Hi, after upgrading from Omnisphere 2 to 3, I’m getting a strange UI issue and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this. ✅ Symptoms (short version) Mini Browser doesn’t show patches after selecting Directory/Category Clicking a patch changes the sound, but the patch name doesn’t update Mouse scroll stops working completely Only the up/down arrows in the Mini Browser work Full Browser still works Everything else (knobs, filters, envelopes, FX, audio) is normal. ✅ Important clue The issue starts right after I close the UI window of any Omnisphere 3 instance. It doesn’t matter if I have 1 instance or 6 — closing one window seems to trigger it. Sometimes everything works perfectly with multiple instances. Other times it breaks immediately. ✅ My setup Windows 10 Omnisphere 3 (clean install, authorized) Omnisphere 2 had zero issues in the exact same setup ✅ Question Has anyone seen similar VST UI issues with Omnisphere 3 or other plugins? Thanks!

On my new/old system (Windows 7 laptop), this oddity only happens in 32 bit Home Studio 7. On my year old/old Windows 10 system, it happens in all versions. The odd part of this oddity is inserting RXP from the VST list opens the DXi and vice versa.

Hi, after upgrading from Omnisphere 2 to 3, I’m getting a strange UI issue in SONAR 8.5 and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this. ✅ Symptoms (short version) Mini Browser doesn’t show patches after selecting Directory/Category Clicking a patch changes the sound, but the patch name doesn’t update Mouse scroll stops working completely Only the up/down arrows in the Mini Browser work Full Browser still works Everything else (knobs, filters, envelopes, FX, audio) is normal. ✅ Important clue The issue starts right after I close the UI window of any Omnisphere 3 instance.

Is this a known VST2 event-handling limitation in SONAR, or something that can be worked around? Thanks!

Thanks everyone!

The plugin itself is permanently free. The expansions cost money, though.

Cherry Audio.

Yes to Relab LX480. Also, it is good to have a plate like this for $50: https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-plate/ Check around for demos of various "dedicated" plate reverbs, especially those that do a great job with the EMT140.

Any deals to be had on this? (ToneX Plug) Using 45 Jam Points directly on the IK webpage I got it down to $113.39 including Ohio tax.

This will happen when you are messing around with your audio system. Check the Master bus is set to your playback device and not to None.

Are you saving as a Normal project or a midi project??

@Glenn Stanton There is a free version that is not a demo .https://acondigital.com/products/verberate-basic I also love the Lexicon version from Legacy Sonar. Another great reverb is Relab LX 480 which is also dead simple to use. I got it dirt cheap at some point in time by subscribing to email. I think it was $30. https://relabdevelopment.com/lx480-essentials/ That’s the best way to gather plugins. Find something that you want and sign up. At least once a year the good stuff is always available at huge discounts. Never pay full price for Software. Like right now Sonar is super expensive @ $179 compared to the deal that was offered last spring @ $49. Oh I see they just offered it again at $99. SO once again only a fool pays full price.

The OP has left the Building. They came back but did not respond. Years ago I tried to make a policy of not responding to posts if a few people had replied already. Then, I would wait for the OP to respond. Otherwise we are all talking to the wind.

Gswitz, Since this was my first 500 series unit, I needed 2 more preamps, so I add 2 DBX 580 500 Series Mic Preamps. II think I am going to get a 8 unit 500 series rack 1 -14U 19" Slanted Rack - Filled 1 - 4U 19" Rack -Filled 1 - 2u 500 series rack - filled I don't need more gear, but I want it.

That was nice work. Really enjoyed the take and the old cartoons. I'm trying to remember who did the narration at the end on the original. Was it Vincent Price?

Well done. You captured Rodger's voice perfectly and a lot of other details in the music. No critic. Just admiration. Thanks for posting and sharing the excellent work, Ross!

Nice intro. Enjoyed your choice of sounds and working them together. Interesting rhythmic interlude. The highs work well. Good trippy stuff !

Cool song and vibe. I agree with the comments about a little more vocal presence, hard to hear the lyrics and I like to. Enjoy the guitars.

Enjoyed the tune, the tones of the guitar and the bass are very nice. Great playing too !

Select colors for tracks in bandlab Sonar project and saved. When I open the project later all the track colors are gone. How do you make tracks different colors and have them stay that way.

Do you happen to have Z3TA+2? Muz3um had made two patch banks for it years ago, and Minimoog was several of the presets from them. I seem to recall other synths that have Minimoog patches (although the synth itself is not focused on the Minimoog), but Z3TA+2 was the first one that came to mind. NI's Monark is supposedly one of the better ones. I picked that up with Komplete a few years back, but not used it enough to speak to it.

I believe I became aware of Aerosmith because of their collaboration with Run DMC in the mid 80's. Not that I was a hip hop fan at the time mind you. I wasn't much of a fan of the stuff they put out afterwards either, although it would have been hard to deny its qualities. It just wasn't my cup of tea. And for years I kind of ignored them mostly, despite acknowledging their remarkable talent. But then I heard Rocks - and man, I was instantly hooked. It's actually the first Aerosmith record I bought.

Hi all, I've had a few projects recently where Sonar will suddenly no longer show any audio sound activity on any track, i.e total silence. I've had to go back to a previous version. No idea what caused it or how to fix. No tracks are solo'd anywhere. Anyone had that happen? Thanks M

Slate authorizes with iLok but they finally got rid of the dongle requirement for perpetual licenses.

Thanks. As with most of my blips, it's not a biggy, just something I never noticed years ago. I'm hyper aware now because I'm setting up a new/old DAW system from scratch and decided to document plugin file versions as I go. One article I found suggested Dimension Pro eventually took over some or all of RXP's functionality.
