Omnisphere Software 2.8.1c (Version History) Includes the following features and fixes: Fixes graphics performance issues on macOS Monterey Fixes issue where Logic Pro did not register the correct Multi-Output bus configuration for the AU plugin Fixes issue where loading VST2 or VST3 presets from a Host could cause incorrect Patch info to be displayed on the GUI Fixes issue where the Synth Wavetables menu could display an empty "Sonic Extensions" menu for "FX Only" SE installations Sonic Extensions compatibility New Arpeggiator features: - New “Strum” step modifiers simulate guitar strumming. Specially featured in the “Nylon Sky” Sonic Extension, these modifiers can be used in any patch in Omnisphere - New "Humanity" knob controls the amount of randomization applied to individual note start times - New "Dynamics" knob controls the amount of randomization applied to individual note velocities New Modulation Targets: Arp Humanity and Arp Life Adds value-snapping detents for the Envelope ADR parameters on the Layer Pages and Custom Controls. Detents are only added when the Envelopes are host-synced.

By not having it, you're only wasting your own time and money with other stuff. 5 hours ago, InstrEd said: First just started college and second next year. So $$$ shall be tight. You'll be doing them a favour. Nobody in the entire history of the planet ever liked any kid that spent their whole life having everything handed to them on a plate. Tell them that going without stuff for a few years is actually for their own good and they'll thank you one day. If they don't, you'll be too busy in the Omniverse to even notice. You're welcome.

If not, you could always use Trilian inside of Omnisphere and access is that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that was the plan B 9 hours ago, InstrEd said: First just started college and second next year. So $$$ shall be tight. Omnisphere used to be the sh... but nowdayz you have a lot of great option around ... the main isdue with omnisphere is that it has bern used to death in productions (kinda like maschine for all this hip hop thing and ableton for that electro stuff ) Also its stegnth became its failure : to much sounds .. that s why i loked trillian and keyscape , kinda more specialised stuff . as for the sounds and presets : certainly one of the best if not the best ... the key is to know how to handle it in porductions ...( a lot of sounds are way too much ) interface is old , workflow is outdated , and price is high . So if you re into sound designing your own synth sounds ect ...other options can let you there for cheaper ... if you want to learn synthesis and have great sounds to layer with other , just grab great emu like softubes or arturia ...if you want a presets factory to look for indpiration and start from their , omnisphere rules .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This update came out when the "extensions" did. You can't run the extensions without it. Nylon Sky needs the strumming engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thks Reid , be sure to keep us posted on this one .... how do you find it ? worth the price ? really scpetical on those expansions price / value ratio giving what we can have for 149 euros today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands out over other nylon guitar instruments in creating unusual ambient sound design. That's its niche. I think it's a good VI but I was asking myself after I bought it whether I should have bought it when I own so many other nylon libraries. And that made me start comparing, and that let me to doing a video. I haven't done a music video in a very long time. There are other aspects where I think other nylon libraries are superior. For example, I think the patterns in the Native Instruments Nylon guitar is much better. I will compare features like number of articulations and It's the different ways each of them handles guitar noise. It's not a review so much as a comparison of features. It depends on which features are most important to you. I'm not doing anything on it this month, so I'm not sure when it will be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thks Reid , yep the arpg /step sequencer in omnisphere is really limited imho and the NI contact midi possibilities are superior , hence the greatvpatterns also in their expansions... don t you have an option like 14 dayz money back ?

I don't think NI or Spectrasonics offers that. Anyway, I want to keep both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
