The Omnisphere synthesizer, the fruit of several years of development from Spectrasonics, is a completely new brand of virtual instruments. This epic synthesizer is based on completely new sound technologies, combining a wide variety of real-time hybrid synthesis methods, an epic library of psychoacoustic sounds, and many innovative features that have never been seen before in hardware or software synthesizers. Omnisphere is a Spectrasonics product based on the patented STEAM engine, which is the basis for all the performance functions of Spectrasonics tools. Instruments equipped with a multitimbral STEAM engine provide many hybrid synthesis functions and include additional control functions. Technology based on the STEAM engine, provides the ability to work with 64-bit applications and new operating systems. All Spectrasonics' STEAM-based virtual instruments interact with each other.

Installation:

Please note that there are 2 images in the distribution: Settings Library and User in the Files folder. Their content must be placed correctly.

The Settings Library folder from the Settings Library image must be placed in STEAM \ Omnisphere, and the CONTENT of the User image in STEAM \ Omnisphere \ Soundsources \ User

Only after these steps, you should go to the Installation item

1. Copy the Omnisphere file from the Files folder of the required bit depth: x86 / x64 / aax to the folder where your plugins and synthesizers are located.

For example: C: \ Program Files \ VSTPlugins

(After copying this file, make sure that there is no read-only checkbox in its properties. You must remove it, otherwise you will not be able to patch this file)

2. Disable your antivirus (otherwise your DAW will crash with an error) in order to patch the Omnisphere.dll file and register it correctly

3. Run KeyGen.exe (as administrator) and press the PATCH button in the running KeyGen

4. Go in the window that opens along the path where you copied the Omnisphere file from 1 point and open it in KeyGen. In a few seconds the following inscription should appear in KeyGen: Successfully patched! Close KeyGen!

We follow the path C: \ ProgramData (the ProgramData folder is hidden by default in Windows. You must enable the display of hidden files in the settings)

Create the Spectrasonics folder in the ProgramData folder and go to it.

Next, create a shortcut to the STEAM folder in the Spectrasonics folder (you must select the path where you saved the main Spectrasonics folder from the distribution and select the STEAM folder in it)

For example: E: \ Spectrasonics \ STEAM

5. Launch your DAW (You need to rescan your plug-ins and synthesizers for new ones, if it does not support this function in automatic mode) and load Omnisphere into it.

Next, a window will appear with the registration of Omnisphere from which you need to copy the Challenge Code by clicking on the COPY button.

Run KeyGen again

Next, we paste the copied Challenge Code into KeyGen into the same Challenge Code line and press the GENERATE button A

serial number is generated in KeyGen, which must be copied and pasted into the Omnisphere registration window in the Response Code line by pressing the PASTE

KeyGen button, we no longer need it, close it

Next, press the CONTINUE button and in the next Omnisphere registration window that appears, it will be indicated that the plug-in must be reopened in your DAW (To do this, unload (delete) the plug-in from the DAW and load it again).

6. You need to wait some time (about 5 minutes) while Omnisphere scans all the paths and creates the necessary files. At the same time, it will seem that your DAW is frozen and nothing is happening. Do not take any action at this moment. Once the scan is complete, the Omnisphere window will appear.

Further we will talk about the Keyscape and Trilian shells (If you are using only the Omnisphere shell, then there is no need to read further) The

distribution also contains Keyscape and Trilian shells (dll files). They can also be used, but not required, as the Omnisphere shell has much more to do with Keyscape and Trilian.

You will need to copy the Keyscape.dll and Trilian.dll files from the Files folder to the folder where your plugins and synthesizers are located.

For example: C: \ Program Files \ VSTPlugins

Trilian has its own Keygen, which is located in the Files folder and has the name Trilian KeyGen.exe

For Keyscape we use the usual KeyGen.exe (the one that activates Omnisphere)

It is worth noting that the Keyscape.dll and Trilian.dll files do not need to be patched!

The activation process is exactly the same as in Omnisphere. I will attach only screenshots with the sequence of actions.

It is also worth noting that your DAW will most likely crash when you activate Keyscape (this may happen several times during the activation process)

Errors and their solutions

1. It is worth paying attention to the Settings Library and User images. The Settings Library folder from the image must be placed in STEAM \ Omnisphere, and the CONTENT of the User image in STEAM \ Omnisphere \ Soundsources \ User

If you make a mistake while copying files from images, you will see a number of such notifications:

2. Only English is allowed. That is, you do not need to put the Spectrasonics folder from the distribution into any folders in Russian or other languages.

The best option is to create the shortest path for this folder (place it in the root of the disk to avoid any problems).

For example: E: \ Spectrasonics

If you make such a mistake, you will see the following notifications:

3. A very common problem is errors when loading certain tools.

The essence of them is the same, but the names of the tools may be different.

There are 4 zmap.index files in which the paths are written. Any of these files can be deleted (all at once) if you have errors while loading tools.

These files will be created the next time you start Omnisphere (it will take about 5 minutes).

STEAM \ Keyscape \ Soundsources \ Factory \ Keyscape Library

STEAM \ Omnisphere \ Soundsources \ Factory \ Core Library

STEAM \ Omnisphere \ Soundsources \ Factory \ Moog Tribute Library

STEAM \ Omnisphere \ Soundsources \ User

There is also one prt_trl.index file for Trilian which it is recommended to delete

STEAM \ Trilian \ Settings Library \ Pathces \ Factory \ The Unfinished Trilian Humankind Patches

If you see the Error 634A2 error message (or encoded text) in the Challenge Code line when starting (activating) in Omnisphere, Trilian or Keyscape, then you must delete the corresponding activation file for a particular synthesizer along the path C: \ ProgramData \ Spectrasonics
