WHAT YOU GET:
88 (and growing) Omnisphere 2 patches.
Included in this Omnisphere 2 bank, are some of the most iconic sounds used in all the Zelda videogames. From Ocarina of Time, to Majora´s Mask, Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, Link´s Awakening, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and several others.
This is a really special bank. I'm sure Zelda fans, who have spent their lives looking for the sounds used in some of their favourite Zelda games will be delighted.
You will instantly recognize some of the sounds, but i´ve made things easier for you and renamed the patches according to the type of sound/instrument, the Zelda games they appear in, as well as the specific places in the game that they were used. This will make it alot easier to find the patches you want. Aditionally, i also added custom tags/attributes to those patches, so you don't have to spend time doing it yourself, which is very tedious. Anytime you open Omnisphere 2 and want to use the tag/attribute system to find a patch, you just have to pick the "genre" tag, and search for "Zelda", "Zelda Videogame Sounds", "Videogame Zelda", and they will show up.
A lot of research went into finding these sounds, and it wasn't a one man job. A special thanks (and credit) goes to the whole online community of composers and Zelda soundtrack lovers, who have found some of the Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 patches used in the games. Without their passion and dedication to help others, it wouldn't have been possible to create this soundbank.
If you are curious about what other synths/vst´s/libraries were used in all of the Zelda games (and many others), and/or want to help other people know about which sounds were used in some of the most famous videogames, search for "Newer VGM Sound Sources" and you will find a spreadsheet created by the community. You can contribute to the constant expansion of that spreadsheet and include your findings.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
There might be some duplicate patches in this bank. That happens for 3 reasons:
- The same patches appear in different games, so i saved them with each games´s name and other information.
- In my search for Zelda sounds, i completely forgot i saved some of the patches twice.
- I saved them twice on purpose, so i could give them different names/categories. So deal with it =)
Some patches were used by the composers as they are, meaning, by pressing a single key or two, and without editing/altering the core aspects of the sound. Others, were altered a little bit, in terms of tempo, pitch, arpeggio settings, as well as many other parameters. But if you know your Zelda music/sounds, you will still recognize them when you hear them.
DISCLAIMER:
- Prior to posting this soundbank, i asked permission to Spectrasonics themselves, who then gave me the green light to do so.
- You can read the Terms and Conditions PDF included in this download. I placed it there at their advice, so you can read it and clarify any doubts you might have on what you can do with the patches/sounds included in this soundbank.
