我们生活在数字时代, 除了那些必不可少的硬件, 音乐类的软件几乎不再拥有实体, 一切从网络下载即可. 但Spectrasonics依然推出了他们盛名已久的新三大巨头的盒装版, 这应该是出于他们对自身产品的自豪, 也满足了用户对载体时代的追忆.
我入手的是Omnisphere2的USB盒装版, 方方正正的包装, 和宣传图一样, 不过稍微有点点偏紫.
抽出内盒, 是一个黑色漂亮的硬纸盒, 有Spectrasonics的LOGO.
Omnisphere素雅的内盒
硬纸盒有封条, 打开后, 会有一堆印刷精美的Spectrasonics公司产品的宣传小彩页及Omnisphere说明书, 而盒子正中, 镶嵌着Omnisphere的主体, 一张小卡片. 这是一张附有USB闪存的卡片, 将它插入电脑, 便会看到一个50多G的Omnisphere的安装包.
从说明书里找到属于我的序列号, 在Spectrasonics官网注册一个账号, 并加入这条序列号, Omnisphere正式入库了.
Omnisphere的安装并没有什么复杂的, 这个部分我相信大多数用户都很清楚. 但在入手了正版以后, 我终于可以肆无忌惮的使用它了.

New Hardware Sound Library
Omnisphere includes a stunning new “Hardware Library” with over 1,600 new patches created by Eric Persing and the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development team. Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere controller. These inspiring new sounds feature a wide range of categories and many have a distinctly ‘classic’ flavor! Notably, this update takes Eric’s classic sound design work from the original 1987 Roland D-50 into completely new sonic territory with Omnisphere’s vast synthesis capabilities. Best of all, the new sounds are available for ALL users, regardless of using the hardware or not!
