Spectrasonics Announces Omnisphere 2 Synth

After years of Spectrasonics supporting their catch-all synthesizer, Omnisphere, the company just officially introduced Omnisphere 2 during NAMM 2015 in Anaheim, CA.

When Omnisphere was originally released, it provided sound designers and musicians with tools to discover a variety of sounds like no other synth before it. Spectrasonics is continuing their trend with Omnisphere 2 with a goal to seemingly spend a lifetime browsing its full capabilities. There are over 1000 updates for the synth, and now features over 10,000 presets. New features like Audio Import, Sound Lock, and a whole slew of additional effects can only expand the library.

Omnisphere 2 from Specrasonics is here and it is massive.
