Omnisphere question

[kaamosprod]

Hi everybody

If I need to have 10 differents synths sounds in a song production, do I have to open 10 times omnisphere (one omnisphere instance for each sound track) or is there a system to open just one time omnisphere and to attribuate differents sounds for each tracks.

I know that I can open 10 times omnisphere and freeze but it is time consuming and my Daw is having some bugs when I open too much omnisphere so i'm trying to find an alternative.

thanks for your answers.

I precise that I'm using Cubase 5 and that I bought both Cubase and Omnisphere obviously.

Use different MIDI tracks with different channels assigned to the one instance of Omnisphere

i would just do one synth at a time and print them

Depends if you want to use a single patch or a multi (stacking up many patches to the same sound).

you can use up to 8 different patches simultaneously per one omnisphere instance. open two instances in your DAW and you already got 16 different patches (midi track per each patch).

I do that, but I usually record keyboards on top of a mixdown, or without one. if you can't afford it (performance-wise) i suggest doing it like SentencedToBurn offered (printing tracks one-by-one).

Thanks a lot for your constructive answers.

I tried the mishbang technic, it works for me.

But the Sentencedtoburn's hint makes me interested... can you explain what is "printing tracks one-by-one" ??? does it mean to export the midi that you've just recorded in wave ??

Open a multichannel instance of Omnisphere and route your tracks to necessary channels?

I think that is what sentenced means indeed.. lots of work, you can easily put all seperate outputs of omnisphere to different midi tracks so you wont have to print and/or open multiple instances of omnisphere.

yea thats what i meant. not really time consuming and i found it helps me move on after i find the right synth sound or texture

Finally I will apply the two advices : first, I use one chanel for each sound and when I'm really satisfied with a sound, I export them in wave format and finally it is not so time consuming and very comfortable.

Thanks for your good advices !
