The "Altoids” is one of the more curious sampled synthesizers in Omnisphere, and is basically miniature synthesizer with two knobs hosted in an old Altoids mints candy tin box.
While the sound of the synthesizers itself is limited in scope, its tone and feel is wonderfully synthetic, which probably was the reason why Spectrasonics included it in their library, together with a few sonic variations using the Korg Kaoss Pad effect unit.

The sound design goal with the Mints soundset was to create a smaller library focusing on a specific part of Omnisphere, in this case the DIY Altoids Synthesizer. And due to its synthetic nature, we decided to pursue sounds of a synthetic nature. Apart from those two conceptual ideas - anything in the world of sounds was up for grabs.

As a way of celebrating our 10th entry in our hardware-centric series of soundsets for Omnisphere 2, we decided to shift our attention to one of the most curious synthesizers ever made: the Motor Synth.
Motor Synth is the first synthesizer by a small boutique company called Gamechanger Audio. Based in Latvia, Gamechanger Audio is mostly known for their plasma distortion guitar pedals. What makes the Motor Synth unique is that the sound engine isn't built on traditional oscillators, but rather a handful of small mechanical rotating motors, spinning in such a fast speed they go into the hearable audio range.

Lumos is an ambient orchestra of sounds based on nothing else but the sounds of lamps. From mellow 40 watt lightbulbs all the way up to illuminating 200 watt.

When Spectrasonics created the Psychoacoustic section of samples in Omnisphere they didn't hold back burning up a piano just to hear how that might sound, or the glassy sound of tungsten lightbulbs being hit with different intensities.
