Omnisphere is absolutely mighty, and it's quite easy to overlook a lot of its more powerful features. In this series I break the synth down into functional areas, examining how it all fits together.
About me:
My name is Anthony Chisnall. I'm a musician & songwriter.
My channel is these things:
1. A place to share my songs - via various 'Back on Track' video series - in which you'll see each song idea evolve step-by-step, with me (hopefully!) improving my song-writing skills as we go.
2. An outlet for me to discuss all things musical - including technical break-downs of software and tools that I use, as well as more wide-ranging discussions of topics that interest me.
I play the guitar (electric, acoustic, and bass), and record all of my own synth-based sounds myself too, but I can't sing very well (huge understatement!), and so my wife, Pauline, who has a lovely singing voice, has come to my rescue. You'll hear her on all of my songs.
All of my music is written in Steinberg's Cubase.
I try very hard to make my videos PRACTICAL and no-nonsense - if I don't use a feature, I'm not going to waste your time trying to sound like an expert on it! This is the stuff I use day-to-day, so I think that's also what you'd like to hear me talking about.

This is the best Omnisphere tutorial I have ever watched. The detail is unbelievable. Thank you for that.
You're very welcome, and thank you for your kind support, I really appreciate it :)
I am now a member too. You have done so much work for yourself. I have to support that.
Thanks for this Sir, will wait for the complete series ☺️
Definitely looking forward to this one! Always a great and thorough review.
Thanks - yeah, I'm really looking forward to this one :)
Excellent tutorial! Best I've heard (and believe me, I've listened to many). Thank you for being detailed enough and making a difficult subject easy. I'm gonna listen to all the rest in this series!
Thanks for the kind feedback, I really appreciate it :)
God bless you, man, for slowly plodding through this for rookies, such as myself. Not only is Omni brand new to me, my experience with synthsofts is pretty scant. I needed this. Thank you for taking the time, my friend.
You're very welcome, I'm glad you found them useful :)
What a great contribution to this komplex instrument. The way you present this is really good! Thank you!!!
You're very welcome, thanks for your kind feedback!
What a Beast of a synth! So thankful you've put this together!
You're very welcome, thanks for the feedback :)
Excellent video indeed! keep 'em comin'!
I think Omnisphere makes it simple to create any imagined sound from any sound with as few clicks as possible. It’s the greatest soft synth ever in my opinion.
Yeah, it's the perfect mix of power and ease of use.
Your tutorials are the best I have found on the net - I have watched the Groove Agent tutorial and I am now going through this one. You explain things in a clear and organised way; it is also organized in a way that makes it easy to find topics to refenrence back when needed. Thank you very much for this!!
That's awesome feedback, thanks for saying so :)
Great tutorial! Please continue with this series.
Thanks! It will be quite a long series, I hope you enjoy it :)
Excellent tutorial. No hype. Just clear and to the point. Look forward to viewing the other videos in this Omnisphere series.
I appreciate that, thanks for the feedback :)
I've seen so many tutorials on so many topics... I have a feeling this series is really going to stand out. I really need this level of detail. Also, your love for the software really shines through, which I notice enhances my information intake drastically. So yeah, thanks so much!
That's great to hear, thanks for the kind feedback!
Thank you so much for this! Everything was brilliantly explained. I'm super new to Omnisphere 2 and music production, but your explanations have made it so much easier for me to just get stuck in and play around with everything. Have an awesome day!
That's wonderful to hear, thanks for the feedback :)

Glad I could help - thanks for the feedback :)
Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome program
thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.
You're welcome :)
I thought I had synthesis down after learning serum and then I got omnisphere and I was paralyzed. Wonderful video, I’ve been asking for a series like this and you made it!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback!
Thank you
Bro you are fucking crazy. Your knowledge of so much of this stuff is staggering. This one video alone helped me realize what Omni is truly capable of.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it :)
thanks! :)
This is exactly the right approach. We cannot just get lost in these presets which are magically making all this sound. We need to start with a single saw oscillator, and understand what's happening. Actually, the way you described it it doesn't seem that difficult. A layer is really just a single oscillator path, and we could combine four oscillators into a patch. We could just stop there, because that is a normal synthesizer setup. Normally I would probably just multitrack, and not make a "multi."
But how does this thing do as far as CPU burden? I'm running Nuendo 13, would be using it as a plug-in, anywhere from 4 to 8 tracks @ 96kHz to make digital synthesizer song demos. I've got an iMac, Pro, which was a powerhouse $10K machine at release...however these days, who can say. Is it going to get bogged down, and plagued with latency? I'm going to watch all the rest of your vids in this series, as I'm seriously considering adding this digital synth to complement my MOTM analog rack.
Hi, I regularly have more than 8 Omnisphere tracks running concurrently without any issue, but to be fair my PC is decent spec (AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core). Omnisphere is fundamentally a glorified sample player at heart (it calls them 'soundsources' but they're samples!), so its CPU burden is significantly lower than true modellers.
