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.
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
SONAR 8.5
Windows 10
Omnisphere 3 (clean install, authorized)
Omnisphere 2 had zero issues in the exact same setup
✅ Question
Has anyone using SONAR 8.5 seen similar VST UI issues with Omnisphere 3 or other plugins?
Is this a known VST2 event-handling limitation in SONAR, or something that can be worked around?
Thanks!
