Nuno: he's right. You could just start with a sinewave and create something from scratch.
Otoh, I never use Omnisphere for "clear" sounds (like you mentioned: strings) but for the "weirdness" and for "ambience" that you feel rather than clearly hear. Then again: I don't think I've created synth sounds in the past 2 years that aren't heavily layered, so what sounds like 1 bass is really 5 basses divided into different frequency-areas.
I agree.
Omnishpere, at least for me, is great for it's pads, and wierd ambience sounds. I would hardly call them weak at all, but they do need processing and manipulation.
Nexus I love a lot, but i do find I end up doing more to make it work in a most tracks. but I would agree, that out of the box Nexus has amazing sounds.
