Dystopian Rains for Omnisphere 2 - Unify Enhanced
Dystopian Rains is a deeply expressive and rain-centric sound design collection for Omnisphere 2, recorded in pristine 24-bit / 96kHz across the prairies, mountains, and coastal regions of Canada. Featuring over 40 immersive soundsources—including delicate drizzles, torrential downpours, urban rainfall, distant thunder, and imaginative textures processed with Zynaptiq Wormhole—this collection captures the emotive power of rain in all its forms. These organic recordings are intricately layered to create lush, cinematic environments ideal for ambient, experimental, and film music production.
Conceived during the global pandemic, Dystopian Rains is a sonic reflection of isolation and renewal—balancing bleakness with beauty. In addition to natural field recordings, the collection includes playable textures, expressive pads, and innovative percussive elements derived from Omnisphere 2’s factory phrases. These sounds come together to form the unique "New Earth" instruments, expanding your palette with emotionally resonant tools for modern composition.
Advanced programming techniques enable patches to fluidly morph between four custom samples, evolving dynamically as you play. A gentle drizzle can seamlessly intensify into a full storm, while atmospheric textures blend effortlessly into evolving ambient layers—delivering an unmatched depth of expression.
Dystopian Rains also includes a comprehensive set of Multis, categorized into:
- Scenes – for instant thematic inspiration
- Layers – for building rich, evolving textures
- Ambience – for underscore, soundscapes, and design-driven production
Now fully Unify-enhanced, the collection features an additional 52 Unify-exclusive patches, offering even greater versatility and performance flexibility.