@@OneManAndHisSongs Bought it, installed, and did sound design and some recording all day yesterday. This thing is really incredible, specially the sound quality at 96kHz is really solid (I’m only using synthesis not samples). Also, it just seems dead simple and logical, but maybe cause I watched your whole educational series first! No real problem with processing power yet, there was a bit of latency but managed to eliminate most of that (I cannot get the interface buffer down to 32 without crackles, 128 was the lowest I could go).
merci beaucoup a toi :))
You're very welcome :)
Thank you for these! Seriously. Can you PLEASE make a playlist for this series?
You're very welcome - I did! Here it is: ruclips.net/p/PL3P42Av427hxN-I67qiBwams1ZqzpiV_c . Looks like I need to reorganise how my Playlists are displayed :)
@@OneManAndHisSongs really appreciate it!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi! So in the sample where JP-8000 Supersaw (as you have in your video), there are up and down arrows next to them that changes the sample. When I click on them I see a bunch of other options and they are shown in "all" for each category, type, source and I was wondering if there was a way I could pin point where that selection is coming from?
Another thing that has been bothering me is that I can't find a 'favorite' button.
Click the "Edit Tags" button at the bottom left of the browser and you'll see all its current assignments.
There's no "favorite" button per se, but you can apply rating to your sounds, then sort by rating. There's also a "Marked" feature which basically does the same job - shift-click on the name of the patch and it will put a little circle next to the ratings section. You can then sort by 'marked'.
I loved this Full Tutorial and I thank you in advance for the fun it'll bring later! I'd love to hear your thoughts and maybe interest you in doing one for Trash 2. I love how it harshes signals but I can't find a good source that breaks the plugin down the same way that you do for Omnisphere. Thanks again!
My to-do list is very long, but I'll have a look at it. I must admit it's not a plugin I've used yet
thank you very much for the video. Are you going to produce more of this? best Piet
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes :)
frick yeah
Well, quite :)
are you able to change the tuning of each individual note? e.g. if i want to detune A but keep B as it is.
I don't know, sorry. There are a very large number of alternate tunings to pick from, but I don't know of a way to manually configure individual keys. (If I wanted to do that I'd use a dedicated MIDI mapper such as Scaler 2)
I have a question ... I installed omnisphere 2 to my Mac for logic pro x. And sounds would not play so I reinstalled but still nothing .. would you know the problem ??
Sorry, no, I've never had that issue with Omnisphere
Hi Anthony. I've been using Omni for years but never stepped outside the comfort zone provided by the presets. Have decided to roll up my sleeves and learn how to work this thing from the bottom up. Quick question. How do you manage to get that oscilloscope window up alongside the omni interface? Is that a cubase feature or an omni one?
The Oscilloscope comes with Cubase and the Spectrum Analyser is from iZotope (i.e. neither of them come with Omnisphere). Hope you enjoy your Omni-dive :)
How do I access the oscilloscope in Cubase, plz?
Ah, found it. SuperVision in the Plugin Reference
Hi Anthony, Just found your channel. Thanks for the fantastic breakdown for newbies like me. If I hadn't found your channel I would have stepped away from this synth. You must have a link in your channel to send viewers to the site to buy Omnisphere from. Maybe you could get a cut for sales. I will be buying this synth in the next couple of days thanks to you. once again.
That's very kind of you to say, thank you! Yes, I'm very remiss for not sorting out affiliate links - thanks for reminding me to move it up my "to do" list :)
Can omnisphere do everything Pigments can do? I only want to get one synth
I've done a Pigments series (here: ruclips.net/p/PL3P42Av427hyFl3F3wnRKM_2zghT6vFVb). The simple answer is "more or less". They have different synthesis engines, so no comparison is going to be perfect, but both synths are VERY comprehensive. Either will do you just fine. (Personally I prefer Omnisphere, but it's very close.)
@@OneManAndHisSongs Omnisphere has a lot more windows and seems very unintuitive, but the sample content is unmatched. But I’m looking for a synth though. Got plenty of samplers. Great tutorials btw, I’ve watched both series. Now it’s time to check out Vital, Phaseplant, and Falcon!
Unfortunately difficult to watch on mobile as you didn’t make this Omnisphere app window bigger. Don’t even know what for we need to see other oscillators windows and part of the DAW window. Apart of that it’s very good tutorial. But can’t watch it on my mobile as I’m out of my home
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I try to maintain a consistent perspective, but that comes at a cost
I’ve been using Omnisphere for a few years now. It’s still the Rolls Royce of soft synths. I used to get annoyed when Serum kept winning the best synth in Music Radar and the other music mags. But Serum is only good for one genre and it’s not got a sequencer either. And it monsters CPU far more than Omnisphere. I even recall one critic writing that Serum was set to be no.1 for the next decade!!! It’s almost forgotten now.
Yeah, it's really incredible - it's my go-to plugin for piano (LA Custom), Rhodes, and long, evolving pads. It has a depth of tone that nothing else can touch.
Can't hear you. Speak up man!!
Yeah, my setup was a bit dodgy at the time. Not much I can do about the old videos, but I've fixed it now, sorry!
Your mic volume is tooooo low👎
Thank you
