Exciting news from Spectrasonics! Sonic Extensions are an entirely new experience for Spectrasonics flagship synth Omnisphere. Each Sonic Extension features Ultra High Quality custom FX designed by Spectrasonics, custom controls to interact creatively with Omnisphere in totally NEW ways, and stunning new soundsources, deeply multisampled, with State-of-the-Art features.
Each Sonic Extension title focuses on a specific aesthetic with Next Level Sounds, purpose-built Custom Controls, and two exclusive new Effects – which can be used on anything inside Omnisphere. Not only does each one have a vast array of stunning new sounds, but also brand new ways of interacting with them, like their unique interface of Custom Controls. They also have an amazing new feature called Scenes, which gives you inspiring sonic variations within one patch.
There are four Sonic Extensions to choose from (see below for details), each of which is now available to purchase directly from Spectrasonics' webstore.
IMPORTANT: Omnisphere 2.8 or higher must be installed and authorized in your Spectrasonics user account in order to purchase and use Sonic Extensions. If you don’t have Omnisphere yet, Spectrasonics highly recommends buying the physical boxed version – which includes a fast USB drive for quick installations.
