The 'Error loading waveform' indicates an issue with your Omnisphere library. If you are receiving this error, please follow the steps below:
Once the copy is complete, confirm that both STEAM folders (original and copy) are the same size, then delete the original STEAM folder from the default location. Open Omnisphere and you will be prompted to locate the STEAM folder.
1.) Make sure Omnisphere shows that 'You are up to date √'. To ensure that you're up to date, you can click on 'Get Updates' on the splash screen of Omnisphere. To get back to the Splash screen, you can click the Spectrasonics Logo in the upper-right section of Omnisphere.2.) If you are up to date, confirm that your Wavetables folder is 1.98gb for Mac, and 1.84gb for Windows. You can find that folder here:
- I cracked Omnisphere, but everytime i open it it says. The steam folder does not have write permission omnisphere windows. I know this is a common problem, but couldnt find any clear tutorials for fixing, does someone know how to fix this?
- As you’d expect, the Omnisphere 2 upgrade is available from Spectrasonics’ own web store, necessitating a 20GB download for the new Soundsource content included with the instrument. The install merges and replaces with your existing Omnisphere, updating the STEAM folder and upgrading the instrument plug-in to version 2.
Mac:
Macintosh HD / Users / Your Username / Library / Application Support / Spectrasonics / STEAM / Omnisphere / Wavetables
Note: In Mac OS X 10.7 – 10.14, the Library folder in each User folder is hidden. Select the Go menu at the top of your screen while in Finder mode, then hold the ‘option’ key on your keyboard, then select Library. If you are unable to locate your User Library in OS X 10.12, select the Go menu at the top of your screen while using the Finder, then select Go to Folder; enter ~/Library – then select Go.
Windows:
C:/ ProgramData/ Spectrasonics/ STEAM/ Omnisphere/ Wavetables
Note: The ProgramData folder is a hidden folder by default on Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista, so you'll need to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders' in your Control Panel / Folder Options.3.) Navigate to the STEAM folder using the steps above, and make sure that your Omnisphere folder is the proper size.

4.) If you are using any disk management software such as CCleaner, Revo, Norton, MacKeeper, etc., make sure that your STEAM folder is exempted by those 'cleaning' utilities so that they don't inadvertently remove necessary files from STEAM.
