Ahead of SynthPlex 2019, Spectrasonics has released Omnisphere 2.6 – a significant update of their flagship software synthesizer.

With version 2.6, Spectrasonics has added major new enhancements to Omnisphere’s Arpeggiator and has dramatically expanded the Hardware Synth Integration feature, with full support for over 65 hardware synths. The update more than doubles the number of profiles and adds support for such iconic synths as the Roland Juno-106, Super Jupiter, Alesis Andromeda and the Roland D-50.

The v2.6 update also adds 600 new patches.
