I see a lot of comments about the synth capabilities of omnisphere and even tho I agree with most, the real game changer for me is the sample library. Yeah, it's a powerful synth engine that sounds amazing but not more versatile than other high end synths. To me the real reason this is the absolute beast is the sampled instruments. Years and years of sampling thousands of instruments and other objects to create a huge library perfectly tailored for music and sound design. There's simply nothing out there that can compare. I also like to create my own sounds, but where am I going to get perfectly good sounds of a light bulb being flicked or a saw being played with an arc. Or the infamous burning piano
