Installing Omnisphere Patches: Tutorial & Demo

This tutorial shows you how to install the patches you’ve purchased into your Omnisphere setup.

Ryan, our keyboard instructor, uses the example of 1000 Tongues by Vertical Worship to walk you through every step of downloading and installing a patch. 

1. Find the song lesson and video. Under the Keyboard tab select “Buy Omnisphere Keyboard Patch.”

2. Once you’re on the Worship Artistry Institute page, add the patch to your cart, check out, and get your download. As a Worship Artistry member you get a discount! 

3. Save your download somewhere safe, where you can back it up.

4. Open your host, whether that means ProTools (like Ryan is using), MainStage, or the stand-alone version of Omnisphere.

5. Click on Utility and drop down to select “Install.omnisphere”, then click “Continue” to certify that you have purchased the rights to the patch.

6. Find your file and install the Omnisphere patch. You should see a notice that the files are saving under the “Sharing” directory.

7. Go to the Directory drop down and select “Sharing”. The file for that song should be there. 

8. You can add single patches on the left hand side, or see your multi patch on the right. Make sure “Sharing” is selected here too. 

9. Click on your song. Once it notifies you it’s “complete”, you can return to the Omnisphere home, select Multi and Live, and you should see it all ready to go!

Watch the video to see more about different settings and applications once the Omnisphere patch is loaded, like using it with a mod wheel or fader.
