Description
Omnisphere 3 by Spectrasonics is the latest evolution of the award-winning flagship software synthesizer, delivering an unparalleled sonic experience for producers, composers and sound designers. This powerful upgrade introduces thousands of fresh new sounds, advanced synthesis capabilities, and next-generation effects, all while maintaining the same compact library size. Whether you’re crafting cinematic scores, electronic music, or experimental soundscapes, Omnisphere 3 offers limitless creative possibilities with intuitive controls and deep hardware integration.
At the heart of Omnisphere 3 is an enormous new factory collection featuring 18 meticulously crafted libraries filled with thousands of inspiring sounds. From rare acoustic instruments like the Nyckelharpa and Celestaphone to innovative textures such as Percussive Snow and Piano Harmonics, every patch has been remastered and enhanced with new effects and synthesis features. The redesigned browser and curated libraries make it effortless to find the perfect sound quickly, streamlining your workflow and sparking fresh ideas.
Omnisphere 3 also introduces Adaptive Global Controls that intelligently analyse each patch and allow instant customisation of tone, ambience, filter, envelope, vibrato and unison settings. Combined with new Patch Mutations and powerful Quadzone modulation, the synthesizer encourages exploration and sonic experimentation. The upgraded filter section boasts 36 new filter types and circuit-modelled saturation, while oscillators offer over 600 morphing wavetables and authentic oscillator drift for rich analogue character.
Hardware integration has been vastly expanded, with over 300 new MIDI controller profiles supporting a wide range of popular keyboards and synthesizers from leading manufacturers. This ensures seamless control and an immersive playing experience, enhanced further by full MPE support and intelligent polyphonic modulation. The major effects upgrade includes 35 new “next-gen” effects such as Super Verb, Magnetic Echo and Analog Studio Tape, plus the included Omnisphere FX Rack plugin lets you use these effects directly in your DAW.
