    Just hope they can fix the fl studio bug :dunno:
    If anyone that uses fl studio and still installed the update
    and then tryed to go back to version 2.4.2c but gets errors in that now
    this is the default folder Omnisphere 2.4.2c is looking for that should remove the error popup.

    I tried that one as well, and the installer won't complete. I get a "ready for next volume" message. Weird.

    UPDATE: I tried just replacing the old "Moog Tribute Library.db" file with the one from the new update, and now it says I'm up to date and appears to be working fine. :dunno:

    Something is wrong with your installation then...
    Place Moog Tribute Library.db from the zip file in Spectrasonics\STEAM\Omnisphere\Settings Library\Patches\Factory

    Spend few hours playing with this thing and i'm totally didn't get the point of hype. It's still poorly designed rompler with very basic synth options. No macro control, no routing (Osc to specific filter/fx/arp etc), no proper FM (osc to osc), granular engine is weak, FX section is mediocre, Archaic modulation, browser is slow, presets are kinda "LOOK MUM WHAT I CAN" ( nvm if you are horror movie composer). Programming patches is a nightmare comparing to avenger/spire/serum/falcon/synthmaster/Sylenth. What the point of this crap, why it costs 500$ and why music radar put this sampler on the top places of the "top 50 vsti" every year - is the mystery of my life.

    All you have to do is either rename it or convert it... what's the big deal... if you're a REAL musician/composer/producer, you'd be doing this ALL THE TIME.

    None of that is happening to me. Everything is working fine, so it's not the updates OR the installer. There could be a conflict of versions. Or you screwed up the install.
    It is recommended that a complete uninstall and then fresh install be done if you're having certain issues out of your realm of Omnisphere knowledge...

    Best vst on the market for me. I dont think you realize how many hours spectrasonics put into developing those great sounding samples over the years. Why is it 500? Simple. Its because omnisphere is the industry standard among top name producers and there is a very good reason why

    what is your OSX version ?

    it's quite difficult to screw up an install when all you have to do is hit the install button.

    To a certain extent, true enough. Granular is wack, I dunno why anyone would use (onboard) FX (on any VI =), I disagreee about mod matrix et al, pretty great imo. Browser sucks. FM is a bit (very) basic. Dunno (what it is) about macro control or routing?

    Anyway, I'd advise anyone to kinda ignore most of the "new" (bread & butter) Omni presets, and just dive into the new Hardware Library section. That's really where all the fun stuff is. Lots of very playable, fun, gorgeous-sounding presets. And nao w/ aftertouch! Yay! I mean, that's where Omni excels, rly. Just being able to browse at random and find something to jam w/ for a while.

    I'm disappointed by the hardware integration; kinda pointless to have a $4k synth as a flippin control surface. A solution in search of an idea. Why not integrate some cheapo bluetooth controllers, ffs? Just hope Persing spends some of that liposuction cash on adding affordable hardware (maybe stuff dedicated to the flipping job!) to that section.

    Oh well, improved overall. Just hope they expand some of the better ideas...
