Luftrum – Vangelis for Omnisphere 3

Vangelis for Omnisphere is a heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest electronic composers of our time—a sound pack comprised of Vangelis-inspired synthesizer emulations and patches, crafted with deep respect and attention to detail.

Originally released in 2022, this pack has been meticulously remastered and updated for Omnisphere 3, featuring new effects, new patches, custom Velvet Verb presets, carefully curated Mutations, and rebalanced sound design.

The sound pack includes 135 presets—110 patches and 25 multi-presets—and comes in versions for Omnisphere 2 and 3.

Inspired by the timeless music of Vangelis, this collection charts his creative journey—from his early works, “L’Apocalypse des Animaux” and “Opera Sauvage,” to the Oscar-winning “Chariots of Fire” and the film “Antarctica” directed by Koreyyoshi Kurahara, as well as albums such as “The City,” “Voices,” “Direct,” and “Oceanic.” And, of course, it pays homage to his most iconic work: the timeless soundtrack to “Blade Runner.”

Few artists have had such a profound influence on Luftrum as Vangelis. His ability to compose melodies that feel like direct expressions of emotion is something Luftrum strives to capture in its own work. Each release carries a subtle echo of his spirit, and this collection is a humble, personal tribute to the legacy of a giant.

The emulations include the legendary CS-80 from the Blade Runner opening credits, the koto-like keyboards from “Theme from Antarctica,” the arpeggios from “Fields of Coral,” the synth horns from “Five Circles,” the fragile and delicate keyboards from “Little Girl of the Sea,” and the melancholic synth solo from Blade Runner—along with many other references and reimagined sounds.

But the set goes beyond emulation. It also includes original patches loosely inspired by his tone and spirit—expressive keyboards, evolving pads and strings, synth harps, rain and wind sound effects, synth leads, and basslines. Each is designed with the same emotional intent that defined Vangelis’s music—sounds we imagine Vangelis might have created and incorporated into his compositions. All presets are highly expressive and velocity sensitive, with the modulation wheel and aftertouch playing a significant role in the execution of most sounds.
