This week brought Spectrasonics’ announcement of their Bob Moog Foundation contest – the grand prize for which is the OMG-1, a custom built one-of-a-kind instrument designed by the company’s Founder Eric Persing. To enter the contest, Omnisphere users need to purchase and download the Bob Moog Tribute Library and create a track which utilises some of the sounds. The sounds within the library have been created by 40 different composers and sound designers including Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and Jordan Ruddess.
Another contributor to the pack is the lesser known (unless you’re a frequent visitor to the vi-control forums), Daniel James. One of the founding members of Hybrid Two, a sound and music production team whose main focus is the film and game industry, Daniel is also responsible for creating some great You Tube videos that focus on music production.
Daniel’s videos are so informative that we’ve used some of them within our own product pages and when we heard that he’d been involved with the Bob Moog Tribute Library we thought it was about time that we had a proper chat with him to find out more… 
It’s that time of year again when the world’s leading pro-audio companies get together in Los Angeles to unveil their endeavors to a global audience, NAMM 2011 is here. Spectrasonics have a habit of keeping something special up their sleeves to present at NAMM, in 2010 they gave us 64-bit support for their entire range and the ‘Omni Live’ iPhone app. Well this year they have not disappointed…
