After checking out your video, it helped me to decide on picking this one and unclean machine for my scoring and lofi projects. I have staylight from NI which I assumed to be similar to undercurrent, but undercurrent just has so many sounds that are not only textural but dreamy pads and ethereal and deep patches that are just way above other libraries.

So I just bought Nylon Sky and Undercurrent. I'm trying hard not to get too excited about these, but damn, they are awesome for my work. I like sonic patches that don't hog the mix. These fit the bill and to say they are beautiful would be an understatement. Eric Persig and company has knocked it out of the ballpark again. I can't imagine my music without Spectrasonics and now Sonic Extension. Eric if your reading this...thank you so much!!! Great video. Very well done and gives a great overview of Extensions. Thanks so much. Great work.

@@VultureCulture it’s the secret sauce that lets you create zones over the keyrange- you can load up 4 custom samples and have it cross fade like a 4 zone multi sample. Or use it to make patch level splits. Have a sound that aliases bad at the extremes- use bias to bring it down (or up) as you play across the specific keyrange. I have used it to layer 4 different rain sounds across a single patch- letting you create cool environments without hitting the multi section and stacking up multiple patches.

It cannot currently, although I suspect it might in the future. When asked Eric seemed imply it's only a limitation currently. However you can import any audio you want and process it that way. You could run drums or even an entire track through Omni's effects that way.
