Excerpt from:

I purchased the Omnisphere upgrade within the first few days of its availability. Yet I had not installed it thinking I was going to go with a new Mac Pro, and my G5 did not meet the stated requirements of a 2.0 ghz processor. Then the recession hit and the new Mac Pro is probably going to have to wait. But I was just dying to run Omnisphere. Tonight I tried it after adding a new 1TB Firewire800 external drive. The installation was painless. Omnisphere is installed and working on my G5 1.8Ghz and its working well enough to use. Just a little heavier than Atmosphere.
 
So far, high marks. Omnisphere goes much deeper than Atmosphere. Perhaps the main thing of note is that it has many more sounds and is 8 part multi-timbral per instance. Much like a hardware synth, you can decide to build a multi with 8 parts on 8 different midi channels or 8 parts all on 1 channel for a monster performance preset. You could not do this in Atmosphere, and it instantly gives you access to new ways of working with these sounds that can improve your music.
