I don't own it, but based on what I've read, I get the sense that Omnisphere
isn't meant to be the all things to all men go to axe. Omnisphere is
designed to be an atmospheric kind of thing. Remember that its precursor was
"Atmosphere." They're very proud of making an instrument out of burning a
piano. What does that tell you?

Subject: [ddots-l] Omnisphere sounds
All of you people using Omnisphere, what is your opinion of the sound
quality in terms of bread and butter sounds? All of the demos that I've
found are full of amazingly pulsing, throbbing, morphing, arpeggiating,
swirling textures and synth tambers. That sounds great for creating
atmospherics, or for scoring television action shows. However, how well does
Omnisphere serve as a general purpose go-to instrument? For example, I have
lots of plugs if I want drums, pianos, electric pianos, guitars, and synths.
However, when the odd situation comes up, and I need a sax, a ukulele, a
harpsichord, or a sitar, I need a general purpose synth to go to. I've used
various things for that over the years, but I'm now in a spot where the old
stuff like Hypersonic isn't available anymore on Win 7, and I'm trying not
to use hardware synths anymore, so can't just track in something from one of
those.
So, how do you rate it for general purpose sounds?
Bryan
