Double-click the 'Patches' folder. From your desktop, double-click your downloaded folder to open it into a second window. Place the two windows next to each other so you can see both windows - your 'Patches' folder and your new content folder. Since Omnisphere is a completely new instrument, it's not possible to open custom saved Atmosphere patches in Omnisphere. However, you will be able to recreate your custom patches with much more choice and flexibility, and also trade and share patches with other users! Omnisphere 2 is slow as heck So I just got omnisphere 2 and it is super slow. It takes 30 seconds to load the plugins and 5 seconds to load each sound so browsing for sounds is hell. My PC can definitely run it since it is an i7 7700HQ, 16 GB RAM 256 GB SSD.

SALES, UPGRADES, DELIVERY:

Where can I purchase Keyscape?
Keyscape will be available for purchase on September 12th, with Download sales available in our Webstore and Physical sales (boxed with USB drives) handled exclusively through our Authorized Resellers.

Is there a DEMO version of Keyscape I can try?

If I buy the Boxed version of Keyscape, will I also be able to get a download in the future? If I buy the Download Edition, will I also be able to get the drives?
Yes to both! There are alternative forms of installation available to registered users - no matter which edition you originally purchased.
Spectrasonics is keenly aware that there are numerous scenarios when the convenience of downloading or the speed of USB drives would be a preferred form of installation for different types of users. To address all the various user needs and scenarios, Spectrasonics has a Support Services area that offers Alternative Installation USB Drives and Additional Download Installations. These services are available for purchase in our Webstore for registered users.

Is the “Lite” install sold separately?

Is there a student discount price for Keyscape?
Spectrasonics doesn't offer student discounts, however qualifying schools and institutions can participate in our EDU program.

Does Spectrasonics allow for used sales/license transfers of Keyscape?

How many sounds does Keyscape come with?
Keyscape comes with over 500 sounds!

Will it work with my controller keyboard?
Yes! The highly dynamic and expressive instruments in Keyscape have been recorded with incredible depth, so it is important to set Keyscape to respond properly to your keyboard controller. We included a variety of velocity curves optimized specifically for the most popular keyboard and controllers.

I notice the controls in the interface change when I change Patches. Why is that?
Different sounds benefit from different controls (Pickup selection for Clavinets®, Character controls for pianos, Tremolo for electric pianos, etc.) so they are specially crafted for each Patch. The Custom Controls give you the ability to extensively tailor these sounds to your music.

Can I alter the sound beyond what the controls for each patch can do?
Yes. If you want to modify a sound beyond what the Custom Controls allow, you can do it by loading it within Omnisphere 2.

I really like the Duo Patches where you’ve combined two instruments. Is there a way I can I create my own Duos?
You can create your own layered “Duos” when you load Keyscape sounds inside Omnisphere 2. While you’re there you can further modify the sounds using the full power of the STEAM engine and even combine Keyscape and Omnisphere sounds.

I want to assign my Mod Wheel to control a parameter in the interface. How can I do that?
You can right-click on the control and MIDI Learn it to your Mod Wheel.

I’d like to use a foot controller to control the Wah in the Patches that have it. Is that possible?
Yes! All Patches that use Wah/Envelope Filters are programmed to be controlled from the Mod Wheel and Foot Controller.

Which sounds are included in the “Lite” Installation?
The 'Lite' installation includes a small collection of models that uses only 30 GB of drive space – perfect for live rigs. You will find sounds created using the following:
Hohner Clavinet C
JD-800 Crystal Rhodes
LA Custom C7
MK-80 Digital Rhodes
MKS-20 Digital Piano
Rhodes - Classic Mark I
Rhodes - LA Custom “E”
Wurlitzer 140B

CONCEPTS:

Is Keyscape a stand-alone app or a plugin?
Keyscape includes a standalone application and VST/AU/AAX plug-in platforms that work in all the major DAWs and hosts.

Does Keyscape use lossless audio compression technology?
Yes. The size the full Keyscape library uses in your drive (77 GB) is actually compressed using lossless audio compression. Uncompressed, the library is over 200 GB! So when we say the library is “huge,” we really mean it!

Do I need to have Omnisphere to use it?
No, Keyscape is its own instrument, and a very powerful one! Having said that, loading Keyscape sounds in Omnisphere will allow you to further modify them using Omnisphere’s
