Omnisphere is the flagship synth from Spectrasonics – the go-to plugin that many top producers and sound designers find their sonic inspiration. It’s not just a synth: it’s a sound design playground, combining every kind of synthesis you can think of, and it’s just been fully upgraded.

What’s new

  • New sound libraries: Who doesn’t like new sounds – this comes with 18 box fresh sound libraries, filled to the brim with carefully curated high-quality sounds and patches.
  • Lossless optimisation: Despite Omnisphere 3 growing in scope and size, due to clever lossless storage optimisation, the overall library size hasn’t grown beyond Omnisphere 2’s footprint, meaning you don’t need to upgrade your storage to accommodate Omnisphere 3.
  • Adaptive Global Controls: Customising a patch has never been easier with the addition of 6 new adaptive smart controls: Tone, Ambience, Filter, Envelope, Vibrato & Unison. They adapt to each patch, making fast musical tweaks every time.
  • Patch Mutations: Looking for a fresh twist? Mutate any patch (from subtle to wild) with a single click. Every variation is saved, so you don’t lose your favourite versions.

More sound tools

Omnisphere 3 turns up dial on the sound design knob with features like:

  • Quadzone modulation: supercharge your modulation and timbral movement with Quadzone synthesis.
  • 36 new filter types: Seven distinct sonic colours from vintage to wild.
  • Major FX upgrade:
  • Circuit-modeled saturation: Authentic analog warmth, digitally modeled.
  • Dual frequency shifter: The world’s first polyphonic dual frequency shifter which can fully track the keyboard.
  • Oscillator drift: Get that vintage instability without losing control.
  • MPE: Full MPE support for polyphonic expression.
