The new explorations format is awesome, and James does a great job presenting it! Please keep them coming, although I can’t join them live due to the time difference. Seasons greetings and a Happy New Year, already looking forward to the next one in 2022!

[@candormind3159]

It would be nice to see sound design exploration once in a while. Thank you really makes me love Omnisphere even more

[@DIGOOfficial]

Omnisphere is quite possibly THE best plugin ever created.

[@nebstaism]

I think it’s safe to say it’s the best vst synth ever...💯

[@normanlove222]

I waited waaaaayyy too long to start learning what all Omnisphere can do. Ive used it for like 2 years and Im learning all this cool stuff from this video. Ive been half steppin. 😊

[@skeller61]

I'm a rookie at 60, so I had enough to get every Spectrasonic product this year. I really like your whole team's enthusiasm and painstaking attention to detail. Since the old sounds are new to me, I appreciate the tips at the start of my journey. I ask only two things...can I get some keyboard tips from Greg Phillinganes...oh, and have the Pocket Queen sit in? Of all your product demo sessions, that one was off the chain!

[@petrgabaj4958]

What I also love about Omnispehere and Spectrasonics - how they cared about the user, browsing the library! For instance function PROJECTS is so much helpful!!! Wish all VSTs instruments were done with keeping musicians comfort on mind. Thank you!

[@Worship4LifeGuitar]

Great Plug in! Make sure you get an external hard drive to keep the whole library from eating your internal memory.

[@tp63us]

This was great! Looking forward to the next one.

[@grooveforjesus]

Guys you are simply the best. Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@otterguyty]

Yes, dry sounds! Awesome 👌

[@williamshears9953]

I'm so excited to watch this

[@yvanroustan4426]

Very useful video thank you !

[@DexterPiano]

Thank you for delivering us such great tools and advices to (try to) make good music ! The best plug-in company for me ❤️

[@RockyMountainSounds]

Congrats Jordan!

[@nickpmusic]

Yep digging Tip 1 :)

[@enfield20]

fantastic demo James, new inspiration for me approaching playing live in Omnisphere, you're my fav presenter since your Korg EMX demo lol

[@shunpillay]

These new live streams are awesome.

[@thaexception3406]

Great stuff

[@surgunmusic]

James rocks!

[@IkanDakai]

amazing stuff!

[@bigpluck51]

Thank a lot buddy. I really need to win a complete Omnisphere collection of my own. I only have access to my boy's whenever im @ his place & I'm so frickin' JEALOUS! However he's much too busy out drumming up business for his recording studio he doesn't devote time to watch these tutorials on KZbin. So I watch 'em & learn then relay it to him & he pays me to teach him. In fact I'm the one who told him if he wants the baddest synth in the land he should buy Omnisphere. He did then I put him onto Keyscape, Trillion & now SonicExtensions! Now with these Level Up podcast maybe I can earn enough to buy my own Spectrasonics collection. So please keep these sessions coming. I love Love LOVE Spectrasonics! -BiG Pluck

[@chandeleerjet5637]

Anybody who complains about the price has no idea the value of this plugin. It's one of the best modern achievements in music and i've been using it since the start and still learning and still havent heard all the sounds in it. It's so good that I'm really hoping they make the Moog One as an available controller so that I can use my 9k Moog One as a midi controller for it lol Please update with the Moog One hardware integration!

[@ryde2012]

Exactly 👍🏾 love omnisphere

[@QuantumSynths1]

This was great. I would have liked more of these videos.

[@jean-pierremagdo6856]

thanks for all the tips. I love the last one, i mean the one on using a different midi cc than the modwheel un the stack mode and the tips to put every sounds on Nect beat triggering

[@jenslempke7501]

That stack mode feature really rocks! Never seen it in any other vst. Like a spectral oscillator only with patches in stead of a simple sample. It opens up for great possibilities.

[@wonderboy_mr.d7885]

Watching from Philippines. ❤️

[@AceeSoul]

Good tips 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@soundscankilla]

Thank u very much for this amazing presentation/stream with all tips included! 🙂👍🏽 As soon as I got my O2 Box I will be able to use all these infos. Damn I almost got the giveaway 😃 So close… 😁 I meant sound lock but hit the keys too quick to answer 😅

[@danielsonderhoff5882]

The Exploration is a cool stuff! I’m using Omnisphere many years, since 2014. Is best Synth with the most features for sounddesign. I combine it with my Native Instruments Stuff like Komplete Kontrol S49 und the Maschine. So I don’t need extra midi controller. Today I became the wonderful tip with the stack and the cc control - it’s. My wish: Tips for more and deeper sound design with Omnisphere. Thanks for this cool presentation

[@handoromper7987]

That last multi-effect is crazy insane I love it. You only ever need to buy Omnisphere and you're done, but if you want to take it further get Undercurrent as well that is simply a song in a box. Just did the update on 21/09/2022 and no smart update is still the old way, I downloaded 3 packages separately. No big deal just saying it's still the same for me anyway.

