Spectrasonics reveals Omnisphere
Posted: 24/01/08
After such a long time of speculation as to what their next flagship product will be, at this year’s NAMM show they revealed Omnisphere (the followup to Atmosphere). Here’s a video from SonicState featuring the company’s founder Eric Persing.
Ok so my question is what else does he have in his bag of props? And what other random combination of instrument and acoustic environments do they have in there? I think it’s great to see companies trying to do something new, and I feel that the hybrid of acoustic sampling and synthesis could lead to some interesting results, especially in the hands of these guys and their “Steam” technologies. MSRP is $499 USD and it’s not expected until September 2008. That’s right, almost another year from now.
