Description
Overview
PULSAR is a powerhouse collection of over 100 professional patches designed specifically for Spectrasonics Omnisphere. Created by MIDIhead, this library focuses on rhythmic energy and driving movement, providing a massive array of BPM-locked sounds that breathe life into any production. By leveraging Omnisphere’s advanced Arpeggiators, LFOs, Envelopes, and Effects, PULSAR delivers a wide spectrum of sounds ranging from aggressive, hard-hitting textures to ethereal, atmospheric washes.
Designed to eliminate the need for separate pulsing virtual instruments, PULSAR utilizes Omnisphere’s DSP waveforms to create original, high-energy patches that transcend genre. Whether you are scoring for film or producing a club hit, these sounds provide the rhythmic foundation and sonic motion required for modern music production.
Key Details
- Extensive Sound Palette: Includes 121 custom patches featuring BPM-locked basses, synths, leads, pads, and FX.
- Dynamic Motion: Every sound is engineered with energetic pulsations using a sophisticated combination of LFOs, Arpeggiators, and Envelopes.
- Expressive Control: Deeply integrated with the modulation wheel and aftertouch, allowing for fast, real-time, sound-altering performance.
- DSP-Driven Synthesis: Nearly all sounds are generated using Omnisphere’s powerful DSP waveforms for clean, precise, and modern synthesis.
