Re: Installing Third Party Patches in Omnisphere 2015/11/30 22:55:46 (permalink) Here is a description from the guru's installation notes for MegaMagicDreams for Omnisphere2.BTW, you NEED to be running O2 version 2.1 or later, released late in July. If you haven't updated, you need to. Recently purchased omnisphere 2.5 (Mac), everything is working properly except only like 15 of my 100+ 3rd party banks are showing up. Before downloading 2.5, they all worked fine. After downloading the new version I put my banks into LibraryApplication SupportSpectrasonicssteamomnispheresettings librarypatches just like before. This being said you can then set your own maps and effects with your 3rd party plugins and pretty much make your own effect plugins. I made my own distortion plugin that effects specific frequencies rather than the whole sound. Example would be is I would take an 808 and only distort the 500hz area and it would give it a cool sound.

Mar 07, 2013  Originally the thread was called '3rd Party Omnisphere Libraries'. Update March 7 2013 - warning to readers of this thread! Over the course of the discussion, it came to light that 3rd party libraries use different methods of installing their products. Some of these were approved by Spectrasonics, and some weren't. This FREE expansion pack includes: ARP Presets, Bass Presets, Pad Presets, Lead Presets, Pluck Presets, & More for Electra 2 vst. Free Tone2 ElectraX Preset Bank 'Taste of Greatness' (45 Presets) MENU. If the number of third-party patch libraries exceeds this number, Omnisphere's search function will be impaired. To workaround this limitation, simply move the third-party patch library folders into the 'User' folder inside of the 'Patches' folder: STEAM/Omnisphere/Settings Library/Patches/User. Restart Omnisphere and refresh the Patch Browser. Re: Best third party patches for Omnisphere 2 2017/04/18 16:45:59 +1 on The Unfinished, PluginGuru and Hollo Sound. They are by far the best 3 developers of Omnisphere patches out there. Pretty much anything they make is golden.

Step 3: From the Utility menu, you will need to press Install .omnisphere


Step 4: You will then be prompted with an alert box and then asked to locate your install file.

Step 5: Navigate to your previously chosen download location and select the file
Time+Space Dark Ambience.omnisphere and press Open.

Step 6: If everything has been selected correctly, you should be prompted once again, advising you on the included contents of your selected expansion pack. Click OK to start the install.

Note: the expansion packs for Omnisphere 2 also contain audio Soundsource files, these can get fairly large in size and take up to a few minutes to install. You will be prompted again once installation has completed.

Locating Your 3rd Party Expansion Pack in Omnisphere 2

Once you have installed your expansion pack, you can locate the files at anytime within Omnisphere 2, by selecting the Directory box in the top-left and selecting Time+Space Dark Ambience.

Overview of Video and Guide Details:

Download your purchased expansion library with the Time+Space Connect installer - for ease select your Desktop when asked where you would like to place these files.

Once the download is finished, open the downloaded contents folder into a window.

For Mac users - To locate the CORRECT location to place your files, from within the Finder menu (across the top of your screen) select 'Go'.

Select the Library folder and double-click the 'Application Support' folder.


Where to place the Patches:

Now locate your 'Spectrasonics' folder and go to 'STEAM', 'Omnisphere', 'Settings Library'.

Here you will find a 'Patches' and a 'Multis' folder.

Double-click the 'Patches' folder.

From your desktop, double-click your downloaded folder to open it into a second window.

Place the two windows next to each other so you can see both windows - your 'Patches' folder and your new content folder.

Within the 'Patches' folder, create a new folder and name it after the developer of the library (ILIO, Audiority or The Unfinished). Now double-click this new folder to open it.

Now simply highlight the new patches folders from the second window and drag&drop them into your new folder.

Please note - the Audiority bundle (Trapshere library) also includes bonus Wav files. These are just for your use, Omnisphere does not need them. You can place them with your usual sound library files if you wish.

Please note - The Unfinished libraries contain 'Patches' presets and 'Multis' presets. Please ensure you place the PATCHES into this Patches folder and then go back to the 'Omnisphere' 'Settings Library' window to locate your 'Multis' folder. Then just create a new folder in here called 'The Unfinished' and drag&drop the additional MULTIS into this folder. This stage is not covered in the video.

Now the files are in the correct location. Open Omnisphere in your DAW / music host.
