Spectrasonics Omnisphere: Drool
Since my wife bought me a MacBook for my birthday (hey, I’m not complaining) instead of Spectrasonics Atmosphere, I went surfing to the Spectrasonics website to see if they were offering any deals on said “Dream Synth.” When I get to the website, I see that they’re working on this really cool successor to Atmosphere: Omnisphere. Can you hear my drool dripping onto the floor? Man, these timbres even sound great in the videos using cheap headphones! I can only imagine hearing them in my project studio.
Speaking of videos, the current episode (5) on the website announces a contest, providing loops from the forthcoming virtual instrument. “Way cool,” I thought; then I learned that you have to be a registered Spectrasonics user to participate in the contest. So, do I buy Atmosphere so that I can compete in the contest, hoping to win a license for Ominshpere that will make said Atmosphere purchase obsolete? Hmmm.
