Cinesphere I for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 brings in our new soundbanks series focused on cinematic soundtrack music and game audio.
It is a 50 polysynths soundbank with a variety of character from textural and harsh synths to dark ambient presets and weird atmospheric plucks to vintage sounding patches. Those presets are heavily inspired by one of my favorite composers Vangelis. They encompass retrofuturistic and sci-fi vibes full of nostalgic sonic dimensions.
For most of them the saturation plays a very important role to the sound making it more vintage and rusty and helping to add some spicy colors. Sometimes you may need to clear the sound from saturation or make it less obvious. A nice way besides to turn of the saturation source (that could be vary from amp to distortion fx rack or even the FM or RM of the OSC) is to add some BP, HP or LP filters at will. Most presets keep a high value frequency range of saturation / distortion and with use of the filters this could be decreased according to the project needs.
They could be used as classic polysynths in terms of performance but they could also cover some other sound types like pads or as lead synths.
MW is assigned to vibrato.
