The Flagship Synthesizer for Limitless Sound Creation
Omnisphere 3 is Spectrasonics’ flagship software synthesizer—an instrument of extraordinary power, depth, and creative potential. Trusted by top artists and producers around the world, Omnisphere is the ultimate source of inspiration for music production, sound design, and performance. It brings together multiple synthesis technologies into a single, cohesive engine capable of creating everything from rich analog textures to futuristic digital soundscapes.
A Massive New Sound Library
Omnisphere 3 introduces an enormous new factory library featuring 18 stunning sound collections and thousands of brand-new, handcrafted patches from Spectrasonics’ award-winning sound design team. Every sound is meticulously designed to inspire creativity, covering every genre—from cinematic and ambient to EDM, pop, and experimental sound design.
All classic Omnisphere sounds have been fully remastered to take advantage of the new version’s features, effects, and synthesis enhancements. Despite the expanded sound set, Spectrasonics’ new lossless optimization technology ensures that Omnisphere 3 requires no additional hard-drive space compared to version 2.
Adaptive Global Controls
A brand-new Adaptive Global Control system makes it easier than ever to shape sounds in a musical way. With instant access to essential tone-shaping parameters—Tone, Ambience, Filter, Envelope, Vibrato, and Unison—you can quickly adapt any sound to fit your mix or performance. These smart controls automatically analyze the patch, ensuring smooth, musical results every time.
Patch Mutation Engine
With a single click, Omnisphere 3’s Patch Mutation feature generates entirely new variations of any sound—from subtle timbral changes to radical transformations. Each mutation is automatically saved, allowing you to revisit or refine your favorite variations later. It’s an endlessly inspiring way to explore new creative directions.
Advanced Synthesis Power
Omnisphere’s powerful synthesis engine continues to expand with new tools for serious sound designers. Version 3 introduces a suite of cutting-edge synthesis and modulation features including:
-
Quadzone Modulation: unlocks complex layers of evolving movement and dynamic timbre control.
-
36 New Filter Types: including seven distinct tonal families with circuit-modeled analog warmth.
-
Circuit-Modeled Saturation: adds rich harmonic coloration for authentic analog character.
-
Dual Frequency Shifter: the world’s first fully polyphonic, keyboard-tracking frequency shifter.
-
Vintage Oscillator Drift: reproduces the subtle instability and warmth of classic analog oscillators.
-
Over 100 New EDM Wavetables: ideal for contemporary production and futuristic sound design.
-
Unison Phase Scatter and Analog Spread: for lush stereo width and natural analog imperfections.
-
Classic Glide Modes: featuring authentic OB-X, Moog, Odyssey, and CS-80-style portamento curves.

Full MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) Support: enabling expressive control with modern controllers like the ROLI Seaboard or LinnStrument.
Unique Soundsources
Omnisphere’s sound library isn’t limited to synth waveforms—it also includes an inspiring range of deeply sampled organic soundsources, from Blown Ostrich Egg and Tonal Sand to Nyckelharpa, Lyre Harp, Celestaphone, Sul Tasto Cello, Magic Wand Metallophones, Percussive Snow, and many more. These rare textures give Omnisphere a distinctive character unmatched by other synthesizers.
Expanded Hardware Integration
Omnisphere bridges the gap between software and hardware. Its exclusive Hardware Integration feature allows seamless hands-on control using over 300 supported synthesizers and MIDI controllers from major manufacturers such as Roland, Korg, Moog, Sequential, and Novation. Each profile maps hardware knobs and sliders directly to Omnisphere’s parameters, giving a true hardware-synth experience inside your DAW.
Enhanced Effects and Workflow
Omnisphere 3 includes over 35 new studio-grade effects, all designed to enhance sound design and mixing flexibility. From lush reverbs and dynamic compressors to granular distortion and creative modulation effects, you’ll find everything needed to polish your sounds or push them into experimental territory.
