- Omnisphere 2.6 includes a stunning new “Hardware Library” with over 1,600 new patches created by Eric Persing and the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development team. Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere controller.
Apr 05, 2013 2ND UPDATE: Email me at '[email protected]' if you need me to install Omnisphere 2 or 1 FOR YOU over the net through Teamviewer (WINDOWS/PC users only). In general, it's not easy for users to keep track of their VST2 plug-ins, which is why VST plug-ins installations often are all over the place even on well-maintained Windows systems. To prevent a plug-in mess, it is recommended to decide on a single installation folder for all VST2 plug-ins and stick with it as far as possible.

The data files for Omnisphere are stored in your STEAM folder. When you update your patches or soundsources, you are updating files in your STEAM folder, which was created when you originally installed Omnisphere. Your STEAM folder is located inside your Spectrasonics folder. See the instructions below to find your Spectrasonics folder. Inside your Spectrasonics folder you'll find STEAM, which may be the STEAM folder, or it may be an alias (Mac) or Shortcut (Window) to the STEAM folder.
On Mac, the Spectrasonics folder is located here:
Macintosh HD/Users/<Your Username>/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics
From Mac OS X 10.7 and higher, Apple have made the User - Library folder a hidden folder by default. This is to stop general Mac users fiddling with settings, however, music makers will require using this folder from time to time.
Please see the handy article below on how to unhide your User Library folder in Mac OS X 10.7 or higher

Storing sound files on a secondary drive
If you are wanting to store your Omnisphere audio files on a second hard drive, you can put the Spectrasonics/STEAM folder onto your second drive. You will then need to create an alias or 'short cut' to this location on your main Mac or Windows drive. You can create an alias (Mac) or a short cut (Windows) by right-clicking (ctrl+click for Mac users) the STEAM folder and selecting it from the menu.
Once you have done this, you will then need to either locate or create the following folder on your main drive:
On Mac, the Spectrasonics folder needs to be created here:
Macintosh HD/Users/<Your Username>/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, the Spectrasonics folder needs to be located here:
C:ProgramDataSpectrasonics
On Windows XP, the Spectrasonics folder needs to be created here:
C:Documents And SettingsAll UsersApplication DataSpectrasonics
C:Documents And SettingsAll UsersApplication DataSpectrasonics
You will then need to move the STEAM alias folder (or the STEAM short cut folder) into the Spectrasonics folder on your main drive.
Note: On Mac, once you have placed the 'STEAM alias' folder on your main drive, you will need to rename it removing the word alias from the file, otherwise it will not work. You should now have a 'STEAM' folder on your main drive that is pointing to its actual location on your second drive.
Now when you close and re-launch your host application, Omnisphere should be pulling the audio files from off of the second hard drive.
When I first started installing Omnishpere on my computer, the installation 'Wizard' told me Omnisphere would go into a newly created 'Steinberg' folder, unless I selected another. Having assigned VST's to FL Studio before, I knew I wanted to put in instead in.... Now when you close and re-launch your host application, Omnisphere should be pulling the audio files from off of the second hard drive.

Unable To Access Plugin Folder Omnisphere 2
Ha ha!!! NO! The installation selection did not allow me to crack open the Plugins folder. Dead end.
'Alright' I thought, 'I'll just install it in the Steinberg folder it seems to be fixated on, then go in and cut/paste it into the VST folder later. WRONG AGAIN!!!
After cutting it I moved to the VST folder and selected past. It then told me I was not allowed to do this because it was a DLL file.

So now I thought. 'Well that's okay, I'll just go into FL Studio to Options>File Settings and click on an empty folder, find the Steinberg file and go into it and assign Omnisphere to that slot.Omnisphere 2 Unable To Access Plugin Folder File
WRONG ONCE MORE!!! Again it wont let me crack open the Steinberg folder to get to Omnisphere and assign it.
