What’s good MT fam!
You know our main goal is to make sure you can make the music YOU want to make with Maschine.
So if we need to do a tutorial on a third party software that you have we will….if we have it 🙂
Had one of the MT fam ask about Omnisphere and just wanted a general overview of how to use it
So in this video I go over the interface, the main parameters, how to browse presets and sound sources as well as how to design your own sounds from the sound sources or by stacking and editing presets.
I also show how to map Omnisphere parameters to Maschine for automation, it’s not as simple as automap for many other plugins in Maschine
enjoy!
If there is something you want to know about deeper in Omnisphere let me know, also, if there are other plugins that you need explained so you can really get your music down let me know!
MT is all about Maschine….and the ecosystem it works in. I know everyone has different tools and products, we just want to make sure you’re able to use them with Maschine or in general so you can make the music you want!

Man what a synth! Thanks for showin bro!
No problem, and yes it’s a wonderful plugin man lol
YOOOO around 14:23 serious man! Omni def is on my wish list….you’re a lucky guy to have that bad boy. Great vid.
NO doubt fam! It’s a monster, many think it’s just about nice fluffy sounds….no sir, they literally have an encyclopedia of synths, once you get past the presets, which they are always updating…there’s a world full of soundsources to explore. It’s dope. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND the owner, Eric Persing, probably designed some of your favorite sounds over the past 20 years lol, he was head sound designer for Roland for a long time before going off to do his own thing with Spectrasonics 🙂
yeah Eric gets so excited about his products love that dude!
He a monster man, nice dude in person too, really cool.
I like that too hahahah
Ha! lol
I KNOW you saved that patch homie! Wheee! maaaaan SJ from 14;23 was insane. Emotion like Muhh!
I feel a purchase coming on LOL Clean out a spot for me in that basement! LOL ahah
Brotha you KNOW I saved it, you saw me do it in the vid lol. That patch aint going nowhere son, I got it! lol. Thing I like about Spectrasonics, they only have 3 products, so they are always working on them and improving, always adding even more patches, etc. Love em.
As you can see I didn’t make pass a certain point in vid where you saved it lol Stuck on the string part.
I knew you’d like that lol, soon as that arp came in on the strings man with them chords….I was like yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah lol.
NOOOO DOUBT!!!!!! Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiccckkkkkkk!!!!!
LOL you wild son lol
Can you please not do videos like this as my bank balance can’t take another hit LOL. That is one amazing vst.
Hahahahaha, sorry bro, just trying to help the MT fam. This was a specific request, we had a member who owns it but wasn’t familiar with how it worked, we just want to remove any limitations people have with their music/tools so they can make music. LOL….I feel you though, I’ve had this one for a while man, I remember Atmosphere before this, Spectrasonics is dope.
OK..I MUST have this. And yeah that preset at 14:23 is DOPE !! And you were wondering what to name it? Name it “MONEY PATCH” lol
Hahahahahahaha lol, you crazy fam lol.
Thanks so much Joe for doing this for me. Helped out. I’m ready to rock n roll.
Shout out to the master Saint Joe….What what….!!!!
No problem at all fam! Glad to help!
man i dusting off my omni now lol i had it for yearts never used it lol but you have wayyyy more arps than me lol dont know why
Make sure it’s up to date, they sometimes add new presets during the updates.
Ok homie I’m in your area now ha ha..should of known there is no way someone like you would not have OS. Didnt see it before in any of your tutorials. This is my favorite synth of all time I use it for mad stuff along with trilian. I will be all on your block now for all the geeky tips!!! I haven’t even made it past the presets of this thing!!
