Omnisphere Ylem by Gahrn Audio - REVIEW



Omnisphere Ylem is a collection of 50 dark, atmospheric textures for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 aimed at ambient and experimental film and game music.

25 Textures Playable
25 Textures Soundscape

Omnisphere Ylem requires Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 version 2.3.2 or higher.

REVIEW
A while ago I reviewed Omnisphere Ylem II created by Gahrn Audio, a sound design company owned and operated by composer, producer, and sound designer Claus Gahrn. Just like Ylem II it has a collection of 50 dark, atmospheric textures for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 created for ambient, experimental film and game music.  The fact that I was going backwards and reviewing a part one soundset after reviewing the second soundset in the Ylem series was a little worrisome. Certainly part 2 had to be better right? Maybe and maybe not. Ylem contains 2 categories 'textures playable' and 'textures soundscapes' just like it's brother Ylem II.
The textures in Ylem are powerful, dripping with dark emotions. I encourage everyone to put a pair of headphones on and listen to the textures in the video patch walk-through I created below. If you own Ylem II, you need the original Ylem, I believe these two soundsets work in conjunction with each other as a perfect pair. 

The textures in Omnisphere Ylem are ominous, haunting, and mysterious. If you are scoring a horror, sci-fi, or suspenseful film, this would make an essential addition to your composing underscore arsenal. Gahrn Audio has created Ylem with a modern complexity of atmospheric utopia. Ylem also contains some demo patches you can try before you buy it but at this price point of €14.00 (incl. VAT) I would say it isn't necessary. You can listen to all the patches in the video below and this should convince anyone this soundset is worth its weight in sound design gold. So, the bottom line is GarhnAudio's Ylem is out of this word and
deserves a spot in anyone’s Omnisphere 2 third party library collection and earns a 5 out of 5 stars!

Journeys - Omnisphere 2 Soundset by Triple Spiral Audio - Review




I first ran across Triple Spiral Audio from a blog site in 2017. Needless to say I forgot to bookmark it and forgot the name of the company later that day. In 2018 I finally saw 'Triple Spiral Audio' resurface via a twitter post. Finally, I could revisit a company I wanted to check out in 2017. I was interested in hearing their Omnisphere 2 soundset libraries. 

Journeys for Omnisphere 2 arrived in 2018 with 128 patches created from the original Omnisphere 2 sound sources and divided into 2 categories. It contains 'Textures Playable' and 'Textures Soundscapes'. My 1st reaction when I hit the keyboard was explosive. I immediately was projected into a Journey of beauty and darkness colliding. I heard everything from early Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter, and synth soundtrack modern greats like 'It Follows'. This is exactly what I have been waiting for. 


You will hear everything from creepy vintage soundscapes of the 70's and 80's to ambiances that evolve and capture everything the imagination can gather.   Triple Spiral Audio made me a fan for life. If you are looking for sounds that are ominous, dark, retro, ambient, and something that sounds from another world, pick this up now.


Positives:

Sounds, Patches, Value and Originality

Negatives:

None for me- some people might complain that there are no multis but to be honest, this library does not need any multis.


Final Review:

One of the most unique Omnisphere 2 soundsets I've played in a long time. Journeys will surely take you on an unforgettable musical experience. 5 out of 5 Stars
