I just got it working with Johnny's exact instructions that I had quoted. It was my own user error actually >_<

 

Getting it open and "working" is not the issue. It's like Serum 2. There will be more revisions.

 

Yeah when you open finder and use "go to" and enter pathway like ~/Library/preferences you see your users and username below, So when WE directed you ~/Library/App Support etc, this should have been automatic. Wierd, now that you fixed it, lock plist ofc, if you didnt,


SO to all with issues the pathways are User -> Username -> Library -> Preferences and or Application support. Both last named is in the Library.

There is a normal Library as well with preferences folder that's the wrong folder... But if you enter in go to: /Users/yourusername/Library/

You should be in hidden folder,

Otherwise open finder any tab.... go to the options at the top should be archive edit etc you want to click on go then when dropdown menu appears hold down left option on keyboard and you will see library pop up and vanish if u let go of left option... Needless to say you hold option go to Library and your'e in the right folders now, and can apply the instructions.

Fast course is to delete all Omni.app, vst3, AU in plug-ins then in hidden folder, that has with omnisphere to do, and spectrasonics. Search Preferences for omni and spectra in those folders, delete.
Then
Give Read and write priviledge to Application Support and Preferences in hidden library.
This is so you install and files end up where they are supposed to be. And also to work proberly when installed, only lock net.spectrasonics.v9.plist

Install, codesign, open omnisphere APP i did this instead of in DAW, activate, close, find net.spectrasonics.v9.plist lock it. in hidden lib / Preferences

MOVE steam folder to /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics/ <- STEAM

Open terminal sudo chmod -R 777 one space drag new STEAM folder. Enter.

Now all should be good to go. you, can also give full disk permission to used DAW and Omnisphere.app if you have timebomb or presets not loading when closing project and opening again... But given Read and write to correct folder should be enough, but i had issues first so giving full disk permission in settings / integrity is ok and in some cases needed. idk rly but no danger to it.


Nice that you figured out. Wierd that the little ~ <- /Library before ~/Library didnt work. But full path is as above... /Users/yourusername/Library try go to ~/Library <- copy this and see if the path shows underneath the searchbox, atleast it does for me.
