Eric, the founder of Spectrasonics, tells the story how, when he worked as a sound designer for Roland in the '80's, he was sent to Europe to learn about a synth sound, called "Hoover", that was popular, so Roland could incorporate it into their synths. This was before the internet

. So, he gets to Europe, and meets with some musicians and asks them to demonstrate this mysterious Hoover sound that was all the rage. They looked at him strangely, brought out a Juno and played one of the patches that he designed! Roland had sent him out to research how to make a sound and it turns out to be a sound that he had created a couple of years earlier

. So, yeah, '80's and '90's sounds are very well represented in Omnisphere. Thanks for the kind words about the sound quality...there's a lot of my sweat in there.
