Omnisphere Expansion Pack: Immersion – Cinematic Preset Pack

The bulk of Immersion is made up of 44 pads and strings, which form the harmonic bed of the pack. Plugin Boutique Presets says the lighter patches are dreamy, while the darker ones are meant to set a moody tone.

The pack also includes 8 texture soundscapes and 12 noisescapes. These are useful for building atmosphere under chords or melodies, and for adding movement to a arrangement. Because the developer describes the timbres as shifting while notes are held, the sounds suit slow-developing parts where the sound changes over the length of a note.

Sound designers working on film scores, ambient tracks and electronic production will find the pack's emphasis on space and mood the most relevant.

Immersion is sold as a Cinematic Electronica collection, which points to its intended use: scoring, underscoring and electronic tracks that need a sense of scale. The 64 presets give a broad starting point across the pad, string, noise and texture categories.

Because the pack is a set of presets rather than a standalone instrument, it depends on Omnisphere for playback and editing. Users who already own Omnisphere can load the presets directly into the synth and adjust them from there.