[@stackerman2800]

unclean machines is fantastic too, great for hip hop

[@issiewizzie]

Finally figured out a way to modulate cross fade cc in "stack multimode ". Use a modulator that comes with most Daw. it will help free your hands up to play on the keyboard

[@violarulez]

I am always telling everybody i know to get omnisphere... truly amazing software. if anything i'd like to learn more about how to decrease CPU usage in my patch creation. for FL studio users: right-click on omnisphere in the channel rack, select "create directwave instrument"; it creates a sampled version of the synth patch that requires very little cpu usage .

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

support.spectrasonics.net/manual/Omnisphere2/25/en/topic/performanc-optimzation-new-draft-images

[@m22110]

These should be promoted more from your main site

[@issiewizzie]

can you assign the CC to a LFO so you get the automate blending /morph between sounds ...?

[@tubalublyudaak5736]

Is there any free trial for the Keyscape Rhodes piano and grand piano?

[@danielo174]

More of these tips and tutorials please. I use trillian all the time but still haven’t found any decent tutorials or inspiring advice about it. I know I’m missing out on so many cool attributes of the software but I have no good teacher or KZbinr to help.

[@ProducedI]

I was looking for more trillian vids and didn’t find much so I bought omnisphere instead

[@fotohound55]

Where can we dl the mod wheel switching and fading templates you demo’d? I love the Indian Expressions!

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

The custom Multis from this livestream were created for demonstration purposes only, but we encourage you to try creating your own versions of them using the tips in this video! 😄

[@mattborba1340]

How often will you do these?

[@PBOenVIDEO]

We are at Omnisphere 2.8. Soon Omnisphere 3 or just Sonic Extensions ?

[@montazownianr1]

Spectrasonics, please find a way to export favorites list, to backup ratings list.

[@thaexception3406]

And to load the same rating list from the satellite plugins.

[@igorsenayoutube]

You can backup your favourites/rated presets by going into STEAM/Omnisphere/Settings Library and copying it. I have been doing it for years now.

[@__RDDR__]

Where can i get a trial-version of the omnisphere ? I could not find that anywhere on your webpage. And before spending so much money i would of course like to test it first. Thank you :D

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

While there is no trial version for Omnisphere due to its size, reach out to a local dealer in your area to set up a live demo! Feel free to also contact us at [e-mail] with any questions and we’ll be glad to help! 😀

[@__RDDR__]

@@SpectrasonicsVIDEO I thank you very much for your support. I guess Omnisphere is worth every cent but anyway i´d like to try it before buying because it is a lot of money for me. and i can´t picture that a live demo is the same as trying some things at home with taking time for as much settings and tries as possible. But i thank you for trying to help me :D

[@TracingFlares]

cool man... y just upgraded😅😊

[@lee_the_underground_producer]

Spectrasonics gots to do a Free update to omnisphere and keyscape with some Ethnic Chinese Sounds, classical Keyboards more sounds from the d50. Possibly the JD 800 and so on. I believe I have asked this but I don't think they will do that with the classical Keyboards tho. But definitely some Asian ethnic sounds will definitely be a HUGE Plus lol. I can only imagine the dept. And no I don't want to recommend no other company because all they use is PayPal and credit cards as a permanent method. I bought majority of my vsts from guitar center.

[@jeffevansmusic]

When I search Phrases I only have a few. (Like about 5 or so) Where are the rest of them? Also With the wheel crossfades I don't have as many there such as Eric's wheel crossfades. How do you get those? Are these things that need to be downloaded etc..

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

When searching for phrases, make sure you are searching in the Soundsource browser rather than in the Patch browser: support.spectrasonics.net/manual/Omnisphere2/25/en/topic/browser-overview-page09 You should see many more of them there! 🙂 The Omnisphere library shown in this video has custom Wheel Crossfade Multis that were created for demonstration purposes and do not exist in the default factory library. Try making your own Wheel Crossfade Multis!

[@arjancornelissen7606]

Does omnisphere has a Duduk instrument in it?

[@amphitheatre]

it doesn't. i wish spectrasonics did more traditional samples but your best bet rn is to look for a kontakt library with a duduk

[@88omarz]

What mic stand is he using ?

[@PedroMiguel-if3ll]

ask him!

[@robertmurphy1299]

Hi Rob from Scotland. Can I use omnisphere on 2 different computers?

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Yup! The license is Single User / Multiple Computer, so long as you are the only one who uses it for producing music. Any questions, contact us here: [e-mail] :-)
