USER AUDIO:

Can I Use My Own Audio in Omnisphere 2?

Omnisphere 2 supports one audio file of any length per soundsource. You can layer up to two soundsources in a patch and 8 patches in a multi. Keep in mind that Omnisphere's focus is as a synthesizer and will never be a sampler with multiple velocities, key-mapping, round-robin, etc. - there are other instruments out there that do that very well.

Omnisphere 2 allows you to easily turn your audio files and even your audio tracks/mixes into synthesis source for Omnisphere 2s powerful oscillators. It's remarkable how much you can creatively mangle one sound and transform it into something awesome!

 

Fuck it, im gonna buy it...

 

You can fart into a Mic ! literally ! drag and drop into omnisphere and get some really cool, stinking sounds

 

AND ADD SOME EQING And you are good to go

 

Somebody could explain why this synth needs 64 GB of HD space?
If it was a sample library, I could understand but for a synth...

Looking at the likes of Absynth, Massive, Reaktor, Sylenth, Serum, Spire... and so on: Nothing comes close to this thing (I mean for diskspace requirement).
Basically, what can possibly justify this?

 

Because it has 60+ GB of sample content.

Massive, Sylenth, SPire etc are "analog-type" (to various degrees) synths - they don't use sample content.

Other things, Omnisphere included, can do converntional waveform synthesis (requiring no samples), but also a whole lot more using sampled sources.

If you don't like what Omnisphere is, stay away from it. It is a massive amount of content.

 

it has everything you could ever want

i have omnisphere since 2011 it has steam engine and it has a powerful interface you can't compare it to other synth
and you can use your own samples in it that's awesome

listen to first album of The Weeknd it called : Kiss Land

judge for yourself (The album was made by omnisphere only)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK-qaglcIwg

believe me just look at your hard drive and ask yourself : can i make space for omnisphere ? , answer yes you can

you will find a lot of libraries or plugins that's you don't use since a year or months

 

I think that depends on personal taste and genre. It's good for most of the genres but i didn't like v1 at all. I also listen to some demo sound for v2 and wow sounds so 2010 compared to what i usually make and listen nowdays.

Let me tell ya. It's a great sampler/plugin but if you are working with Club type of music Future House, Tropical House, Big Room, Progressive House (alesso & co.)... you can get better results with Massive, Sylenth, Spire or Serum, really... but this is probably just my thoughts, there are already some demo sounds on YouTube to check out.

Thanks anyway for people who shared this for the community like for Dune 2 (wich really sounds amazing).

 

sorry Mostwest i dont agree...no offense here

ok youre right in taste and genre but i think if you look under the hood of this Synth and the posibility

you would be amazed...in this update they even included an EDM Library so there are a lot of clubsounds in it...

that this was the weakness of Omnisphere everone thought well ok this Synth is good for Ambient or Filmscores...

but if you look closer then and now...the options to tweak a sound in Omnisphere are endless...

you can modulate everything with everything...taking a simple sinewave and modulate it with up to 6 LFO`s and

the 6 Lfo`s can modulate 4 Envolopes the Amp and even Filters all at one time in Realtime idid not even mention

to modulate the Granular or the Unison or the Waveshaper i dont know what else

would be needed to create a track...now the even included 400 new waveforms from well known Hardwaresynths

plus you can modulate your own samples..i think this Synth will cross our Way in many Genres

keep on rocking

 

I tried farting into the mic as per your instructions, but it didn't go according to plan .. could you recommend a good mic cleaning service for me?

 

LMFAO

 

Of course it's not me or you, it's a about a personal thought on a plugins. Everyone has his opionion. I heard about these """" EDM """" sounds. I think that very are ok if i was in the 2010. Nothing really fresh or really edgy. I can get better sounds from scratch in Massive or another already mentioned famouse synths.

I'm just warning people who produce Club type of music to hear the demo sounds before downloading stuff.

 

This will NOT mess with existing Trillian install right? (they share same STEAM folder content….)

 

don't worry , even when they share the same folder the installation will affect the omnisphere folder only but don't forget to install Trillian update if you want to use it inside omnisphere 2

 

It shouldn't. The R2R keygen initially wasn't working with the Trilian content library but later adapted after some testing. I guess it needed a new authorization or something. I believe it should work fine since like you said they share the same STEAM folder.

 

You got undressed to fart into the mic? That's hardcore. Props.

 

something useful maybe

when i ran the separate installer when it was done it asked for disk "b" yes i know 2 i had to go back manually and copy the content from ISO "A" manually only then did the V2 library appear.

i was fully expecting new presets. the only new presets seem to be the EDM stuff zzzZZZZzzz but yes a lot of new sample. and of course all the synth stuff and effects added. mind boggling the possibilities this thing has.

 

Trilian on its own will work just like before. Trilian inside omnisphere2 will work by using R2R keygen on Win, HEXWARS keygen on Mac. (there are hidden checks for Trilian library when used inside Omnisphere2, check defeated by R2R and HEXWARS keygens )

Maybe Trilian even work inside DYNAMiCS cracked Omnisphere2, dunno, didn't tested it.
Surely an install which is more similar to a legit one is done by using patched+keygen by the two mentioned groups.
Only thing different from a legit one is the RSA public key in R2R-HW releases, cause that just must be patched.
Not even the NSA with their CPU clusters could do it without changing the RSA2048 pubkey. (for now, and hopefully still for long time)...

Instead if you wanna use Trilian on its own and not inside Omni, just use the good old AiR keygen, that make licenses which are 100% identical to legit ones.

 

Hi guys, should I delete all the DVDs (~46GB) of the Omnisphere 1 off my hard drive if I have Omnisphere 2 installed? Thank you

 

This is a good Question Audio lover
i don't know about that since i have legit version of omnisphere ,
when i bought it they gave Me 6 dvds for omnisphere 1 & Now 20 GB Update to Omnsiphere 2
i recommend to wait for answer from someone who has the cracked version & that can confirmed either you will need omnisphere 1 or not

Note : either way don't forget to make a back up of all dvds of omnisphere 1 (burn them) in case

Answer : I doubt that since the cracked version of omnisphere 2 now has 8 DVDS & Omnisphere 2 has the all content of omnisphere 1
PS : I Hope someone can give you the right answer or confirm my answer
