“We’ve never felt that the worlds of software and hardware synths should be divided into different ‘camps’. 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, President of Spectrasonics.
“Since the beginning of computer-based music, the biggest limitation of software synthesizers has been the lack of physical interaction. There’s plenty more to play with in the new update too! 2.5 includes a hi-resolution interface, support for Windows Multitouch, new Granular Synthesis capabilities and over 1000 brand new sounds, knocking the total to over 14,000 sounds. The new version marks a big step for not only Spectrasonics, but for soft synths as Omnisphere 2.5 becomes the first of its kind to offer hardware synth integration, which transforms over 30 well-known hardware synthesiser into hands-on controllers.
