The Unfinished has released Omnisphere Colossus, a collection of 600 patches (and 130 multis) for Spectrasonics' Omnisphere 2 synth aimed at cinematic underscore and Hollywood action music – though it could also be very useful for atmospheric electronica, ambient and neo-classical styles.
There are dynamic basslines, lo-fi drumloops, analogue and organic pads, emotional guitars, vivid synths, punchy basses, lyrical pianos, dramatic percussion, widescreen hits and impacts, expressive mallets and bells, ethereal textures and dark soundscapes.
Colossus has been carefully designed to deliver a useful collection of synths, instruments, loops and textures for modern composing, heavily inspired by the work of Harry Gregson-Williams and James Newton Howard. Scores such as Deja Vu, Gone Baby Gone, Phone Booth, Total Recall, Bourne Legacy, Michael Clayton, The Equalizer and Salt have been major influences on this soundset.
As well as 600 patches, Colossus also includes 130 multis, combining and stacking various patches for instant inspiration. Each patch comes with careful programming on the modwheel, to allow quick and dynamic sound design.
Price: £79.99 + VAT. Requires Omnisphere 2.
