Spectrasonics has announced a significant update of Omnisphere, the virtual instrument synth powerhouse.
May 04, 2018 Omnisphere 2.5 is the first software synth to offer a Hardware Synth Integration feature, which goes way beyond MIDI-mapping to let you use your hardware synth as a hands-on controller for unlocking Omnisphere’s newly-expanded synthesis capabilities. Key Features of Omnisphere 2.5. Mar 27, 2019 Omnisphere creator Eric Persing takes some time to answer user questions about Hardware Synth Integration. The ground-breaking new feature of the award-winning synth bridges the physical.
Omnisphere 2.5 offers a Hardware Synth Integration feature, which allows well-known hardware synthesisers hands-on control of Omnisphere’s newly-expanded synthesis capabilities.
Hardware Synth Integration
The new feature bridges the physical experience gap between software and hardware, allowing users intuitive control along with the ability to quickly create and modify Omnisphere sounds by using the familiar layout of their supported hardware synth with minimal setup.
The initial release will officially support over 20 hardware synths that include Moog, Dave Smith Instruments, Roland, Korg, Behringer, Novation, and Sequential, with Spectrasonics saying there are more to come.

The free techno loops, samples and sounds listed here have been kindly uploaded by other users. If you use any of these techno loops please leave your comments. Read the loops section of the help area and our terms and conditions for more information on how you can use the loops. Free drum kits, MIDI KITS, Loop Kits & more! We are so thankful of supporters like you! We figure the best way to show that is by giving away free drum kit downloads, midi kits, preset kits and more. Garageband techno kit download.
Spectrasonics say that the new Hardware Synth Integration feature in Omnisphere v2.5 goes far beyond the typical “MIDI Learn” approaches that many software synths employ.

The Spectrasonics’ team has designed unique “Hardware Profiles” for each supported hardware synth, making the unique features of that hardware work seamlessly with Omnisphere, translating MIDI messages from the hardware into satisfying sonic results in Omnisphere.
This new system allows Spectrasonics to enable sophisticated interactions from a single touch of a knob, including the ability for Omnisphere to automatically recall entire FX racks, assign multiple scaled parameters and even instantly create complex modulation matrix routings on-the-fly.

With workflow in mind, it’s easy for musicians to use – they can use the synth of choice just by selecting the hardware synth from the drop-down HW menu.
Expanded Synthesis Capabilities
Omnisphere 2.5 dramatically expands the synthesis capabilities of Omnisphere by doubling Omnisphere’s voice architecture to Four Layers per patch. Each patch can now utilise up to 12 envelopes, 8 LFOs and the Modulation Matrix has been increased to 48 modulation routings. Newly-designed State Variable Filters are included, which were specially created for the OB-6 hardware profile and can seamlessly blend between low-pass, notch and high-pass filter modes. Over 50 new “Analog” Oscillator Wavetables are included and featured in the new hardware profiles.
New Hardware Sound Library
Omnisphere 2.5 includes a new “Hardware Library” with hundreds of new patches created by Eric Persing and the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development team using the Hardware Synth Integration feature. Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed utilizing that hardware synth as an Omnisphere controller. The new sounds feature a wide range of categories and many have a distinctly ‘classic analogue’ flavour. The new sounds are available for all users, regardless of whether they use hardware or not.
“Since the beginning of computer-based music, the biggest limitation of software synthesizers has been the lack of physical interaction. It’s hard to beat the immediacy of a physical synthesizer that you can touch! We are very excited to be able to finally eliminate that problem by utilizing the world’s finest hardware synthesizers to fully control Omnisphere.” said Eric Persing, Creative Director of Spectrasonics. “We’ve never felt that the worlds of software and hardware synths should be segregated into different ‘camps’. Our virtual instrument users can now experience the joy of the hardware synth workflow and hardware synth users can now fully expand their capabilities into the vast sonic world of Omnisphere!”
