TheSteven Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 We are excited to announce another significant update of our flagship software synthesizer Omnisphere®. Version 2.6 adds an enhanced Arpeggiator and dramatically expanded Hardware Synth Integration, with support for over 60 Hardware Synths! This update adds brand new profiles for such iconic synths as the Roland Juno-106, Alesis Andromeda and the Roland D-50, to the very latest synths like the Korg Minilogue XD and Moog One - as well as dozens of other user requested models. The FREE update will also include hundreds of inspiring new patches for all registered Omnisphere 2 users and will be available in March.Major Arpeggiator Update Omnisphere’s renowned Arpeggiator has been greatly enhanced with all new creative tools, a brand new preset library and much more. The musical possibilities are vastly expanded, making it one of the most flexible arpeggiators ever, while still being fun to use. Best of all, Omnisphere 2.6 can now capture the MIDI data of what the arpeggiator is doing as a standard MIDI file, which can be dragged to any DAW for further editing!Expanded Hardware Synth Integration Omnisphere’s unique Hardware Synth Integration feature bridges the physical experience gap between software and hardware, giving users intuitive control of Omnisphere by using the familiar layout of their hardware synth. With the new 2.6 release, many requested hardware synth profiles have been added, including support for over 60 popular hardware synthesizers from Moog®, Sequential®, Roland®, Korg®, Novation®, Nord®, Behringer®, Access®, Studiologic® and Yamaha®. The supported hardware synths cover a wide array of form factors and price ranges for different types of users.New Sounds Omnisphere 2.6 features a newly expanded “Hardware Library” with hundreds of new patches created by Eric Persing and our renowned Sound Development team. Notably, this update takes Eric’s classic sound design work from the original 1987 Roland D-50 into completely new sonic territory with Omnisphere’s vast synthesis capabilities. New Hardware Synth Profiles added in v2.6 include: • Roland Juno-106 • Roland D-50/PG-1000 • Alesis Andromeda A6 • Behringer Deepmind • Access Virus Indigo 1 • Access Virus Indigo 2 • Access Virus C • Access Virus TI • DSI/Sequential Pro 2 • DSI/Sequential Prophet 08 • DSI/Sequential Mopho • Roland JP-8000 • Roland JP-8080 • Roland Gaia • Roland JD-Xi • Roland SH-201 • Nord Wave • Nord Lead 3 • Nord Lead 4 • Nord Lead A1 • Nord Stage 3 • Moog One • Moog Minitaur • Korg MicroKorg • Korg MicroKorg XL • Korg Minilogue XD • Korg MS-20i • Korg MS-2000 • Novation MiniNova • Yamaha Reface CS *complete list of new features and supported synths will be announced upon the official release in March 2019.Pricing and Availability Omnisphere 2.6 is a FREE update to all registered Omnisphere 2 users!

TheSteven Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Woot! Just realized Omnisphere supports Korg's Monologue! I had assumed that it was not [insert favorite adjective here] enough for Spectrasonics to bother mapping it. I still have my old DX7ii with polyphonic aftertouch, I'd love it if Spectrasonics would add that to the list.

Zo Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Finally the arpeggiator gets on pair with the power of the beast !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I wish they would come up with a better way to buy the physical drive option as an upgrade in UK. The only reason I haven't upgraded from 1 to 2 is the massive downloads which experience has taught me never go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
