Plughugger – Element 27 for OmnisphereElement 27 is the 11th entry in our hardware-centric series of soundsets for Omnisphere, where we focus on one synthesizer, record the most important aspects of it, and recreate its characteristics in Omnisphere.

Element 27 is a hybrid collection of analog and digital sounds, based on the Cobalt synthesizer by Modal Electronics.

The Cobalt is an 8-voice virtual analog synthesizer with a very interesting oscillator section with oscillators (called algorithms in Modal-speak) going from traditional subtractive waveforms to experimental fractal(!) waveforms.

As a fun little bonus, we added a handful of highly processed speech synthesizer words and phrases.

BONUS SOUNDSET: Element of Sin

To fully embrace the dual nature of the Cobalt synthesizer, we also refocused on our favourite sounds and remade them using a Moog Modular sine wave from the internal synth engine. The result is an alternative soundset based on mellowness and basic tones.
