i haven't used any of their stuff, so not really sure. i can ask my friends,
but Kevin just said that they're not as accessible as he thought.

EastWest's symphonic orchestra has good strings and violins...but honestly, i
have friends who use stuff by vienna for strings, and I've not heard anything
that comes close to those. They sound absolutely awesome. I think Kevin has
talked about using vienna products in past posts on here. so maybe he'll chime
in.

it's a general synth with sounds from different genres of music. It's got
rock and acoustic guitars, some pianos, strings, woodwinds, brasses, basses,
synths, etc.

Bryan,
I personally wouldn't recommend either atmosphere or omnisphere for
great, natural-sounding, woodwind, string, brass, or other natural instruments.
I would label them as average at best. Just my opinion, though. A better synth
for that kind of stuff is EastWest's colossis. The only drawback to that is
that you need sighted help to copy and paste the presets into sonar. Otherwise,
it isn't accessible.

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
