This soundset is the first to be released (June 2018) and I plan also an update when the new Omnisphere 2.5 is released.

Omnisphere Cyberia by The Unfinished for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 - Out Now!
Omnisphere Cyberia is a collection of 300 patches for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.
It
is designed to blend the electronic and organic worlds, in order to
provide dynamic and dramatic, atmospheric sounds; full of grit, punch
and wonder.
The library is primarily aimed at the dense, action-packed and immersive soundtracks of modern FPS games such as Modern Warfare, Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, Battlefield and Halo; but it also brings in hints of powerful, modulating dancefloor synths, the delicately brutal score sound of Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, and even some folk horror.
Cyberia is dripping with rippling basslines, bowed drones, atonal pulses,
thrashy guitars, dark synths, glitchy textures, hi-octane loops, epic
impacts, dusty organic pads, brooding atmospheres and spine-chilling
effects.
This
collection creates an enveloping world of sound: tense, aggressive,
lustrous, raw and complex. It takes thrilling, cutting edge, cinematic
sounds and adds an extra layer of intimacy, ambience and unease, placing
you at the centre of a sonic palette designed to tell a gripping and
eclectic story.
Omnisphere Cyberia is available for £39.99 +VAT. You will need Omnisphere 2 to run this library.Wednesday, April 18, 2018

A Classic 70's Synth
As used on John Carpenter soundtracks, Genesis albums and many others!A Brief History of a Classic late 70’s Synth – The ARP Quadra!
The ARP Quadra was a 61 key analog musical synthesizer produced by ARP Instruments, Inc. from 1978 to 1981.The machine was a four section synthesiser that combined pre-existing products, including the Omni, Odyssey and Solina and consisted of a bass-synth (monophonic), poly-synth (full polyphonic), lead-synth (duophonic), and Solina like analog strings (full polyphonic).
The top three octaves of the keyboard have a mechanical touch sensor that can either pitch bend or impact brilliance and filter. Unique is the flat pedal feature which allows pedaling to dip individual notes and chords a semitone below so they rise to pitch with the envelope’s attack.
The Quadra used the typical ARP orange and black color scheme of the company’s later years including the orange leather end pieces and the clean XLR out for DI console recording.
This is a classic late 70’s synth that was used by: Genesis, Pink Floyd, New Order, Joe Zawinul and John Carpenter… and many more.
