He has produced a diverse roster of performing artists and licensed songs and instrumental music extensively in TV and film. Synthesizers quickly became one of Jonathan Merrill’s many objects of fascination when, as a young boy, his father showed him the portamento feature on his giant Moog modular! While still a composition student at USC, this preoccupation landed him the job as sound designer for Garry Trudeau’s satirical musical, “Rapmaster Ronnie,” and eventually led him to join the sound design team at Spectrasonics.Īlongside his work with synthesizers, Jonathan has composed the music for scores of commercials, including Mercedes, Budweiser, and Disney, as well as music for TV, film, and new media. You’ll learn lots of practical, quick, and simple methods for getting under the hood-making you more of a power user and speeding up your workflow. In addition to covering Omnisphere’s basic concepts and straightforward ways to approach the interface, they’ll explain simple patch modification techniques which allow you to easily create unique sounds for your projects. In this seminar, Spectrasonics sound designers Jonathan Merrill and Ignacio Longo will teach you to discover, dissect, and diagnose the elements of any Omnisphere sound and how to quickly customize it to fit your music.

Featuring over 12,000 sounds and an extremely flexible synthesis engine, Omnisphere has long been a formidable weapon in the media composer’s arsenal. Omnisphere, Spectrasonics’ flagship synthesizer, is known as one of the most powerful and best-sounding virtual instruments on the market.
