  • As you’d expect, the Omnisphere 2 upgrade is available from Spectrasonics’ own web store, necessitating a 20GB download for the new Soundsource content included with the instrument. The install merges and replaces with your existing Omnisphere, updating the STEAM folder and upgrading the instrument plug-in to version 2.
