OMNISPHERE 1 IN SIERRA PLUS

That being said, you can do pretty much everything you can do with Serum on Omnisphere, since it also has wavetable editor capabilities.

OMNISPHERE 1 IN SIERRA PLUS

The 144 wavetables you get plus formulae and additive engine, are more than enough to last you an entire lifetime of sound design.Īdditionally, you can create your own wavetables from any audio, or even PNG image. Serum and Omnisphere are quite different, and the power of Serum comes not from it’s library, but wavetable synthesis design. The versatility, with little to no CPU load, and the incredibly low price, Serum is the best value for money synth on the market. In fact we love Serum so much, it’s actually our favorite synth for beginner and intermediate sound designers. Though, admittedly, Serum doesn’t really touch Omnisphere in terms of depth and quality, but for the price, it’s one of the best wavetable synthetizers around. Serum also has an awesome library of presets and wavetables, with over 450 presets and 144 different wavetables. Especially with their well-known hardware synthesizers emulation ( Minimoog, Jupiter 8 etc.), which are sampled so well you can’t tell the difference between Omnisphere and the real thing.Īdditionally, Omnisphere can also serve as a hub for your other Spectrasonics products, such as Keyscape, meaning you can use the sounds and patches from Keyscape or Trilian, inside Omnisphere to create truly, organic, real sounding patches. The sound library isn’t all about quantity either, Spectrasonics are well known for their incredible sound quality. The factory library of Omnisphere is absolutely gigantic, and it would take years to go through everything. In particular, over 9000 Patches and presets, over 5000 sound sources, and 144 Multis. The new Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.8 library comes with almost 15,000 total sounds for music production. Omnisphere offers one of the most comprehensive sound libraries you can get. Read on so you can make an informed decision when buying your dream synthesizer. Some of you may never need the power of Omnisphere and it would be a waste of money. It depends on who you are as a producer, and what your needs are. Like we said above though, it’s not all that simple. However, when it comes down to a competition between the two Omnisphere will win every single time. There are some things I personally wouldn’t use Omnisphere for, and prefer Serum because it’s quicker, and still produces a great sound.

I would recommend you get both, because they both have different uses. However, Serum much cheaper, lighter on the CPU, and incredibly versatile – offering plans as low as $9.99/month rent to own. You get granular capability, sampling, a huge custom library of samples, & more for $499. It can do everything Serum can, but better. Omnisphere is better for complex sound design.
