- Full hardware integration and MPE support for maximum expressivity in studio and on stage.
What Omnisphere 3 Is For
Omnisphere 3 is a versatile virtual instrument for composition, production, and sound design. Whether for electronic music, cinematic scores, pop, ambient, or video games, it offers evolving textures, expressive leads, powerful basses, and complex atmospheres. Creators can start from inspiring presets or sculpt new sounds thanks to a rich synthesis architecture and an internal effects rack.
Main Features
Advanced Synthesis Engines
Quadzone modulation, over 600 morphing wavetable tables, 36 updated filters, a polyphonic double shifter, and modeled analog saturation open up a vast creative field. Granular, Harmonia, and Unison can now be combined simultaneously for deeply rich timbres.
Adaptive Controls and Creative Mutation
Adaptive Global Controls automatically adjust essential parameters (timbre, ambience, filter, vibrato, unison, etc.) according to the patch. The Patch Mutation function generates and saves variants to accelerate sound exploration without breaking the creative flow.
Expressive Playing and Hardware Integration
Full support for MPE and MIDI Poly Aftertouch brings modern expressivity. Hardware integration covers over 300 synthesizer and keyboard profiles (Roland, Korg, Moog, Sequential, Arturia, Novation, Nord, Behringer, etc.) for natural control from your physical setup.
Next-Generation Effects and Workflow
35 new high-end effects-including "Velvet Verb," "Refraction Delay," "Barberpole Phaser," and "Optical Leveling Amp"-add to an already complete arsenal. The Omnisphere FX Rack plug-in allows you to use these effects directly within your DAW. The redesigned browser, with subcategories, simplified tags, library images, and "Hide" mode, streamlines sound searching and management while remaining fully backward compatible.
