Never trust the living
Looking for a synth drum library that has studio quality and pre-made presets that don't require any kind of real adjusting, basically an Omnisphere for drums. Does such a thing exist?
There is exactly an Omnisphere equivalent, it's called Stylus.

I have Geist and it gives me a headache as well.I did take a look a Geist a while ago, but it gave me a headache.

Thank you for the reminder I just updated my VI-C abbreviation list here:(what exactly does the GAS TLA mean, anyway? - gear aquisition syndrome?)
I'm sure I haven't either, but I have certainly exhausted the ones I like and get directed to the most. There are probably gems in there that I have never found just because of the way the patch browser works with the way my brain works. But how many of those 10,000 patches are HZ guitars, or Symphony of Voices, or other old libraries... Bizarre Guitars, Distorted Reality, etc. I actually use all those sounds but I prefer to keep them separate from Omni or they get lost. I had about 80 third-party libraries for Omni so what is that, maybe 16,000 patches if they average 200 each? Maybe less I dunno. Anyway I tend to use them significantly more than the stock ones solely because I hear the stock sounds all over the place!A bit off topic, but I sure haven't exhausted the Omnisphere core library, Chilli. 10,000 patches or so now isn't it? Tons of gold in there. I do have about 5,000 third party patches too, but organisationally that's become an increasing chore.

What baffles me besides the fact that there's really no drum equivalent to Omni is potentially the seismic hit Spectrasonics would have on their hands if they ever updated Stylus to a version 2 Omni equivalent.
I keep thinking @ Spectrasonics and Eric Persing WTF is taking so long and what are they thinking?!?!
Leaving this huge void multitudes of users have been clamoring for over several years.
Spectrasonics would own the VI world if they ever give Stylus 2 the Omni2 type update it truly deserves...........
I think that you and I could take any thread off topic. So is it a Stylus wish list now? Because here's what I want and I'm not even sure how to ask for it. But let's say I have a drum kit groove with elements separated out and I want kick on 1, snare on 2, hat on 3, etc etc. This happens so often and how long does that take to have to browse to that same user library folder on every channel. I guess what you're saying about searching for them properly would make it easier. Or some sort of "copy and paste" between channels. Or, load a multi? OK I guess fooling around with it, you could add every element to favorites and then jump over and add them to different channels, but it's not ideal.With each passing year my expectations rise accordingly.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Alright so it seems that the yes and no answer is Stylus. I'll definitely take a look into that.
With that said, what about 3rd party plugins? Any recommendations? Again, i need something that's a time saver. I just don't have the time to custom make drums like fm8, or anything like that.
The other requirement that I failed to mention is that it can't be a loop library.
Thanks guys!
