Please note: This video was created on a Mac (OS X 10.8.5) designed to mainly assist Mac OS X 10.7 (and higher) users with locating their 'hidden' Users - Library folder. The video and guide then goes through where to place the additional patches so they are detected in Omnisphere.

Windows PC users can still follow this video to see where to place your additional patches. However you will just need to ensure you have located your Spectrasonics folder and then follow the guide / video from here or please view below.
Oct 04, 2011 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. Questions: 1. Feb 05, 2019 Omnisphere 2.5 & Keyscape Frustration!! Dear All, I have the 4 amazing plugins from Spectrasonics all updated to the latest versions. Also note that my Steam folder size on an iMac Pro running High Sierra 10.13.3 is equal to 175.72 GB.
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'.
With the Go 'drop-down' menu up on the screen hold down your 'alt' key on your keyboard to 'unhide' the Library folder.
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.
Omnisphere 2 Demo
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.
When the Omnisphere interface loads, please press the 'CHECK FOR UPDATES' button (top-left) and ensure all green lights are showing and that you have installed all of the needed updates. Without the latest update, some presets may not work correctly!
From the Patch Browser within Omnisphere, go to 'Directory' and select your new patches.
If the developer folder does not show, try refreshing the Omnisphere browser window (with the bottom-left circular arrow button).
I bought Omnisphere and i have installed it but every time i click on a sound it says 'cannot load soundsource '(name)' in directory 'core library'. Try refreshing index in browser.' I cant work out how to 'refresh index in browser' if anybody knows?Omnisphere Soundsource Error
Cannot Load Soundsource Omnisphere Refresh
I didnt install the STEAM folder to the default location, i dont know if this has any relevance to the problem? Everything seems to have installed ok because the STEAM folder is 42gb therefore all the sounds should be there and they are visible in omnisphere they just wont load. I can play the default sound and that is all. I feel the problem might be to do with folder locations but im not sure. Maybe it is just a simple little thing that i have not done or done wrong.Any omnisphere users that have had this problem or might have ideas how to sort this out, help will be very much appreciated as it is very frustrating having omnisphere and not being able to enjoy it!
Thanks
