Anyone have Omnisphere?

The samples I've heard, in the genre of my styles, are making me want this VI, but, I don't have a source to hear the demo in person. I've looked at the youtube clips, and some of that is great, but at it's price, I really need more input on it's capabilities.

A good part of it's use would be for new age'y, moody, spacey, meditative, serene, lush and phenomenally rich color. Another use would be for more easy listening rhythmic guitar, drums, vocals and keys stuff.

Anyway...I can't tell if it's worth sinking this much into one VI. Not being able to demo it, I can't tell it's true potential. Also wondering if there are any drum patches included.
thanks

Buy it... it's really fat and very analogue sounding !

Best synth! I own it. It's killer and well worth it!!!

I wish I could get it. I have to say that I love Stylus RMX. The Spectrasonics stuff is really top notch!

I have it and it's awesome, but beware... it's a time sucker. You can spend days, weeks, months, just going through all the patches and learning how to tweak them. Whenever I attempt to do this, I wind up spending hours just playing the patches and coming up with new ideas for songs. Lots of great sounds and a good arpeggiator too. When it becomes capable of adding custom samples, then it will become god-like.

Thanks....it sounds like unlimited potential for inspiring sounds. Is it capable of multi timbral operation, as in setting up multiple patches to respond to different MIDI channels and all being accessed simultaneously from a DP sequence?

Yes, indeed!
