New Hardware Sound Library

Omnisphere 2.8 includes a stunning new “Hardware Library” with over 1,600 new patches created by Eric Persing and the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development team. Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere 2.8 controller. These inspiring new sounds feature a wide range of categories and many have a distinctly ‘classic’ flavor! Notably, the 2.6 update takes Eric’s classic sound design work from the original 1987 Roland D-50 into completely new sonic territory with Omnisphere’s vast synthesis capabilities. Best of all, the new sounds are available for ALL users, regardless of using the hardware or not!

Omnisphere Software version 2.8.5c

• Adds “Any” MIDI channel routing option to the MIDI Channel menus on the MIXER page. When “Any” is selected, MIDI Channels 1-16 are sent to the Part (aka MIDI “Omni Mode”).
• Fixes issue where the plugin output could become muted after loading multiple DAW projects in a row. This fix was added specifically for Cantabile (a Windows-only Host), but the error is likely reproducible in other Hosts.
• Fixes note playback timing issues when Solo mode or the Arpeggiator were enabled and the host buffer size was large.
• Fixes issue where the “Modulate with Orb” option in the right-click contextual menu did not work.
• Fixes issue where the Patch dirty indicator (asterisk) could incorrectly disappear after using the UNDO command.
• Seismic Pump effect: Improves TRIGGER button behavior when MODE = “Triv. Inv” and LOOP is Off.
• Seismic Pump effect: Fixes issue with “Triv. Inv” mode where the envelopes were retriggered by incoming MIDI note events.
• Mac only: Fixes issue on macOS where folders/files in STEAM could not contain a backslash character
• Standalone app: Fixes issue where the Flow Capture feature did not record Metronome Tempo changes into the MIDI file correctly.
