For those of you who've already been through all 8000+ presets and are ready to dig a little deeper into Omnisphere. There's more to this synthesizer than meets the eye, hard as that may seem to believe given the impressive array of immediately apparent bells 'n whistles.
 
I've been digging into the synth for a few months now and was pretty proud of myself when I managed to make a few useful patches from scratch. But this guy's a sound designer and creator of commercial Omnisphere patch libraries, and I definitely learned some new tricks from this video.

It is indeed a very helpful tips video.  I like his motto and his small business motto as well.  I definitely would have a positive feeling about picking up one or more of his patches because he's not only providing cool patches, but he's providing info that makes the use of the tool overall more interesting. 
 
Definitely interesting viewing for anyone who has interest in Omnisphere.

I watched the first half of this yesterday and it's terrific.  The first Groove 3 series I ever watched was the Omnisphere tutorial series.  While thorough, the author didn't come anywhere close to getting me excited about this instrument than this free 90 minute whirlwind tour has done.
 
One of my main disappointments about Omnisphere is the documentation.  I dearly wish they had a detailed PDF manual that I could read off-line.  Videos are a wonderful augmentation to documentation, but they aren't sufficient by themselves.  If you forget one small point, you can't go back and just look it up.  You have to watch a bunch of video you don't need just to get to the one kernel of information you're looking for.  This is clearly a very deep instrument and needs correspondingly comprehensive documentation, IMO.

I ended up watching several of his tutorials.  Some are pitches for his patches.  Regardless, fun to watch and I learned something.  Or a lot of something.  And, I did get some extra sense of excitement as dmbaer points out.
 
I'm impressed by his experience, and by his enthusiasm and willingness to get this info out to folks.
 
Omnisphere is pretty great.

In the Utilities drop down, the Reference Guide is a pretty good summary of the components.
 

Every tool you have does more than you think. We just usually move on to the next acquisition before really learning the stuff we've already got.
 
(If you're bapu or yorolpal, that's probably for the best. You wouldn't want your head to explode!)
 
So based on this premise that every tool does more than you think, what does that say about Omnisphere, which boggles the mind from the get-go?
 

I think as a strategy to be productive it's probably really wise to pick a few great tools and learn them well and in depth.

Like instead of roaming from one DAW to another (who has that kind of money anyway?), just pick a great one and learn it cold. Like learn Sonar Producer and learn it well so you can really motor when putting your songs together.

Similarly, if wanting a synth, pick a few great ones, like Omnisphere, and learn it well.

It would probably save a fortune in small change and a fortune in wasted time by not getting distracted by the appeal of promos on lesser capable synths.

But I'm not wise, and I have been distracted. More and more as I learn it further, I kick myself when I open Omnisphere and realize afresh how great it is for getting creative.

Poverty brings focus.
 
Not that I necessarily recommend it as a strategy. But it's a positive spin on my new $650 monthly health insurance bill, starting next week. (It's "affordable", says so right on the box!)
 

Lyle Mayes and the Weather Report drummer have a couple of videos (for Spectrasonics), although they're using Trilogy as a focus too.  Lyle did some fretless bass compositions off the cuff,...with a slight pno/omni pad at times...., that made me realize how good something like these synths can sound in knowledged hands.  Lyle's music (as Pat Metheny's too) is pretty much over my head, so I am *forced* to just listen and enjoy it.  I've always wanted to be a great singer 1st...but listening to Lyle makes me desire to be that level as a musician.  However besides practicing, those guys have heads on their shoulders that can explain every note that they're doing.
 
Will have to sit and watch this new unseen vid tonight... thx for the tip!  I presume you're talking about Eric Pershing.  I've got basically all Roland stuff in my studio.

Thanks Bitflipper, I have bookmarked and will watch that when I have time to watch it properly. Just watched the first few minutes and have to say that the ......"he's actually from Denmark or some European country" comment doesn't really show him in a great light, but I always treat some Bitflipper derived info as something worth paying attention to, so I will let that slide for now. ;)
