So, did anyone talk you out of it?

nope I bought it a while ago. kind of why I have been pretty inactive on the forums lately as I can't quit playing with it. I own a bunch of soft synths but this thing is on another level. I also recently picked up an ipad and the touch control for this is loads of fun......I now own all 3 of Spectrasonics offerings and they are all top notch...... I don't use trillian much anymore as you can use all it's soundsources inside spectrasonics. I also picked up the moog tribute library which has some great stuff in it. If anyone is on the fence about omnisphere just do it you won't regret it.

Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy it and make some good music with it.

The good news: I just picked up a new, unopened copy of Omnisphere on EBay for $365 (incl. shipping).

The bad news: I just had to place an order for a new DAW computer that I'll need to run it on (replacing my 9 year old P4 dual core relic). Price: $1700. Ouch!

Thanks... I don't need this... don't need it... I will not think about it.. I didn't go to the homepage and look at it. I will never go and watch the videos... I don't need it and I don't want it...

Why did you post this??

Seriously, it looks really good. I look forward to hearing what you do with it. It has an incredible list of patches and the touch app is really cool too!

Does your PC meet the minimum system requirements?

If you read my signature I think you could answer that one yourself?

I saw your system and, yes, I'm confident it would run most anything. However, I have no idea what the requirement for the software is, plus you did ask to talk you out of it. So I thought I'd ask.

You did and I thank you for that. You are truly wise my friend.

just an update....I am really digging this monster. It was pricey but I haven't regretted the purchase at all. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what's possible with this thing.......

I am thinking about picking up Omnisphere this weekend. Anyone want to try and talk me out of it?

Dont do it! Think about your future generations!

Just built a new system and actually its cruising right along. Said the install would take 45 minutes a disc with 6 discs was planning an all nighter. With my new rig the whole install took 45 minutes. I heard the same with the patches loading slow but it's almost instantaneous on my machine. So far very happy. Took a minute to figure out how to get trillian library to show up but got it figured out also. The few sounds I have been through are really cool. Enough for now time to play......

It might strain your system if your computer isn't up to par. Also the presets can take a particularly long time to load. And uhh.. the GUI is a little bland and uhh...

OK, that's all I got. Aside from that, it's pretty awesome. I was lucky enough to get my copy for free (yes, I AM bragging) but for $500 (or whatever it is), it is an absolute steal. Seeing as how you already have it in your hands, I'm assuming you'll find out for yourself real soon! :)

It's up to you what you do and I don't really have an opinion for your own brain.
I do have two questions, in the grand scheme of things:

What do you think it will do for you?
Provide me with countless hours of entertainment

Are you just looking to buy something new for the sake of 'new'?
that is definitely part of it I am kind of a gear whore

Sure. I will. The last thing you need is another soft synth. Buy a sack of good green instead and head to Venice beach with some hot chick and watch the sunset. It's a beautiful day in LA, huh?

Well, looks like we failed to talk you out of it... don't ever ask for anything again!

You didn't totally fail besides buying omnisphere I followed your advice to the letter." />

Don't look to it for organic sounds. If you're into "spacey pads, etc." and programming your own stuff you will love it. I bought into the hype and never use it on my material.

If you're into more usable, organic sounds then look to Komplete 7.

That said, Omnisphere is great sounding and fun to mess with. I have all Spectrasonics stuff and Eric P has yet to disappoint. Just set your expectations accordingly.

I have Komplete 7 already so got organic covered. I am more into designing my own sounds and love designing in trillian so I feel like omni will give me a new tool that I will already know my way around since the interface is so similar to trillian....

I just watched the demo for Omnisphere 1.5.

I'm sorry to say I cannot talk you out of it.

I'm ready to pull the trigger on it myself except I may never post in these forums again.

Some would encourage me to buy it right now.

Yeah lately I've found 6 gigs to be limiting... I've been regularly approaching my maximum RAM capacity, but only once so far have I hit the limit.
