Yes, but only if that copy of Omnisphere has been properly license transferred through Spectrasonics.
Yes, but only if that copy of Atmosphere has been properly license transferred through Spectrasonics.
No. Customers who participate in a special upgrade program for any Spectrasonics virtual instruments are not eligible for license transfers either for the original instrument or its subsequent upgrade. For example, if an original owner of Atmosphere takes advantage of our special “legacy” upgrade program to Omnisphere 3, the owner is not permitted to resell either instrument and no license transfer will be granted.
Since it is the same original license, Omnisphere 3 would still be eligible for a future license transfer. However, your previous version of Omnisphere cannot be transferred as a separate product.
No. Omnisphere 3 is simply the next major version of Omnisphere.
Omnisphere 3 includes a standalone application and VST/AU/AAX plug-in platforms that work in all the major DAWs and hosts.

Yes. Omnisphere 3 is the next version of Omnisphere. When installed, the Omnisphere 3 Upgrade replaces the Omnisphere plug-in and updates the sound library.
Absolutely - it is still Omnisphere! Version 3 is fully backwards compatible with version 1 and 2 projects.
No. They will open and operate the same as always.
No. All third-party Omnisphere libraries are fully compatible with Omnisphere 3.
Yes, please see the Copy Protection FAQs area of the Knowledgebase for more information on our system.
All our instruments include a comprehensive online Reference Guide, which is accessible directly through the plug-in. The integrated Reference Guide is searchable and we can keep it up to date with the software releases. You can check out the Reference Guide HERE.
As with all virtual instruments - the faster the better. Omnisphere 3 is designed to run optimally on modern computers. See the System Requirements for more information.
Some newer patches require more resources than older ones. However, many new patches do not require more resources.
Because of patch compatibility, Omnisphere 3 must always be installed with the complete library. However, you can install the sound library to a secondary or external drive if you wish.
Fast drives are a smart way to go of course.
Yes, you can definitely install the library to a secondary or external drive. It is very important that it is NOT formatted to exFAT or MS-DOS (FAT32), otherwise the performance will be extremely sluggish. It's recommended to always reformat a new drive to newer standards prior to installing Omnisphere on that drive.
Yes! You can now use any WAV or AIFF audio files in Omnisphere as soundsources for creating your own amazing sounds! Omnisphere 3 supports bit depths up to 24-bit files and sample rates up to 192kHz.
Omnisphere 3 supports one audio file of any length per soundsource. You can layer up to four soundsources in a patch and 8 patches in a multi. Keep in mind that Omnisphere's focus is as a synthesizer and will never be a sampler with multiple velocities, key-mapping, round-robin, etc. - there are other instruments out there that do that very well.
Omnisphere 3 allows you to easily turn your audio files and even your audio tracks/mixes into synthesis source for Omnisphere 3's powerful oscillators. It's remarkable how much you can creatively mangle one sound and transform it into something awesome!
