![]() I have Kronos right now and i am feeling left behind without Omnisphere. I would still miss Karma even if i spent the same on an Omnisphere centerd rig as i did on my Kronos. And you still end up having to buy a good keybed/controller to interface with and control Omnisphere. ![]() Or do you get a lot more for your money if you get a Laptop for half the cost of kronos and then get Omnisphere, a DAW for advanced sequencing and maybe software drum machine for patterns like Kronos drum track and Karma has.? Oh. Do you get a lot more for your money in Kronos at the cost of Kronos? Flexibility of hardware behind Omnisphere. Or you can decide to run it on lesser hardware that will still at minimum be more powerful than Kronos internal hardware. You can decide to run Omnisphere on a quad core i7 or i9 with 32gb RAM. Kronos PCU cannot stand up to the Omnisphere recommended hardware and system requirements. Omnisphere does at least 16 velocity layers if you want it to.Įven though it only has an 8 layer combi section compared to kronos 16 layer. ![]() Although, I would not give up my full 16 timbres just because the polyphony cannot keep up with them. The extra 8 are only good to have for advanced midi work and using Karma or making 16 velocity layer combis which are not really any more functional than 8 independent velocity layers. I virtually have only 8 functional timbres in Kronos even though 16 are available. Truth is that when you get to powerful sounds like what Omnisphere pushes, kronos would hardly hold up to 8 layers deep before polyphony issues stop the stack depth. Each layer holds a patch that can be 4 layers deep itself. Omnisphere has its version of Combi mode, but only 8 layers. Also the synth engines emulated by omnisphere are being topped by omnisphere with added features of parameters or control options. Omnisphere is now very well emulating far more synth engines than Kronos does and offers a more dynamic controller setup scheme. Kronos 9 synth engines are great and impressive among synths of any calibre, but the combined stack of what each kronos synth engine can do, seems to be exceeded by what Omnisphere can do. Omnisphere has taken sample based synths to a whole new level that Kronos can not keep up with in current form. Is fairly common but not available in Kronos. Just per patch, Omnisphere goes places Kronos does not. So they are going to overlap with commonalities in that sense. This one's been made by Mike Conway, a regular contributor to this forum, that gives some idea of the versatility of Kronos.Īnd another, more relevant to the original question:īoth different things that just so happen to strive to tap into the best of the synth world. Omnisphere doesn't have Karma, but it offers a much more straightforward graphical approach to effects and modulations so, arguably, better able to mangle/manipulate sounds, especially when coupled with the recent hardware integration in Omnisphere.

Omnisphere doesn't have Karma, but it offers a much more straightforward graphical approach to effects and modulations so, arguably, better able to mangle/manipulate sounds, especially when coupled with the recently introduced hardware integration in Omnisphere 2.5. Last edited by voip on Fri 5:36 pm edited 1 time in total Most of Omnisphere's complex sounds begin with already complex soundsources, acted upon by a variety of effects so, if Kronos had those same complex soundsources, it wouldn't take a huge stretch of imagination to assemble the necessary effects chains, LFOs and DMOD sources and come up with something largely similar, or would it? The sounds Omnisphere can make could largely also be made by the Kronos. It's like comparing apples and oranges, in many ways. Making beats is not a hobby it's a life style Does not me its not possible to use less with similar results. Just because a synth have more presets or LFOs etc. Can it create sounds not possible in the kronos. Posted: Fri 5:21 pm Post subject: Kronos vs omnisphere.
