Hello, I was wondering can I drop midi files into my DAW (Reaper) and have Omnisphere play it back. I have a keyboard but want the keys to match with my guitar. For example, I play in B standard on a 7 string. I want to be able to tab it out in Guitar Pro then import it to Omnisphere. Thanks.
@@morbidcorpse5954 On paper that should work! If you don't have Omni yet, best to try your idea with a free synth in Reaper, just to see if it works. But if Guitar Pro can export a single MIDI file, it should be as easy as drag and drop. Best of luck!
Just got Omnisphere 2 today. Thanks for the instructional on this synth. I'm just getting started at age 65 on synthesis. What a journey it'll be. Again, thank you.
love that there is someone who can not only explain the plain basics of synthesis but can actually walk you through the process and gain amazing results
Stunning ambience tune at the conclusion - what a build-up and a good lesson - that's the thing with Omnisphere - lots of controls and your eyes bug out. Thanks for the demystification!
Sometimes I just want to quit music because is so hard to make a living. But when I see this quality sound design videos I just feel the urge to play chords on synths. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Mind blown. I've had Omnisphere 2 for about 4 years, and have only farted around in it. This video, and the previous one you mentioned, have taught me so much about the synth. Love all your vids Chris, but fell free to drop more Omnisphere content any time! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents with us. :)
same boat but add another year. I also think my knowledge was not at the level that omnisphere kinda requires when i bought it... more of a 12,000 sounds thing that sold me
Literally just bought a daw, controller, and omnisphere to start learning how to do stuff like this 2 days ago. Just watched this, and it is precisely what i have been looking for to help me learn. You are a great teacher and I love how excited you are about sharing. Great work and thank you so much!!
I thought " I don't have 44 minutes of my life to waste watching this crap " then I got sucked in. 44 minutes later I wanted more, I could barely hope of keeing up but I gained insight here and there, it all adds to a bigger picture and as the gaps in knowledge get filled in and the tidbits connect.... Yeh, it was very good. subscribed to see more like this.
Finally diving into these Omnisphere videos, Chris! Great idea to work with one synth to create multiple parts within a track. Great way to learn a synth inside out.
Even if you know a synth well, hang out with S1gns in one of his videos, and you'll still find out something new, or discover a fresh approach to getting more from your synths...
Really great sounding Omnisphere 2 patches . You just created them so efficiently - great work Chris. I must look into getting Omnisphere 2 one of these days.
A great insight into Omnisphere (which is so deep there's always something new to learn) and a great insight into creating an ambient track ... brilliantly explained, non-patronising and genuinely interesting to watch you put a track together ... and that sequence is superb ... off to try that approach now!
Thanks for this tutorial! I never knew how deep Omnisphere was. Two days ago, I never knew it could do layering too! But, your tutorial has really allowed me to understand it like never before. And I've owned it a long, long time too. I first started with Atmosphere 20 years ago when I saw it at Guitar Center. I was looking for a new hardware synth and bought it instead. Since then, of course, it's changed its name to Omnisphere and I upgraded to it. I used it for electronic rock and psychedelic tunes. I've never used it for Ambient music. I stopped recording in 2008 after my studio was broken into and I was robbed of about 10 grand of hardware and a PC with my music on it. I've since moved and the new place wasn't big enough to have more than a couple synths in a corner next to my PC desk. About 3 years ago, after I built a 10 x 12 shed, the music bug bit me again and I started to toy around with new hardware synths like Deepmind 12, DSI Prophet Rev.2, and Korg Wavestate. But, although my love for making music had returned, it was not flowing in my mind like it used to. I was stuck playing riffs that I did 15 years ago -- until recently when I rediscovered my Omnisphere license and downloaded it with the 2.8 update. Now, I've started to really enjoy the lighter variety of Ambient music, and even explore more cinematic sounds for a spacy, cosmic sound. I even have my own TH-cam channel now! My Wavestate has some very ambient pads that I really love but it's limited since I don't really deep menu dive to make my own sounds. So, I've turned to Omnisphere to provide me with the sounds that I'd never be able to make in a million years -- but guess what? I found your tutorial and it is exactly what I needed! I never knew making new sounds could be so simple, with some work, of course, but do-able! Thanks for taking the time to educate me -- us! I'm sure to watch this video over and over again as I explore my new found Ambient visions. Cheers!
What an Amazing experience watching the development of this track. This was like going on a journey full of surprises. Well done! I have to listen to it again. Learned allot more abut Omnisphere. Thank you!
My goodness. These sounds are absolutely outstanding! I already knew how Omnisphere is so powerful and versatile but I am really amazed and seeing this creative process as well which goes well beyond just the synth in this case Omnisphere as obviously these same things can be done in other synths. Sure, it may not be all so integrated therefore it might need more instances if you're using a synth like Serum. But this is absolutely great!! Thank you so much for showing us!
Would you do a tutorial about the arpegiattor in Omnisphere? I'm listening to your "Wave Interfereence" album and there is a lot of arpeggiator on it, very tastefully used. I'd love to hear how you get these parts...kind of reminds me of Depeche Mode in some ways. Thanks for the videos.
This is great... learned a BUNCH of things just by watching this video, and I've had Omnisphere for over 4 years now. :) One question... I may have missed this in the video, but how do you save a sound that you've created in Omnisphere so you can use it later in other pieces?
This was great. I don’t use omnisphere, but the principles behind what you did were really easy to apply elsewhere. Still a noob, but learning more every day. Thanks Chris.
Fantastic video production 👍 Can you please make a video how to setup multi timbre Chanel’s for one instant of omnisphere Are you using a new instant of omnisphere on abletons midi/audio Chanel?
Man Omnisphere sounds so good! hopefully one day Il make enough to buy it. for now tho I'm just using free / open source software.. and a few cheap plugin-boutique purchases i snapped up. using free FX plugins and samples i recorded to make unique pads and plucks etc... but omnisphere seems to do it all in one go! haha! Epic! :D
Woah what "outboard" reverb did you use in this video (26:02) when you were increasing the sends in Ableton for that pad & the bass? It makes it sound real spacious and it's what I've been looking for. I'm looking to buy it too.
Omnisphere is simply the best sounding virtual synth. I use HALion, I use Falcon and still Omnisphere sounds better and is much easier to use, you do not need a university degree to use it like the first two. The only thing that drags it down is the price. At that price it rivals with some of the low cost hard synths, which honestly it shouldn't. And damn, never goes on sale.
The inspirational power synth.