Hahahahah, Trilian and Omnisphere are staples in my toolbox man, I’m pretty sure I use Trilian on 8/10 tracks I do lol. Omnisphere is just a monster, really dope synth with all the classics and some new unheard of stuff. I need to get that Moog addition for more soundsources.
where can i get omnisphere from
You can buy it online or from any local music store like same ash, guitar center, etc.
sick stuff , i got my tutorial for trilian aswell watching this i just got it yday ,the interface is the same so i guess it work the same lol man crazy how u can customize your sounds basic sounds are already awesome , just for trilian i got the feeling a guy was playing with his bass guitar in my room when i checked them i see this synths are build with the same sound quality . can u make a combo with trilian bass sound with omni synth , like import the trilian librairies in omni for create… Read more »
if you own both omnisphere and trilian then you can import all the trilian patches/sounds into omnisphere, spectrasonics is dope lol
thats dope i’m gonna save hard to get this , there’s some pretty cool synth aswell in trilian , i love it no doubt they are not jokin with us lol
Yeah there is some dope synth bass/leads in trilian man, love it!
SJ, this was a wonderful tutorial bro! I have had Omnisphere for a few months now and honestly I like it more than the NI synths. I have ofter read you all discussing Omnisphere on the forum and finally gave it a listen when I was going to guitarcenter to trade in some gear. While the GC assistant was testing my gear and seeing what it was worth I got on Maschine and saw they had Omnisphere and Trillian installed and decided to see what the SJ hype was all about for this synth. Every sound I randomly pulled up… Read more »
Yes fam, Spectrasonics really sets the bar for sound quality in my opinion. Love trilian and omni man!
is trillian the same as omnisphere and is it worth the money? I have heard and read good things about stylus what you think?
Trilian is their bass instrument and it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for a go to bass library, has acoustic, synth, electric bass instruments. Omnisphere is more all around synth and instruments. I don’t mess with Stylus much, not my thing, but it’s cool if you like to mess with a lot of rex/drum loops and files, you can do some cool stuff with it.
Joe,
Awesome as always! Around 12:30, you start playing with filters to get that “synthy sound” as you say a few seconds later (here’s a screenshot of 12:30 – http://o7.no/nndjzX) …
It sounds like an envelope, in that the sound changes, but it doesn’t look like your messing with any filter modulations/envelopes, so I’m wondering why it sounds that way?? Thanks!!
It was the resonance on the filter I turned it up a little bit to get that “squelchy” sound in the instrument 🙂
Got it … But it sounded modulated to me, in that the sound changed over time … It wasn’t??
No but remember it’s a sustained sound so the resonance could effect the different parts of the sound as the sound itself changes overtime.
Acha! That must be what it is. Thanks (as always) Joe!
Any time bro!
Joe, I’m trying to figure this out in maschine 2.0, and I got one knob working but not the other. Here’s a 40 sec screen capture:

What’s this https://maschinetutorials.com/how-to-map-trilian-parameters-in-maschine/
And this: https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-2-0-how-to-map-custom-kontakt-parameters-to-the-knobs-on-your-controller/
Should lead you in the right direction
Sorry, not understanding on this one … I’m trying to map exactly as you show above (in this video) … I watched the kontakt video, but I don’t see the parallel between omnisphere and kontakt, bc omnisphere doesn’t have an automation section I can drag from … ?
update: I got it working but by doing this (in case you’re interested) 🙂
http://usetapes.com/v/O2bztqf5we
Yep, that’s how it works, that’s why I showed you the Kontakt one, not for the dragging but for the learn option 🙂
Hey Joe, I’m wondering if I can set a knob on my midi controller (not neccesarily maschine) that will change patches (one for up and one for down) in Omnisphere?
Annotated Screenshot: http://glui.me/?i=oesfc18pppbxkm4/2014-05-12_at_7.03_PM.png/
Yes, you can right click on them, and choose to learn midi cc or midi notes, depending on your controller. I don’t find they work that well with the knobs on my controller using midi cc, but if you have a button or couple of buttons it would be good. I’ve done it by mapping two of my midi pads to up/down via midi notes and it works well.
Awwwesome.
How do I get my Omnisphere software synth to show up in my maschine studio?
You have to go into your preferences under plugins and add the folder that the omnisphere plugin is located in to the list, then you can rescan and then you’ll be able to open it. https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-2-0-understanding-the-preferences-menu/
