The update also includes expanded additions to the synthesis engine and user interface and a host of user-requested features such as the new 5-Column Browser view and support for polyphonic aftertouch.
The new version of Omnisphere also includes a significant update to the factory patch library — 780 brand new patches which take advantage of all the new sound design capabilities and brings the total number of included sounds to over 8,000.
Omnisphere 1.5 is available now from the Updates area as a free update for all registered users.
Version 1.5 also includes support for the newly available “Omni TR,” an app that turns the iPad into a touch control surface for Omnisphere.
The “TR” stands for Spectrasonics’ “Touch Remote” concept, enabling a “hands-on” interactive performance experience via iPad.
With Omni TR, users can create Omnisphere setups and sound modifications on the fly, activate sounds, tweak filters, remix, bend and spin performance variations.
