is the most fun I've had with a plug-in instrument in a long time
what's up guys a couple months ago I bought a hardware synthesizer the profit
6 by sequential I've bought it because it produces beautiful sounds now if you
want to know more about why I chose that synth and another synth that I have the
cord mini log watch this video but today I'm using the profit 6 as a MIDI
controller that's right a $2,000 MIDI controller which means I'm not even
using the sounds the beautiful sounds that this thing can create here's why
I'm controlling omnisphere with omnisphere 2.5 you can control many
aspects of the sound with an external hardware synth there are a bunch of
hardware cents that can control it including some much cheaper ones like
the Korg mini log for $500 I'll demo that in just a moment but let me tell
you using the profit 6 to control omnisphere
is the most fun I've had with a plug-in instrument in a long time to use any of
the compatible hardware sense with omnisphere you just need to select it
from the hardware menu at the top it maps all the controls automatically so
it's easy to start modifying controls because it's all labeled on your synth
in addition to controlling and modifying all of the omnisphere patches you get
some additional patches in the hardware library actually all the presets that
are optimized for control on the various compatible hardware sense are here so
even if you don't have one of those hardware since you can access all of
them the profit 6 can control a bunch of different things
oscillators 1 and to control the layers in omnisphere
you can change the shape of the waves
sub octave add some bass to any sound
and of course you've got the high and low-pass filters
you can also control unison envelopes LFO the arpeggiator and even the effects
I love that the ominous tear panels switch depending on which knob you're
controlling controlling cutoff it automatically switches to the cutoff
page either changing the shape of a wave it switches to that page it's so much
easier than using the mouse to navigate different windows depending on what you
want to control now let's hear what it can do in a song that I created for this
song I'm using all omnisphere patches and nothing else the drums are coming
from samples
all right that was so much fun but let's talk about a cheaper alternative the
Korg mini log the cork mini log is also compatible with omnisphere so you can
control some things but the mini log is much more limited with what you can
control
I had some good results controlling the oscillators and changing the shapes and
of course cutoff and resonance is always fun to play with but LFO was a bit more
complex I just didn't have as much fun controlling on the sphere with a mini
log than I did with the Prophet six so if you're looking for a more inexpensive
option to control omnisphere I'd suggest looking at the Roland SEO 2
it's small compact and has a lot better control of on the sphere and of course
you get the hardware synth sounds that it makes I'm not telling you that you
should go out and buy a hardware stand just to control omnisphere but if you
have a compatible synth lying around I highly recommend that you give this a
try you're gonna have a whole lot of fun now if you don't own omnisphere
but you have one of the compatible hardware since this may be a good reason
to buy on the sphere I mean it's that much fun
and of course honest fear has top-notch sounds just on its own I hope you
