If you’re unable to save user patches in Omnisphere, first make sure you’re saving your patches to a folder within your User folder as shown in the screenshot below (e.g. Example Folder 1, My Category, etc.):
If you’ve done that and are still unable to save user patches, try checking these settings on your computer:
1.) Make sure your STEAM folder or STEAM alias/shortcut folder is set up properly
Your STEAM folder or STEAM alias/shortcut folder must be located here.
If you want to store the large library files for your instrument on an external drive, it’s important that you link the STEAM or SAGE (Stylus RMX) folder as opposed to the Spectrasonics folder (or any other folder), which contains the STEAM and SAGE folders. Linking your Spectrasonics folder via an alias or shortcut has been known to cause an issue with saving user patches.
If you would like to have your STEAM folder on an external drive, please follow these steps to move the STEAM folder to an external drive and link it properly:
2.) Make sure there are no special characters in the STEAM or SAGE folder file path
Check to make sure there aren’t any special characters in the file path to the default location for the STEAM or SAGE folder.
Here are some examples of special characters: !@#$%^&*?_~
3.) Make sure that the permissions on the STEAM folder are set to "Read and Write" for all users
To do this, follow the steps below:
If all else fails, try relocating the STEAM folder to a different location on your internal drive.
