Plughugger 'The Void' for Omnisphere 2- Review & Patch Walkthrough





The Void is an ambient and cinematic soundset for Omnisphere 2 with the focus on sounds with a slow meditative character.

The majority of the sounds are built upon the factory recordings in Omnisphere: bells, ethnic chants and assorted instruments from India and Asia such as Sitars, Chinese Temple Flutes and of course Tibetan Singing Bowls. These sounds were then layered, processed and stretched with the granular engine into entirely new sounds and soundscapes.

with focus on slow
meditative soundscapes
To really bring out the meditative character of the sounds we also recorded a handful of vocals clips typical for guiding in meditation.

The Void contains 202 sounds in the following categories:
  • 15 Arpeggios/Sequences
  • 9 Ethnic World sounds
  • 13 Human Voices
  • 8 Pads & Strings
  • 11 Poly Synth sounds
  • 96 Textures and Soundscapes
  • 50 Multi sounds
Review: 
I found this to be a very unique, immersive library for Omnisphere 2. The video I made above is about an 1 hour and a half of every patch. You get 202 sounds 152 singles + 50 multis all at the regularly price of 19.90 Euro. This is an awesome value for anyone looking for some new original unique sounds for their Omnisphere 2 library. I already have a song I wrote that will be on my new album coming out later this year. Check out all the sounds in the video above.

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  OmniOdyssey 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.
