The Omnisphere synthesizer, the fruit of several years of development by Spectrasonics, is a completely new brand of virtual instruments. This epic synthesizer is based on completely new sound technologies, combining a wide variety of real-time hybrid synthesis methods, an epic library of psychoacoustic sounds, and many innovative features that have never been used before either in hardware or software synthesizers. Omnisphere is a Spectrasonics product based on the patented STEAM engine, which is the basis of all the performance functions of Spectrasonics tools. Instruments equipped with the STEAM multitimbral engine provide many hybrid synthesis functions and include additional control functions.
