Omnisphere 2.8 update - PluginGuru patches show up, but never load into Omnisphere.

Posted by: @ashtangakasha

The title says it all. The native Spectrasonics patches all work great, but none of my PG libs will load. They show up inside Omnisphere, but when I click on a patch, it highlights but nothing happens. The last Spectrasonics patch continues playing.

You have probably registered the VST3 or AU version of Omnisphere into Unify's Known Plug-Ins list; the unified patches require the VST version. See https://pluginguru.net/unify/manual/doku.php?id=scanning

Thanks for the reply. Either I'm misunderstanding you or I didn't explain my problem well.

It's Omnisphere that doesn't recognize any of my PluginGuru libraries for Omnisphere. It used to recognize them all, but now it just shows them all (a dozen or more) and fails to load anything.

I haven't changed anything in Omnisphere's setup, and I haven't re-installed the Plugin-Guru libs anywhere (Omnisphere or Unify).

The problem only appeared after I updated Omnisphere to 2.8, announced a couple of days ago. It looks like something may have changed in Omnisphere that affects Plugin-Guru lib compatibility. Since O2.8 is very new, perhaps that's a possibility?

I didn't enter or change anything in Unify. And in any case I don't see how registering something in Unify's plugin list could have any effect on Omnisphere. But like I said, maybe I'm missing something here. 

Thanks again for getting back to me.

@ashtangakasha Thank you for clarifying. This is John's area. I've asked him to answer.

@getdunne Thanks!

Hello Allen! I have updated Omnisphere to version 2.8.4 as well here on my Apple Studio computer. All PG libraries load without any problems... I would suggest hitting the Refresh circle (big circle with an arrow at the Lower Left of the Interface - 5th button from the Left). It sounds like the directory and the actual files have been "divorced" and need to be put thru emergency marriage counseling. This usually does the trick!

You might need to also do this to Multis and SoundSources - they are 3 different Directories and Omnisphere 2 still doesn't have a single button for a global refresh of all their directories. If you're not familiar with how to get to the SoundSources page, click here for an image to help you with finding the button to click.

Hope this helps, please get us an update when possible.... fingers crossed!
