Producer’s stance, there might be a little too much harmonic content here for this patch to be easily inserted into a mix. This makes us think that these intense colours may provide their own backdrop, without the space for many additions, and requiring filter or EQ to create further mix-space.Baltic backdropsBaltic Shimmers is a classy product and a worthy addition to any Omnisphere owner’s library. It’s sensibly priced, with a clear product remit: provide sumptuous pads and drones for media compositions. This does not preclude additional programming though – the amalgamation of other Omnisphere samples will extend this package’s life.The registers of patches can be variable, with low-pitched material often presenting itself in the middle register of your controller keyboard. But that’s a minor gripe for a suite that has been assembled so beautifully during the sampling process.Do I really need this?As expansion packs go, Baltic Shimmers is pretty on-message with its brief. The use of organic sampled material that has been treated to a number of colourful effect and tape-based enhancements results in a collection of drones and pads that are big on detail and interest. As an overall colour, the package feels dark but, with experimentation, while residing alongside the rest of the excellent Omnisphere content, its patches could easily be adapted for other causes and colours. It has a distinct natural feel and flavour, and provides plenty of slowly evolving pads without the more pulsating elements that Omnisphere is recognised for.Key featuresNew collection of samples and presets, inspired by the seaMore than 140 curated patches and sourcesCinematic shimmers, pads and dronesSamples drawn from natural elements and acoustic/electric instrumentationPresented in a sample resolution of 48khz/24bit stereo1.5Gb disk space requiredRequires Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.6+AlternativesThe UnfinishedOmnisphere patch and sample libraries from £20From the studio of renowned composer Matt Bowdler, The Unfinished’s considerable collection of Omnisphere patch libraries spans many genres, with suitable representations for media, electronic music production and world music.

Spectrasonics' ambitious new sample–based power synth explores the realms of psychoacoustics and organic synthesis while running on a Steam engine — what can this all mean? Let's find out...Wouldn't it be nice to live in a universe where the unexpected always happened? A place where water flowed uphill, money grew on trees, fish wrote poetry and fireflies directed the traffic? An alternative reality in which football managers made surprising statements like, 'for the game with Surreal Madrid we'll be playing with 10 goalkeepers and a lone daffodil up front'? A brave new world where politicians kept their promises, drummers kept perfect time, rock guitarists played at reasonable volume and TV talent show judges talked sense?Eric Persing lives in this universe. The founder of Spectrasonics has always created products which defy expectations, whether they be the eclectic world–music excursions of Supreme Beats and Heart Of Asia, the Distorted Reality series or the hip, funky swirling beats on Liquid Grooves and Ethno Techno. Persing's imaginative streak was always harnessed to musical practicality, as evidenced by the huge collection of instantly usable, bang–on–the–money grooves found in Metamorphosis, Retrofunk and Backbeat. The quest to combine the unpredictable with the highly functional culminated in the first quarter of 2003 with the popular trio of virtual instruments Stylus, Trilogy and Atmosphere. Though all three have helped many a record into the charts, the sample–based Atmosphere synth seems to have made the biggest impression (possibly because prior to its release such lush, layered pads were the exclusive preserve of owners of several expensive keyboards and a posh reverb unit).After five years topping the pops, Atmosphere has finally been discontinued and replaced by a far more ambitious instrument. Its name is (cue drum roll...) Omnisphere. Things have moved on since Atmosphere's heyday, and while Paul White's assessment of its 3.7GB sample database as "vast" was a fair comment at the time, Omnisphere's 42GB core library rather puts it in the shade. This 1000 percent increase in sonic firepower is merely one indicator of the new synth's superiority.Spectrasonics have not left users out in the cold: Atmosphere owners wishing to buy Omnisphere are entitled to a significant discount which grows bigger if they also own Trilogy and Stylus. To further ease the pain of upgrading, Omnisphere incorporates Atmosphere's entire sample library as well as painstakingly recreated versions of all its factory patches. The only snag is that due to its new design, Omnisphere can't import Atmosphere user patches; to continue using those you have to either manually recreate them in Omnisphere, or simply carry on using Atmosphere (which will happily run alongside Omnisphere inside a project). Either way, Spectrasonics advise users to keep Atmosphere installed to recall older projects.OmnipotenceThe
