Omnisphere rarely forces you to think of things in a different way, it tries to make it easy to do it the way you naturally would - and do it quickly.


Here, as in many other areas, I appreciated how Omnisphere offers many different ways to do similar things and caters to them equally well. If you modify the curve you can either copy and paste it to another part, or you can save it and load it at any point in the future using the pre-existing Omnisphere functionality. The curve seemed well tailored to the heavier touch of many of the Yamaha keyboards as compared to many other manufacturersswitching from the default curve on many patches a slight downward swing to a slight upward swing that made it easier to hit the higher velocity ranges. Since I used a Yamaha keyboard for this review, I loaded the Montage curve and compared it to a default linear curve as well as the other presets. The list of keyboards covered is as follows. The patch library update covers three parts: new impulses responses which are generally used to change the timbre or reverb of a sound for compatibility with Spectrasonics new product Keyscape which can be used in Omnisphere or on its owntagging improvements and velocity curve presets. In this review, we will initially focus on the new features, but for those completely new to Omnisphere, we look at the big picture after that.
