Cannot Load Soundsource From Directory Core Library Omnisphere 2 3,8/5 3452 reviews

Dec 13, 2018  I bought Omnisphere and i have installed it but every time i click on a sound it says 'cannot load soundsource '(name)' in directory 'core library'. Try refreshing index in browser.' I cant work out how to 'refresh index in browser' if anybody knows? Aug 17, 2015  Still on the missing sounds issue, I've installed updates up on my omnisphere and it doesn't load any of the Bob Moog's and VIP's soundsources, it says that it cannot load soundsource.(soundsource name) because directory Bob Moog or VIP library not found. Oct 21, 2009  After the install, I launch FL and open an instance of Omnisphere. The very first patch I select shows the progress percentage reach 100%, then I get a popup error: Cannot load SoundSource 'blah, blah' from Directory Core Library. File 'xxxx.zmap' may be missing or corrupted. Try refreshing the SoundSource Browser. Questions: 1. I've had the same exact thing happen to me. I think it's been over a year since I bought Omnisphere 2, and this is still an issue for me. It really sucks to be paying over 400$ for something that doesn't even work.

The data files for Omnisphere are stored in your STEAM folder. When you update your patches or soundsources, you are updating files in your STEAM folder, which was created when you originally installed Omnisphere. Your STEAM folder is located inside your Spectrasonics folder. See the instructions below to find your Spectrasonics folder. Inside your Spectrasonics folder you'll find STEAM, which may be the STEAM folder, or it may be an alias (Mac) or Shortcut (Window) to the STEAM folder.


On Mac, the Spectrasonics folder is located here:

Macintosh HD/Users/<Your Username>/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics

From Mac OS X 10.7 and higher, Apple have made the User - Library folder a hidden folder by default. This is to stop general Mac users fiddling with settings, however, music makers will require using this folder from time to time.

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.

Once you have done this, you will then need to either locate or create the following folder on your main drive:

On Mac, the Spectrasonics folder needs to be created here:

Izotope radius win32.dll. Macintosh HD/Users/<Your Username>/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics

On Windows Vista and Windows 7, the Spectrasonics folder needs to be located here:

You will then need to move the STEAM alias folder (or the STEAM short cut folder) into the Spectrasonics folder on your main drive.

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.
