    Hi all,

    Long time lurker, first time poster :woot:

    I am experiencing a strange issue with Omnisphere. I have the following installed and operational.
    • Omnisphere 2.8.3d
    • Soundsources 2.6.1c
    • Patches 2.8.0c
    • Bob Moog Tribute patches 2.0c
    • Windows 10
    When selecting one of the Moog Tribute patches, it plays the sound example, but immediately returns the following pop-up for each preset:
    'Cannot load SoundSource "NAME" in Directory in "Moog Tribute Library'. Try refreshing index in Browser.'

    I have rescanned the patch, multi and soundsource browsers without any success.

    I have also deleted the zmap.index file and let it regenerate (located in STEAM\Omnisphere\Soundsources\User). Still no joy,

    I've been unable to locate any intel addressing this particular issue on the forum. Any assistance would be much appreciated :wink:

    do everything you did but this time run the DAW as admin. Those files are in the ProgramData and need Admin access, Omnisphere couldn't rewrite the zmap if the DAW isn't run as admin. I sometimes have this problem, even yesterday with the User Library but just clicking the refresh and wait 30 minutes (I have huge user library) it will always fix itself.

    Downgrade Omni to 2.6.0e and rescan all patches. After this you can install latest Omni

    Thanks for the input Stevie Dude, much appreciated.

    I've deleted the zmap.index, booted Ableton as Admin, re-scanned all three browsers (Patches, Multi & Soundsource)....but still no luck :no:

    Omnisphere is still returning the 'Cannot load SoundSource...' popup for the Moog Tribute patches. So strange, it seems to be occurring on the Moog Tribute patches only.

    Thanks for the input ESP - I'll try and dig out 2.6.0e from the sister site & install if the issue continues.

    did you locate and manually move the folder to inside your STEAM/Omnisphere/Soundsources/Factory ?

    Thanks for the suggestion Clone :like: Yes, that is the file path I've got the Moog Tribute soundset located.

    I would delete Moog Tribute and reinstall it. If then nothing works I would install the Omnisphere version from vkDanilov.

    1.) Delete the Moog Tribute
    2.) Install this one: Spectrasonics - Omnisphere v2.8.2c VSTi - Update - 10.12.2021 - 820 MB - vkDanilov
    3.) Install the Moog Tribute

    Here again the overview:
    Spectrasonics - Omnisphere - Bob Moog Tribute Library Addon-AiR - 2.1 GB (Please install)
    Spectrasonics - Omnisphere - Bob Moog Tribute Library Update 1.4.0c
    Spectrasonics - Omnisphere - Bob Moog Tribute Patch Library Update v1.4e (Please Install)
    Spectrasonics - Omnisphere - Bob_Moog Tribute_Library_Update_2_0_0c (Please Install)

    Bob Moog Tribute - PLEASE READ Instructions:
    Windows users: Open the Windows folder and run the installer .exe. Please do not move the folders.
    The installers rely on the folder hierarchy presented in the download to function properly. The installer automatically checks to
    see if you already have a Spectrasonics folder on your startup drive to determine the location of the STEAM and SAGE folders.

    The install instructions for some other releases people have used are not complete. Reinstalling it the same way isn't going to work. They have to move folders around.

    A working Moog Tribute Library 2 looks like this:

    F:\STEAM\Omnisphere\Soundsources\Factory\Moog Tribute Library

    did you delete all of them ? or just one. In my system there are 15 of them and I remember I deleted all of them once and it seems to fix all the problems. As I said earlier once in a while the User libraries will give me problems because I kept adding new libraries but a simple refresh fixed that. If you already did it, just ignore this.

    All version Omni after 2.6.0e can't create zmap.index for factory libraries (also for Moog). You need install this version delete all zmap.index files from Soundsources folder and recreate all database. You don't find another solution for this. Don't waste your time and another users

    This is interesting...and may be contributing. I have the same files/structure as your included screenshot, except for the all important zmap.index file. Unfortunately this doesn't get created when I scan patches/multis/soundsources :unsure:

    Thanks for the detailed response. I'll work through the step-by-step install you noted earlier.

    Amazing. This process worked!

    installing the AiR Library created the zmap.index within the Moog Tribute Library directory. Then it was smooth sailing from that point onward.

    I'd like to extend my gratitude to all those who contributed to this post. It solved a lot of frustration.

    Great community - I look forward to running into y'all across the forums :bow:

    after tons of searching this actually worked thank you
    I installed 2.5 software update, let it run to generate zmap.index files (didnt even patch), then reinstalled latest software update

    Trillon thx!!!, i went crazy almost a year... Just a couple of details; i've installed placing first the big 2.8.1c Spectrasonics library folder in ProgramData, after that i've copied/replaced the Bob Moog Tribute Library v2.0c. Later installed the vkDanilov Omnisphere v2.8.2c Update. Started the standalone and saw that "Bob Moog Tribute Library Update 1.4.0c" was already installed, so i've closed Omnisphere and installed Bob Moog Tribute Patch Library Update v1.4e, and finally Bob_Moog Tribute_Library_Update_2_0_0c.
