not yet, but I'm really excited to see those type of "Heart of Asia" library in the soundsources. It's a dream come true for me!

I’m not surprised there are site issues. Their site is pretty convoluted and it’s not like a site you would login to frequently with the 1 product they release every 2 years or so. The fact that their printed instruction manual is actually like 30 pages on how you can’t legally use their software shows how they are more concerned about piracy than anything else.

Considering Omnisphere 1 is around 50GB you should be grateful they somehow shed a lot of weight with 2.

Unless they go the Apple route and when you fire it up for the first time its going to download and install another 40GB of content.

omg lol

Everyone must be trying to authorize at once cuz the Spectrasonics site is down atm...

lol!

That's brilliant! Hopefully it's will stay on that size. In the old days, Roland is known for being able to put many great sounds in a very limited memory space. So, it's very possible.

I'm not a tech but I had assumed that the 20gigs were being added to the current 50 seeing how I am simply getting the update from Omni 1.

Due to extremely high demand for Omnisphere 2 Upgrades, we are significantly expanding our bandwidth before reopening.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience due to our technical issues. Please check back again next week.

Next week!!! Surely you might anticipate some bandwidth requirements ahead of the release??!!!

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

May be they should work together with Ilio, which supposed to have a better server. Anyway, it's their first time.
