Omnisphere 2 Data Updater
  • May 27, 2015  My Omnisphere 2 Nightmare (still not resolved). I had a similar experience trying to download the Omnisphere 2 update and/or a Native Instruments installer/updater from their site (can't really remember which). I did have a problem when I ran the step 2 data installer and it told me to “insert omnisphere” but then I ran it again.

Storing sound files on a secondary drive

If you are wanting to store your Omnisphere audio files on a second hard drive, you can put the Spectrasonics/STEAM folder onto your second drive. You will then need to create an alias or 'short cut' to this location on your main Mac or Windows drive. You can create an alias (Mac) or a short cut (Windows) by right-clicking (ctrl+click for Mac users) the STEAM folder and selecting it from the menu.

Note: On Mac, once you have placed the 'STEAM alias' folder on your main drive, you will need to rename it removing the word alias from the file, otherwise it will not work. You should now have a 'STEAM' folder on your main drive that is pointing to its actual location on your second drive.
Now when you close and re-launch your host application, Omnisphere should be pulling the audio files from off of the second hard drive.
