    cool.
    very tempted to get it...

    Still installing ;)

    If you have other Spectrasonics products it gets very, very cheap... it cost me about 79 euro in the end coz the dollar got really weak ;)

    kk, went in with no problem... long old install ;)

    It looks really simple from outside, the GUI is very odd once you start going deeper so i'm off into the manual shortly...

    Soundwise... umm.... useful :)

    The quality shines right out, lots of usable sounds for nice intros/movies and stuff for ambient is stuffed in here... most the sounds are very unique - very different from your usual suspects out there.

    A friend used the word 'organic' and he's spot on - some of the sounds have had a lot of attention put into them - it really does scream ambient/film...

    Took a fair while to sift through all the presets and most were ok, some very quirky things in there - they seem to have a sense of humour ;)

    Low CPU!

    Will post again once i've trawled through manual / videos.

    :)

    great.
    i watched a few demo videos, i think from a namm show or somewhere. I did think film score.

    what's the burning piano sound like?

    Exellent, I have Atmosphere so have been wondering about an upgrade, but I have to say 45-50Gbs is madness! I'll have to start rearranging my hard drive contents.

    Sh-i-t, I've just checked the specs, 3 Ghz machine?????????????

    3 gig single core probably... - what machine do you have?

    There's tonnes of film score stuff - but many more upfront sounds... took me a while to find manual so will have to start reading it tommorow ;)

    Tis a bog standard Dell 1.6 Ghz which will run multiples of Atmopshere but not a single Omnisphere. Oh well.

    Well, it's pretty nifty...

    I've been going into the complex side (As the main interface is very simple) - and i've founds some awesome features... There's a massive amount of high quality wavetable type samples from any decent gear from the 70's and bang upto date... all sounds so pristine using this new audio engine... words can hardly describe the clarity ;)

    I though initially it was mainly dreamy film and ambient sounds, but now it's really opening up... not only is this thing filling a gap for organic usable intresting sounds but now doing stock work like basses, leads etc... in its' own excessive way...

    The filter section allows you to multiply sounds in true separate osc instead of just 'detunes' - eats the CPU, but hey, that's the price you pay!

    This isn't just another synth module, it really does something different - if you own the stylus RMX you'll know what i mean about 'different = useful' - they've added bags of new useful things... almost as if they actually spoke to users of it and bowed to their every whim/dream/demand...

    The wavetable samples are too many to list... but take every synth that sounds nice and multisample it to death etc... this is just 1 half of the beast!

    More to come... maybe... if i escape ;)

    P.S. If you don't have RMX Stylus, then YOUR'E MAD - it's still a center peice of FUN. ;)