I have tried SO many times to dethrone Omnisphere, but I always come back home to it in the long run.
Stunning ambience tune at the conclusion - what a build-up and a good lesson - that's the thing with Omnisphere - lots of controls and your eyes bug out. Thanks for the demystification!
This synth is insane. I never regret that I bought it!
best tutorial I've seen on Omnisphere great work
Cheers and thank you!
You rock! I love this ambient style. Thanks for showing all these stuff.
I just discovered the channel. instant subscribe! Thank you for putting so much work into these videos, much appreciated.

You are so welcome! This is super encouraging feedback. I'll keep going!
Yeah OmniSphere rules. More permutations than a shape-shifting alien life form. A user for 13 years. Hopelessly addicted. Which is good. :)
same boat but add another year. I also think my knowledge was not at the level that omnisphere kinda requires when i bought it... more of a 12,000 sounds thing that sold me
Same here only been farted around in it. But this video has opened up some eyes to what this can do.
Your tutorials are a life saver!

Great video chris! Thanks for showing us how we can get more out of this synth , much love
Wonderful stuff. Going to use your tips to pump some life into some new tracks swimming in my head!

I watched your vid because I'm thinking of investing in Omnisphere and I'm really glad I did. Thanks.
The moment around 39:50 just made my day. SOL, never stop creating!

Thank you so much! I love hearing feedback like that.
Great demo of the power of Omnisphere. Once you dive in....
This is more useful than any tutorial to help me understand how to fully utilize Omnisphere. Thank you so much.
Awesome content brother!

awesome tutorial !
never really though about getting omnisphere, but your video really showed what I am missing out. great walkthrough!
Thank you so much! Omni is really quite powerful. Glad you found my video inspiring and useful.
Thanks, man! This video was beneficial.
Thanks so much for these Omnisphere sessions. Very helpful…
You deserve more subs man. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much!
This is great... learned a BUNCH of things just by watching this video, and I've had Omnisphere for over 4 years now. :) One question... I may have missed this in the video, but how do you save a sound that you've created in Omnisphere so you can use it later in other pieces?
Utility menu at the top --> "Save Patch As..."
THANK YOU!!!
great job

You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed.
Amazing great tutorial
Great Tutorial
That was freakin awesome
Fantastic video production 👍
Can you please make a video how to setup multi timbre Chanel’s for one instant of omnisphere
Are you using a new instant of omnisphere on abletons midi/audio Chanel?
Interesting topic! Omnisphere's "multis" can be routed to separate destinations. I'll address that in a future video. Cheers and thank you!
Amazing stuff !
when you're making the arp, i noticed it sounds different as soon as yopu open it. Are you running it through reverb and delay?>
Greattt, thanks!
Man Omnisphere sounds so good! hopefully one day Il make enough to buy it. for now tho I'm just using free / open source software.. and a few cheap plugin-boutique purchases i snapped up. using free FX plugins and samples i recorded to make unique pads and plucks etc... but omnisphere seems to do it all in one go! haha!

Mind blowing watching you doing this sH1t. This is so interesting.
Woah what "outboard" reverb did you use in this video (26:02) when you were increasing the sends in Ableton for that pad & the bass? It makes it sound real spacious and it's what I've been looking for. I'm looking to buy it too.
Valhalla Room. Cheers!
Amazing
Very good tutorial and incredibly instructive. Thank you ! Greetings from Switzerland from "ubimar" on Soundcloud
uaaaau thank you !!
excellent
Nice!!
Hiw do you get the envelopes and LFO's to sync up with your MiDI notes or chords exactly.
Chris, Could you please do a Zebra walkthrough too? I see you haven't used Zebra on channel for a while.
Listening to this in the background not realising it's a jam session.
I've been getting into sound design on Omnisphere for a few months... it's absolutely amazing! Halion will sleep on the wet spot. Great video dude!
Thank you so much!
you should make a ambient track with arturia pigments
Good idea! Thank you.

On point dude! I totally agree.
The answer to ambient music is Omnisphere.
Imagine the anmount of work Brian Eno went through 30-40 years ago, to create ambient sounds 😵💫
omnisphere has lots of useless sounds which are un necessary
Copied this guy step for step but ended up with something horrible and nothing like it lol.
Too much talk 😟
More omnisphere 👋🏻🫱🏻🫲🏼
