This is a guide for installing with a USB on Windows. These simple steps are applicable to Omnisphere, Keyscape, Trilian, and Stylus RMX. 

NOTE: Omnisphere, Keyscape, Trilian, and Stylus RMX are officially supported on Windows 10 and higher.

Before installing with the USB drive, create or login to your Spectrasonics User Account and register the serial number in your User Guide to your account.

To register the serial number, navigate to the My Profile page and input your serial number in the box underneath "Add a product to your account" on the bottom right-hand side: 

If you purchased a boxed version, the serial number can be found on the inside front cover of the User's Guide that came with your instrument. 

If you already see your instrument next to "My Products" on the left-hand side, that means your instrument is already registered and you don't need to register it again. 

1. Once registered, connect the Omnisphere installation drive into a USB-C port. If your computer only has USB-A, you can use the optional USB-A connector instead.

2. Double-click to open the drive “Spectrasonics Omnisphere”, and double-click on the "Omnisphere Installation" URL link located within.

3. The link will bring you to the Spectrasonics login page. Log in to your Spectrasonics User Account (if you haven't already), and select the DOWNLOAD button to download the current installers to your PC.

4. After downloading, navigate to your Downloads folder. Before opening the installation.zip item, you’ll need to extract it. You can do so by clicking on the installation.zip once, then click on 'Extract all' shown at the top right corner of your File Explorer window.

5. Extract to your Desktop, then open the Installation folder that’s on your Desktop.

6. Open the installation folder that is now on your Desktop. Inside you’ll see a "Step 1 - Installer" folder. 

7. Open the Windows folder located inside of the Step 1 - Installer folder.

7. Then, run the Installer located inside the Windows folder.

8. While running the Setup Wizard, you’ll be prompted to choose a location to install the 64bit VST plugin DLL file (the smaller plugin files). Typically the default location is: C:ProgramFiles/Steinberg/vstplugins  

NOTE: If you have your own custom VST folder, then you can choose that file path instead

9. Next, you’ll be asked to select a location to install the large library (the STEAM or SAGE folder). Omnisphere, Keyscape, and Trilian need to be in the same STEAM folder. If you have already installed one of these instruments, be sure to install to the same location. Stylus RMX will install to the SAGE folder.

Unless you would prefer the library be installed on an external drive, we recommend installing the library in the default location by just clicking next. The default location is: C:ProgramData/Spectrasonics  

NOTE: If you wish to store the STEAM or SAGE folders on an external hard drive then choose a specifc folder in that alternative location during this step. If you’re installing onto an external hard drive, please refer to our External Hard Drive & SSD Format Guidelines for an optimal setup.

10. When the installation completes, go back to the Installation folder that's on your Desktop. Open the "Step 2 - Data Updater" folder and then open the "Windows" folder.

11. Double click on the "Data Updater.exe".

You’ll be prompted to choose the locations for the 64bit DLL Plugin file and the STEAM or SAGE data. Please ues the same locations that was used in the Step 1 Installer to ensure that the updates go to the correct locations.

When the installation completes, close the installer. We recommend restarting your computer as this is a good habit when installing new software.

Once the computer has been restarted, open the standalone application. If it asks you to authorize, you can check our instructions in THIS ARTICLE. After you authorize, or if your instrument is not asking for authorization, click anywhere on the instrument startup screen and you should be all set to make music!
