Anyone tried this yet? If anyone installed and try this please leave feedback for others. NOTE: This issue only affects Omnisphere 1, it has been resolved in Omnisphere 2. With the large number of third-party Omnisphere patch libraries avaiable, it's important to be aware that there are some limitations to how Omnisphere can function with them. Feb 15, 2013 Originally the thread was called '3rd Party Omnisphere Libraries'. Update March 7 2013 - warning to readers of this thread! Over the course of the discussion, it came to light that 3rd party libraries use different methods of installing their products. Some of these were approved by Spectrasonics, and some weren't.
- Dec 31, 2019 Does the sound preview feature work with User presets? The latest 2.1 release of any of my NKS presets include preview files for all presets. If you find any sounds that do not have a preset file or the preset sound is silent, corrupt or doesn't sound right please let me know and I will fix this.
- NKS libraries for Omnisphere 3rd Party Expansions. Each library adds a NKS bank to the Omnisphere NKS library browser and comes with sound previews for each preset.YOu must have the original library from the vendor installed for these NKS libraries to work Compatibility Komplete Kontrol Software v2.
- A simple goal - to have a complete reference for currently available 3rd party patch collections for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2. Some of these collections will work for Omnisphere 1. Please comment in the Facebook box at the end of the page with other libraries not on this list.

So you want to buy Omnisphere, one of the all-time greatest? If there was a plugin hall of fame, it would definitely be in it.
After installing it, producers can be quite overwhelmed by the synth. But is the synth by Spectrasonic really worth the money?
We will figure it out in this reviews, while I break down the different sections of it.
Without the need of watching plenty of tutorials.
And that’s is exactly what I’m going to do in this article.

How to use Omnisphere?
The Header
Right at the top you can find the header section.
Here you can simply access the Multi Browser by one click.
Further, you can easily change between each stack (1-8).
May 28, 2019 The way TeamViewer VPN works. TeamViewer VPN is an one-to-one connection between two computers. TeamViewer will use a TeamViewer connection (handled as remote connection) to establish a VPN with IP-addresses which are addicted to the involved TeamViewer IDs. The VPN service is not like your standard VPN, for example Private Internet Access (PIA). Teamviewer vpn windows 10. I just found the TeamViewer VPN, which is exactly what I need. I have a website which I would like to connect through TeamViewer, but more importantly I would like to access our nexus repository from my Mac through my Windows machine. TeamViewer Host. TeamViewer Host is used for 24/7 access to remote computers, which makes it an ideal solution for uses such as remote monitoring, server maintenance, or connecting to a PC or Mac in the office or at home. Install TeamViewer Host on an unlimited number of computers and devices. As a licensed user, you have access to them all!
Additonally, you can find the Multi section and the System section. However, we will ignore them, since covering them will get quite deep into the possibile capabilities of the synth.
The Patch browser
Above all, Omnisphere is all about its presets. Therefore, changing between them was made super easy. You can find them by choosing certain attributes that are assigned to each preset. Alternatively, you can locate them via the option „Sound Match“. The later will show you all presets that sounds similiar to the current preset.
In order to find presets via their attributes you can choose them via a sorted structure devided into category, type, genre and author.
The lower section than shows you all the presets that are assigned to these devisions. Simply double click them to use them.
Pretty cool right?
The Main Page
This is were the magic happens.
Well not completely, but this will be the section in which you can do quite easy and fast adjustments.
Firsly, when selecting the „Notes“ option at the top you are provided with the presets name, it’s patch, as well as a short description of the sound.
The „Layers“ option let’s you turn on and off the different layers (A, B, C, D) that add up to the final patch.
Here you can also change them to come up with your own variations.
Secondly, to the left you will find adjustment options for the voices, octave, scale, clock speed, signal path, trigger mode, gain and part level.
Thirdly, to the right you are able to change the velocity, solo, glide, bend, sustain and expression settings.
Additionally, at the botom located are the options for applying and master filter. The cutoff and resonance controllers are easy to use. The switch betwen a low pass and high pass filter is done by two simple buttons.
The Layer (ABCD) Page
Each portion of a layer (A, B, C, D) can further adjusted within these sections.
Here you can apply modulation, adjust the oscillator, apply a filter and adjust the sound envelope.
The FX page
Within the FX page the user is apply up to four effects for each preset portion. It also offers an „AUX“ and „Common“ section to further apply effects.
ARP Page
The futuristic ARP page gives you full control of an integrated arpeggiator.
Final Plugin-Reviews.com Rating
Certainly, the power of this synth seems to be endless and the amount of presets and banks is nearly overwhelming.
Therefore, I need to give Omnisphere 5/5.
In conclusion, I would definitely buy it again if I had to.
Pro Tip: Combining the plugin with either Effectrix, Glitch2 or RC-20 Retro Color will lead to even more possibilites of creating great sounds.
I would love to hear your opinion and what you think about the plugin.
