Sax Why so many instruments? Half of these fall under the category of "ear candy", decorations that only happen once or twice in the song. Omnisphere is great for that. I use separate instances so that I can freeze as I go. It's mainly a piano piece, so of course Keyscape's Steinway is the centerpiece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Had a quick look and other than the new patches (always welcome) I didn't see a lot that as an Omnisphere owner I couldn't already do, but it's a very nice update for those who just have Trilian.

Reid Rosefelt Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Ordered! Damn you Greg Phillingames, The Pocket Queen, Eric Persing, and everybody else! 🤬 Knowing how much I use Omni and Keyscape, it's a wonder I resisted this as long as I have. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
