Omnisphere Symmetry

Reminiscent the delicate character of Sigur Rós and Jeremy Soule’s Elder Scrolls scores. Main use in composition for media (film/TV/trailers/games), or ambient and post-rock. Symmetry includes also driving sounds (impacts and a riser) perfect for trailer score.

Omnisphere Kinejo

Omnisphere Kinejo contains 150 “hybrid” cinematic patches and 56 new custom unique sounding sound sources. Kinejo is stimulated by an amazing selection of the modern scores & records and fascinating sonic experiments plus new ideas while creating and shaping the sound sources. Patches are made with cinematic music in mind, but they’re also very suitable for electronic, ambient and New Age. Kinejo using Omnisphere’s unique granular innovations to produce extra elaborate sonic feelings and textures.

Kinejo includes

  • 50 Atmospheres (25 Pads & 25 Textures)
  • 50 Playable Instruments (20 Synth Leads, 15 Synth Basses, 15 Instruments)

  • 32 Basslines
  • 32 Sequences

Omnisphere Tajdo

Tajdo includes 120 hybrid cinematic pads, textures and atmospheres patches. Omnisphere Tajdo includes 50 novel sound sources. Those sound sources were created using a rare Korg synthesizer, Roland classic and several acoustic and electric instruments (guitars, piano, viola). Pads and textures are an essential part of any modern cinematic track. Tajdo atmosphere glues extremely well a track. It spans over a wide range of vibes. You can add analog, emotional, mysterious, ruthless, organic, shimmering, gorgeous and suggestive sparkle to your track.

Tajdo includes
  • 56 Pads (dark, light, organic, analog, granular – according to the developer granular patches can be quite CPU-heavy if many voices are used. Reducing the number of voices will instantly result in less CPU usage.
  • 64 Textures (playable textures, atmospheric textures, textural leads)

Omnisphere Kubo

MIDIssonance produced Kubo in collaboration with BAFTA, and Ivor Novello called composer David Housden. The central characters for this sound set were Solar Fields’ ridiculous Mirror’s Edge score and music of post-rock giants like Sigur Rós and Hammock. Cliff Martinez’s work on Solaris and Drive was also one of the main influences in the creation of this palette of custom sounds that David used on his Q.U.B.E. 2 score. All those influences appeared in a collection of individual sounds with a pure nature with loads of acoustic sound sources processed in an assortment of ways – some more traditional sounding and some mangled and transported to another sonic world.

Kubo includes
  • 42 Arps, basslines & sequences
  • 5 Hybrid organic instruments
  • 7 Pianos & keyboards
  • 21 Pads
  • 12 Synth basses & bass drones
  • 11 Synth Leads
  • 28 Textures
  • 2 Guitars

The Bundle

MIDIssonance’s Omnisphere Bundle is an excellent, high-quality sound collection. You receive a large collection of contemporary cinematic sounds covering a wide range of possible uses when you score for Ads, game, TV, and Film. The sounds blend within a track or can be used on their own. Overall loads of usable material, the bundle is one of greatest Omnisphere 2 sound sets I did use in 2019. Many patches are so unique that you can not find anywhere else.

MIDIssonance’s Omnisphere Bundle is an excellent way to keep Omnisphere patches modern and you in the game offering new sonic ideas and inspire you for more. I shy away from discussion price points normally. With MIDIssonance’s Omnisphere Bundle you get from is an astounding return on investment when you are able to commercially use the patches in one or more projects.

Range-based random functions are also available as inspiration or smart kickoff for your search for the perfect pattern. HEXO loves to go polyrhythmic, polymetric, or both. It also likes catchy 4/4 stuff, of course!


According to the selected main mode, ARP or RIFF, you can set intervals or notes for each track, and thanks to the live input function, you can set these values by holding up to six notes on your MIDI keyboard; you can change the harmony on the fly, while the pattern is running.
