Just wondering if anyone has omnishere? I have read about how good it is but also read that it takes a powerful machine to run it and some people said that their machine runs slow and they have to bounce things down seperatly for it to work efficiently. Is this true?
I've got a 2.4GHz, dual intel processor, 4gb MAC. Do you think it would cope with no probelms?

Thanks for any comments.

Yes, yes, and probably.


I'm running it on a Q6600 2.4GHz Quad PC and 4GB RAM. Handles it fine, but yeah, Omni's a hog.

Does it take up a sod load of disk space?

I recently bought Omnisphere.

Heres my thoughts.

For a start its a great synth, well worth the money.

CPU wise, its quite intensive, its also quite intensive on RAM.

I have a Core2Duo 6400, i think its just over 2Ghz, and i can get about 5 parts going before the cpu maxes out.

Being dual core, i can load another instance of it, and can get 2X 4-parts at once.

Ram wise i run into problems.

It used approx 270Mb per instance before i load a patch (which can be about 50mb)

As i am using 32bit windows XP, i can only get max 2gb per program which is a real pain as the program will then crash.

I would still recomemnd it,as it beats any VST i have heard hands down.

It also has sampled waveforms from loads of hardware synths which is awesome.

if you're after weirdness, I see only two options, omnisphere and alchemy. Both feed off each other on that point. I like the interface of Omni a little more though, while I'm totally fond of the possibilities in CA's Alchemy. They're no must-have synths though. They're just the icing on the cake. If only they could feature a lot more of those classic Roland sounds (THAT ERIC PERSING HIMSELF DESIGNED!!). And those from Korg and Yamaha, and Kurzweil.

This is what I'm missing in those whopping multiterabytic libraries, the 64mbyte ROMS from the 90's Synths FOR GODS SAKE!
