Has anyone has any experience this? Is Omnisphere has worth the time of day or hard drive space? Can it be used well with FL Studio 8 XXL?

I'm contemplating grabbing it.

I haven't tried it in FLS8 yet, but it works fine with Sonar, Cubase, and ProTools here. However, it's a new product and has a few outstanding bugs, most notably the amount of time that it takes the GUI to open for some people. There are a million threads over on KVR if you'd like to find out more.

The synth itself is out-freaking-standing. It has very deep and diverse synthesis capabilities and comes with the huge library of samples. It operates as both a rompler and a virtual analog. One thing I will point out is that the presets are not very "trancey" - they're much more geared toward Atmosphere-ish sounds - so, plan on rolling your own, which is very easy to do with this synth. In other words, I wouldn't recommend that anyone spend $450 on Omnisphere if all they're looking for is a glorified trance rompler - Nexus is much better for that purpose. But, if you want huge synth capabilities, it's definitely worth the price, especially if that price is one of the upgrade offers. HTH.

Using it right now.

It is quite epic.

I'm probably going to buy this bad boy. 6 DVDs at 7 gigs a piece is a hefty blow to hard disk space. But worth it.

I'm about to buy a 500gb 2.5" drive for this very reason. (I hate lugging externals around with me).

It's has amazing sounds, however I only finished installing it this morning and I've been at work all day. From what I've been dinking with, it has some amazing depth.

I got it.

It's pretty deep. I'm under the school of thought that you can use any with dance music if you do it right. Some pretty unique stuff to work with. Plus, the arp integration with stylus is bad ass.

There shouldn't be any problem with using it in FL 8 :p Haven't tried it myself but I've heard some decent reviews.

OMFG.

Update. I'm using it. And holy catfish! It's amazing sounding.

There's plenty of new content, but you'll be able to use the old Atmosphere plug-ins as well. Now that Omnisphere is UB, it's faptastic.

I've been working on some ambient with it:

Wrzonance - The Day My Balls Stood Still

It's very Vangelis sounding. Using Omnisphere, Albino, and Absynth.

I've been a long time user of Atmosphere.. years and years, so I am really interested in buying the upgrade.

Soon i hope!

I definitely want to give it a shot as soon as a get a PC upgrade with a big enough hard drive to install it on.
