Omnisphere also has its own suite of internal effects (and AUX routing per patch, as well as the entire multi as mentioned earlier). You have multiple LFOs and Envelopes, and there is an Envelope designer similar to Serum's LFO interface or Massive's Performers (I think Serum's UI is better, but the functionality is there). A soundsource can be either a soundcore/sample from the Omni library or VA synthesis with a wide variety of waveforms taken from all sorts of analog synthesizers. It has an internal mixer with AUX effects routing.Įach singular patch (of which you can have up to 8 per multi) can have two soundsources each with its own envelopes/filters/etc. You can set up multi patches within Omnisphere itself, and also map different patches to different keyboard zones. Omnisphere 2 is also a synthesizer in addition to being a rompler. If you're willing to put the effort into utilizing Omnisphere to it's fullest, it goes so much further. The only advantage of Nexus is that it probably requires less effort and is directed more towards EDM artists looking for quick sounds. It has preset sounds that fit any genre and soundcores that can be made to fit any genre. It's worth so much more than what you actually pay for it. It is so far beyond Nexus in every single way imaginable. Omnisphere 2 is the greatest software instrument available, in my opinion. No, but you can get it during a guitar center sale for 15% or 20% off (though you have to pay shipping).
