Do you own Omnisphere? Yes, right? And you haven’t downloaded the free 1.5 update? What are you waiting for?! Spectrasonics founder Eric Persing gets it right in the video that can be found on the company site (www.spectrasonics.net)- most users will focus on the new “Orb” page. The Orb introduces random variations to the presets and sounds you create, imparting movement and coloration that you can capture.

Omnisphere 1.5 includes a ton of new sounds, and iPad users- particular those who use Omnisphere in live performance- will be sure to take advantage of the new ‘Touch Remote” concept that 1.5 features. TR turns your iPad into a full bown Orb control surface.

Atmosphere was cool, the initial Omnisphere release was a major advancement, and Spectrasonics seems determined to keep pushing the bar forward.
