I'm gonna check the new sounds and report back. I hope there are a lot trance powerful leads, fat basses..  | Cool!
You won't be disappointed! :-)

I maybe reaching, but will we be able to replace Trilogy patches with Trilian patches, including settings that are saved within a project?

Oh. My. God. You guys weren't kidding when you added the 'Dance' category to the presets!
There are some ****ing ridiculous leads and synths in there.....fantastic work. I really think that you guys are finally proving that this instrument is NOT only for spacey textures and film score moods. Omnisphere is a SYNTH through and through!

The answer, according to your website (which I directly quoted from) was only those that have bought Trilogy in 2009, i.e. those that bought it before this year have to pay the $99.00 upgrade fee. So either your website is wrong or I was right.
As for the second question, I think I may have misinterpreted this to mean that only those with an Intel Mac are entitled to the free upgrade, in which case (again, if your website is correct) the answer is 'no' and I was still correct.
Sorry to be a pedant (and sorry for probably misinterpreting the second question) but if one doesn't clearly state what one means, it can lead to miscommunication and unnecessary accusations.  | |

Sounds like you didn't spend enough time with it yet.
Make sure you get the latest updates and watch the tutorial videos.
How someone can get "easily bored" with nearly 7,000 sounds is a little beyond me. :-)
I'd encourage you to keep to going with it...there's obviously a ton that you haven't explored yet! :-)
Cheers,
spectrum

Everyone purchasing Trilogy in 2009 qualifies for the special free upgrade to Trilian.
All Intel Mac Trilogy users also qualify for the special free upgrade to Trilian.

For me, anyways, when I drop ~$500 on new sounds or gear, I ALWAYS find a way to make it work for me. Even when disappointed by new gear or sounds, I still rock it hard till I get my moneys worth... which usually turns into liking or loving it, or at very least, feeling some sort of dependancy.
It's like people who still buy CDs.. they try to get their moneys worth out of it, and end up understanding what the album is all about.. where as people sharing mp3s tend to "skim" through things, and never really understand the bigger picture.

Trilogy (and probably Omnisphere, but I haven't used it yet) is a great programme and Trilian looks the nuts too. Personally, I'm looking forward to its release. | |

+1 for the great free updates and can't wait to add Trillian to my collection. The Stylus RMX update looks fantastic too.
After a few months with Omnisphere I'll say that it is more than I thought it would be. Very versatile. I like what Spectrasonics is doing and how it goes about it's business.

| Understand synthesis and create your own patches
The quality of the synth is what's important such as oscillators, filters and what can be modulated. It's not the patch. Presets just give you an general ideal for what the synth can do. It is not for anyone to totally rely on presets for his genre of music. The quality of the synth is there. Therefore, please create the right patch for your own composition. Presets are personal and it can be a love or hate thing.
From Hiphop tracks today, I hear trance gates working in the mix and supersaw waves programed from synths. A lot of this is what's normally heard from trance and techno. Producers now days are very talented and the quality from Omnisphere is going to make their tracks different in a good way.

LOVE the update!!!! Is there a way to "flag" patches as you go through? Or add them to a "favorites" list? There are so many sounds that I like while scrolling through them, that now, I can't remember what they were called.. It sucks trying to go through 6000 sounds to find that one. LOL Anyone know if there is a way? I guess I could write them down... Might be a nice feature to have in the next patch?
Keep up the great work Eric!

simply create a fav folder in your user folder of Omnisphere and save every patch that you like into it or add a keyword like fav to those patches and type that into the searchfield in the Omnibrowser.

First of all, for the most part, hip hop is sample-based. This means that a lot of your favorite songs include parts that are sampled from other older songs.
Second of all, most people will tell you there is no such thing as a hiphop VST. Sonnivox makes a few that will have some sounds you might be interested in.
Native instruments also makes a few that are tailored to the urban scene.
Askin this kind of question shows you're young in the game. Keep grinding and find sounds to suit the song you are making. You have to listen and hear more than anything. Don't just throw sounds together that don't mesh.

ive listened to a lot of sample based hip hop but im really new to all the synth stuff. ive had logic for about 6 months now and i started out making simple beats with samples but i really wanna move more towards that synth sound and also step my drum game up.
when i think of rnb i feel like a lot of the songs have similar synth sounds, like that detuned saw wave bass comes to mind. so i was wondering if there was a vst that didnt have a million of those weird filtered space banjo presets.i guess part of it is also knowing how to mix, like if i find a decent synth sound i really dont know what to do to make it sound wider, fuller or more energetic.

I will never judge a synth from presets.
I have been programming synth since the 90's and programming starts from powerful isolators. If the isolators are weak and they aliasing a lot, then the synth sucks. However, modulation is secondary. One thing about electronic music is that everyone must learn how to tweak the patches a little bit.
Spectrasonics makes some very great products. I never knew that people discredit a synth because of presets.  | |

What is "good" for hip hop....
Dudes were making beats from $.25 dusty records in the clearance bin.....stuff that sold 100 copies total since the 60's...
That's the problem with hip-hop today.... people are trying to put it in a "box"....

Yeah, it sucks, people need to start making more music that we can sample. If they can kind of leave the drums out and the vocals, it would be appreciated
J/k man, lol.

1. Omnisphere is marketed pretty strongly as a film/tv scoring type synth.
2. despite #1, I am hip hop producer and use omni quiet regularly over all my other available synths (including massive, absynth 4, that god dang reaktor, fm8, and thor in reason)
3. Omnispheres real strength comes with its surprising ease to make synths
4. Irony is the fact that the exact opposite of omnisphere is nexus, a big collection of nothing but "hip hop" sounds (aka a billion saws set on different various settings) and it gets thrashed for being so limited.
Disclaimer: i am not being paid by omnisphere in anyway shape or form (god i wish i was lol)
