Can it load Version 1 patches - Im wondering?

 

yes. of course.

 

From what I understood while doing my research, It isn't "Omnisphere 2", its "Omnisphere" version 2.0 - meaning that it will replace your current .dll and is fully backwards compatible just like say if you went from 1.4 to 1.58.

 

Who's got bets on when it will be liberated?

 

First Omnisphere 2 video is on youtube. It shows what the engine does with one piano sample (kind of).

Really curious about more, hope people do some videos on more things of this beast.

I saved up 399 and my car ended up in the shop which cost me 650!!!!!! You know the saying life hands you lemons you make some key lime pie

 

how long did it take them to crack the first one?

 

i ended up buying omnisphere 1 to get the free upgrade and dang it seems spectrasonics servers are having problems because i cant download the upgrade or maybe its me :P

 

Not long. Surely less than how long it will take them to crack the second one.

Please, we need a request at az, NOW. I can't believe there isn't one yet, the thing has been out for several hours already

 

Wouldn't suprise me if the requests / release gets delayed a bit to give Spectrasonics some time to make some (well earned) money. Same happened to Serum a while back if I am not mistaken.

 

Do not expect it to be cracked this year.
