Omnisphere is like buying a synthesizer construction kit.  It isn't so much that it is complicatedd to program, which I don't think it is.  It's more you have such a wide variety of similar sound sources so the old version 1.0 only gave you 5 types of oscillators.  I would just stick with those and get cobalt vst freeware and then try to recreate the sound on that in Omnisphere.  Because Cobalt VST only has 26 waveforms and they are really diverse.  Omni has so many and it is hard for you to think through what you want until you get clear with enough attributes.  But that is how I am learning what Omnisphere does.  It most of the time only has 2 layers an A and a B so its not that hard to understand its more you have so many sound sources.  I am only playing around with the synth side of it now and it makes many kinds of sounds.  It also has many filters and I would just use a 12 or a 24 one.  But in terms of the architecture I don't think it is really that complicated.  Not like UVI Falcon or Wusik 8000 or Wusik station or Arturia which is a history lesson in synths.

I am trying to develop Humanistic Hymns that reflect University knowledge and conversations pertaining to science into music.  It's hard to sing the vocabulary, Science and math use so many non one syllable words.  Is anyone else out there trying to do this?  It doesn't seem to be reflecting itself in "the voice" which has too much religious stuff for my taste.   Please open your minds to a wider spread of knowledge.   Just curious what others think.

I don't think you can include synthesizers and all-in-one sound libraries in the same sentence.  That is what samplers are for. 
 
I like synthesizers and have quite a few of them, but they are not the same!

I'm not sure, but here is a good example of science and music:

Humorously enough, that's a distinction I totally forgot to make before making this post

Falcon looks nice, but think I'll wait to see what KV331 does with the wavetable editor in SynthMaster 3

Thanks I was looking at the difference between UVI Vintage vault vs buying Arturia Collection V which sounds better it seems like UVI gets high marks for their Samples and many people complain about Arturia.  Are there really that many differences between the two.

This is the difference:
 
UVI - "No emulations here—all UVI vintage series instruments start with the real thing. Extensive sampling of the highest quality combined with the award-winning UVI Engine XT™ give you all the character and soul of real hardware instruments with the ease, efficiency and control provided by modern software."
 
Arturia - "V Collection 5 is your one-stop dream collection of the legendary keyboards behind many of the hits ranging from 60 years ago to 6 minutes ago. Our award-winning modeling technology faithfully reproduces the way the original components behaved, delivering the very soul of these instruments in a way that samples simply can’t."
