Omnisphere 2 Reference Guide
After an intensive couple months of research and investigation, I finally decided to shell out $500 for Omnisphere. Luckily for me (it would seem) I decided to strike while the iron was hot, for Spectrasonics just released its sequel, Omnisphere 2. I just finished installing the software, whereupon I realized that all the corresponding tutorial videos I'd downloaded--er, legally bough with my own hard-earned money, I mean *cough cough*--are of course for Omnisphere 1.
I'm trying to get through it but the interfaces are quite different, and it's frustrating having to pause every fifteen seconds to locate the function (from the newer software) that the narrator is referring to. So..how long does it generally take for a solid 3rd-party walkthrough to become available? I believe this thing has been out for about a month, but I assumed the Spectrasonics website would provide some insight (it has not, as all the 'free tutorial vids' they boast are for Omnisphere 1 only, i.e. no use to a novice, i.e. your's truly).
I'll continue plowing through my pre-existing set of tutorials but to be honest I was really hoping (given the considerable expenses I've invested) that a comprehensive user's guide would be available as well. I'm not too keen on the inner workings of the synth and was hoping that this could be a jumping-off point (w/r/t my audio-tech education) to explore similar VSTs in turn.
Any suggestions that could help speed my education process along so I can start really playing with this thing? Thanks.

Sep 12, 2018 With Omnisphere 2.5 we create a chord sound by using the granular mode, which I think is a neat trick that also works with the synth waveforms. =) We create a sub bass and a melody and some other.
