Being multi-timbal (you can layer multiple sounds) is a huge plus for Omni though - overall it is the more capable instrument, if you are willing to spend enough time to learn and live with that user experience. Pigments has a far better UI, I really enjoy working with it, not so much with Omnisphere. Imho it's a different story if you want to do sound design.
When you buy Pigments, you only get access to the factory presets without loading additional packs from the integrated store or their website (there are already a lot of free and paid packs available with new ones being released from time to time). going through a browser with +10k presets while searching for a specific sound is like finding a needle in a haystack - it will take a lot of time, rating your favs, etc.
But in my personal opinion that is not necessarily a benefit - there is a lot of really good stuff hidden in a ton of mediocre and even shitty/outdated presets. If you mainly want to use existing presets instead of doing your own sound design, Omnisphere might be a better choice - one of the reasons it's so expensive is, that Spectrasonic bundled all over the years released preset packs with the synth (contains a lot of sampled stuff too).
Which one will be better suited for you depends quite a bit on what you a re looking for. Doing a proper comparison of Pigments and Omnisphere would take a lot of time to write, so I'll only scratch on the surface.īoth are really capable synths.
