Question: Q: Omnisphere install problem
I noticed another thread with this title, but the user had a different problem, so I figured my problem warranted a different thread.
I have installed Omnisphere three times, but the same thing keeps happening. After the install, I launch Logic and open an instance of Omnisphere. The very first patch I select shows the progress percentage reach 100%, then I get a popup error:
Cannot load SoundSource «blah, blah» from Directory Core Library. File «xxxx.zmap» may be missing or corrupted. Try refreshing the SoundSource Browser.
1. Anyone else have this problem and solve it?
2. How do I refresh the SoundSource Browser?

I has the same thing happen. Try clicking on the Spetrasonics logo on the Omnisphere UI and it will take you to a credits page. In the upper left hand corner, there should be a button to check for updates.
Once you have the latest updates, which fix some patch problems like you are having, you should be fine.
I can’t wait until they get the user manual finished.
It’s funny, I don’t think I’ll be able to audition all of the sound sources before the next update. There are so darn many sound sources it’ not even funny!

Yeah, that’s what I thought initially, but I already downloaded the updates. But either way, I gave your directions a try, and I got a message on the launched web page that said everything was up to date.
Was hoping to solve this before I have to call them on Monday. I hear they’ve been so busy and lots of folks aren’t getting return calls / emails, so I’m hoping that’s different. Wanted to use this stuff on a project, but it’s due Wednesday, so maybe not!

I am so glad you wrote this here. I’ve been searching everywhere for someone else that had the problem of Omnisphere (installed on an external hd) not showing up in a host program. I didn’t know what to do! My host program is Logic 8. I’m going to try this renaming of the folder, as Spectrasonics Instruments along with Repairing Permissions etc.. and see how far I can get!
Also, does anyone know if it’s safe for me to trash the Intel Atmosphere Host Wrapper left over on my internal drive?
Also, if anyone well versed at Spectrasonics software is in the San Francisco area, and interested in being paid to teach me over-all usage techniques with Spectrasonics RMX and Omnisphere, I’ll pay you for your time. Just send me a message through my profile here with how much you would charge per hour, or for a two hour session, etc.

I assume you’re referring to the previous poster, but my problem is not seeing Omnisphere in Logic Pro 8. The plugin shows up fine. I just get an error message on a bunch of the patches when I try to load them. There are only a few that load and play.
I contacted Spectrasonics, but their only suggestion so far didn’t resolve the issue.
I am starting to think the issue is related to installing directly to an 2nd drive. The problem is that I don’t have enough space on my primary drive. But I think this weekend I will try to clean enough space and install it directly to the boot drive to see if that makes a difference.
Kinda of frustrating because they say you can install to a 2nd drive. But I’m hoping I hear back from them soon with a resolution. I don’t hear back from them more than every other day, so I have to push them a little bit for a response.

I have the exact same problem and I installed the latest updates.
I too have second drive that I installed Omnisphere on. It shows up just says that certain patches are missing «VP333-OtcaVox Ensemble.zmap» mmay be missing or corrupt.
Any result moving it to your main drive?
Here’s what fixed it:
Make sure your sound data sizes match the ones in the image above.
In my case, my internal DVD drive is hoaky. Cheap DVD laser. I hooked up an external DVD drive, via firewire, and drug the files that don’t match the sizes in the image. In my case it was two: «Synthesizers 01.db» and «Retro 01.db» that wouldn’t copy using my internal DVD drive.
Here’s the source thread that addresses this:
H hope someone can help.
cannot open multi/user/nigelsmith/library/applicationsupport/spectrasonics/steam/defaults/d efault.mt_omn
ps: i’ve also downloaded the latest updates from spec.
anyone know what to do?

i have the same problem as you.
I also installed Omnisphere to an external HD and now get the message «Cannot open Multi /STEAM/Omnisphere/Defaults/default.mlt-omn».
I checked the HD and saw that all data is installed there, because the «Spectrasonics» Folder that was created in «Library/Application support/» showed a size of 42,14 gB.
I’ve also downloaded the latest updates from spectrasonics.
Anyone else knows, what to do?

this is how it worked for me:
Make an alias of STEAM on the external drive, move it to your desktop, rename it so it only says «STEAM» and then put it here
Macintosh HD/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics/
Omnisphere sounds great.

funnily enough just came onto discussion board to tell you that I’d done a reinstall and then basically what you’ve just described and it worked!
and yes doesn’t it just.
