It manages to emulate the specific D/A converters of high-end rack units from the 90s. This gives it a "baked-in" professional sheen that modern, hyper-clean VSTs sometimes lack.
The "Exclusive" tag often refers to specific, curated versions of the Orpheus 2 library that were tweaked by community members to fix bugs in the original release—such as looping errors in the woodwind samples or velocity layers in the piano patches.
Standard sample-based instruments (like SF2 players) simply trigger a recording. Omnisphere 2 revolutionized this by allowing the software to "play" the hardware. Through a proprietary handshake, Omnisphere acts as a librarian and controller for over 30 pieces of hardware synths—including the Roland Juno-106, Korg Minilogue, and Moog Sub Phatty.
