I read that the full Omni2 install is around 50GB still, so likely the installers are just compressed.

The manual said 64GB is needed for the full installation. Still very reasonable for such a huge update.

Sure was a lot of excitement over purchasing and downloading here. And now nothing. Classic GAS.

No one can upgrade, their site is still down unfortunately.

I did the upgrade over the weekend (2.5 hour DL time). Installation was a bit tricky for me as I had run out of HD space on Spectrasonics default location (C:\ drive). Fingered out how to redirect but kind of a pain and, honestly, IMO using a Windows Shortcut to redirect is...um questionable.

So today I started working with it...can't say for certain but it seems to have introduced some latency issues as I'm getting some dropouts and general sound degradation. Goes away if I remove Omni from the project. Time will tell after I check into solutions for the latency issues.

OTH: I love Omnishpere

Hm, I dig Omnisphere but made a lot of plug-in purchases in the last month and even with ample warning didn’t feel I needed to add Omnishere 2 to that pile. I’ll get to it when I get to it. Plus I didn’t know what their track record was for day 1 releases, bugs and whatnot. I was impressed with what I saw of the new features, but I have enough to play with already.

I hear that. I've got more than enough also however I am doing selective upgrades and Omnisphere falls into that category. OTH: I've held off on the upgrade to Komplete 10 Ultimate even though I would like to work with some of the newer synths (Polyplex, Rounds and Molecular).

There is only so much space in my head to come to grips with all of this stuff.

On that one I’m waiting for the annual summer 50% Komplete upgrade sale which should happen in the next month or 2. That’s a no brainer.

I have Omni 2 running, was able to upgrade and download the day after release with zero problems..just lucky, I guess!

Anyway, the new features are great, the new presets (insofar as I can judge from what I've heard) not so great. So, I'm psyched to use the new wavetables / sample import / granular engine / enhanced browser, etc. I just probably won't be using the 3,000 new presets all that much, though maybe I'll find a corner of that messy room with some useful stuff lying around, dunno. the EDM bank is basically 100% unusable garbage, for my tastes. And everything in it is jacked to clipping, it's just absurd.

Also not into the Diego Whomever 'wacky' sounds, it's very heard-it-all-before kinds of stuff, "oh he's banging on a cello with a banana!" woo woo. Clanky-janky acoustic sample libraries have been around for years, yaaaaawn.

I'm waiting on that one myself.

Thanks. That is what I was thinking. I can be a big preset slut but there is such a thing as too many and the original Omnisphere already surpassed that. Sounds like the wacky sounds may be a bit like NI’s Kinetic Metal, neat little steam punk interface with a unique way of creating sounds, but musically useful? Not so much.

Their social media said, "7 DAYS - Looks like it's going to be an interesting week. "

I'm hoping for the new version of Stylus, but they gave a hint about something entirely new a while ago. Let's see!

"6 DAYS- It's not what you're expecting "

They’re probably just adding 7 more pages to their novel of exciting new scenarios where you can’t use their products legally.
