    Essentially, I have many STEAM folders from getting the various updates, and the 6 separate disks to install omnisphere all had separate STEAM folders as well

    Omnisphere is asking me to locate my STEAM folder now. Do I merge all of my STEAM folders to prevent me from missing out on certain instruments? I can supply more info if its needed, I just want to make sure I have all my sounds. Sorry for cluttering up your forum with a question like this, but I was told to post here about it by an Audioz member

    Thank you :wink:

    I simply put my "STEAM" folder, from previous install, inside MyDocuments
    And put a shortcut to it inside "C:\Program Files (x86)\Spectrasonics"
    There is already one, so overwrite it.
    shortcut should be named "STEAM", too.

    So yes, merge all datas, put them where you want, and overwrite the old shortcut inside "C:\Program Files (x86)\Spectrasonics" with the new one, named "STEAM" like the old one.

    Start Omni, and force refresh index in Omni browser.

    Pipotron3000 is right, this is the solution.
    The same applies to Trillian if you install it, wich could be interesting, because Trillian integrates into Omnisphere so you can see Trillian presets in Omnisphere menu.

    Thanks for the reply, do you have any idea how I'd do this on a Mac? And can i merge the STEAM folders even from the updates i didnt use?
