Ballad Keys - Omnisphere 2
Ballad Keys for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 is a free soundbank that contains 24 key presets based in emotional piano soundsource. They fit for ballad music productions as well as deep house and cinematic based styles.
 
The sonic atmosphere, the calm character and some richness in harmonics (in a nice or even in a dissonant way – like the Ballad Key 17 patch) are the main defining elements for most of the presets in this soundbank.
 
In some presets the low pass filter that is being used cuts a significant amount of high frequency stuff. If you need to play on higher registers of the keyboard and the presence bright sound elements are wanted, you could disable the filter for total introduction of those frequencies or adjust the key follower of the filter to higher values for more subtle restoration of the highs.
 
MW adds vibrato – most of the times this vibrato is very subtle
 
Patches were created with Omnisphere 2.8 and run best with this or newer edition
  • Software 2.8.4d
  • Soundsources v2.6.1c
  • Patches v2.8.1c

Please Note

Try to keep optimal levels of your synth tracks to avoid digital clipping from the synth’s output for the best sounding results and to avoid any potential equipment damage. While designing the sounds we try to keep at a good level but as the final level is a result of many different factors e.g., how many keys are pressed and with how much velocity always try to avoid digital clipping.

Using a limiter to ensure that no digital clipping occurs is recommended to keep equipment safe.
