After installation, the user wants to know four things right away:ġ. I wish more companies would look at how Spectrasonics uses challenge/response for copy protection. Registration with the challenge/response mechanism was very easy, and I might say, a pleasant change from having to deal with USB keys for copy protection.
SPECTRASONICS TRILIAN REVIEW FUTUREMUSIC HOW TO
This rarely happens with music technology applications, so Spectrasonics is to be applauded for this.įor the Mac, there’s an installation guide for the Mac itself, a separate tutorial for installing to an external drive (very good thinking!), and finally, how to install on the PC. To my pleasant surprise, the contents of the installation manual actually mirrored what I saw onscreen.

The installation process is a textbook model for the industry. I’m restating what I said in a private letter to Spectrasonics. With one exception which I’ll discuss briefly, from beginning to end, this entire project has been thought out with exceptional quality care and design that completely takes into account the user experience including installation, which is the one thing I complain about in most every review. You can also create new tag categories to customize how you hear sounds. Type a tag name into the search engine, and it brings up all the programs attached to that tag. Keeping it simple, the organization of the browser works much like a blog in that for each sound there are tags (like you see posted here on Film Music Magazine). All of the sounds can be found under three different browsers. The organization of Omnisphere I have to classify as being ingenious. That said, if you’re a composer who’s never tweaked a sound, or if you’re a composer who’s never had any desire to tweak a sound, or if you’re a composer that only wants to do the most basic tweaking (like me), you’ll really appreciate Omnisphere because of the quick way you can do simple things to create big results. Rather than taking up space to list what you can read for yourself, just click here to read Spectrasonics’ list of product features especially the number of programming features and controls. For those who enjoy or have a passion for programming sounds, or doing sound design, Omnisphere is a virtual dream come true given the number of features available to let you customize or design from scratch. Omnisphere comes with literally thousands of new sounds and features that you’ll find to be useful and practical for just about any musical style you’re producing. Given the present state of the economy worldwide, if you could only add one or two programs to your musical production arsenal before year’s end, Omnisphere would have to be at the top of the list with Symphobia from Project SAM a close second.
