Hi ,

I use omnisphere and the steam folder is in C:/Programdata/ .. I don't have space in C:/ .. So I have all the keyscape db files in K:/ which is my external drive .. How do I start using my keyscape library now ?

Thanks

1. Backuo first

2. Temporarily move something off your drive to somewhere else to create enough space for the install.

3. Install in the normal place.

4. Move the Kyescape library folder to your new chosen location.

5. Create a Symbolic Link of the Keyscape library folder (IMPORTANT - named identically) in the regular location pointed to your new location (in Windows, I use a simple little program called DirLinker for this chore).

6, Put your other temporarily moved stuff back where it was in the first place.

The OS sees the new location as if it were the old, and I can confirm Keyscape works just fine this way, as I was in the same boat.

Because I'm nice, I made a video! People do keep asking about this, so I've made a generic (and mercifully short) tutorial.

In terms of your situation, the extra steps you'll need to take are to move something off your C drive first (only temporary) so you have enough room install Keyscape onto the C drive - the Spectrasonics installer will only let you put it where the STEAM folder already lives. Next, install Keyscape as normal onto C. Then follow the video - you'll be moving the Keyscape folder inside STEAM to your new location. That done, you'll have space back on your C drive, and you can put back the stuff you moved temporarily in Step 1.

Hope that helps....

Obviously I can't check your drive - are you seeing the symbolic link in your C folder, and does it navigate through to your new location when you click on it in Explorer?

and its navigating to K:\ ..

I receive this when i open omnisphere . How to refresh data in soundsources ?

Well it could just be as simple as clicking the refresh button in the browsers (circular arrow near the bottom right hand side), but I suspect something hasn't gone right.

Just checking - the original C location, you had - and should still have - a STEAM folder? Then inside that you have the various libraries, and this would have included Keyscape. This is what should now be a shortcut (symbolic link) to your K drive location? And this should be 72gb in size?

One final thing to check - that your plugin is the latest version (Omni won't read Keyscape files at all unless you update the plugin).

Thanks . Its working now . I just had to place the db files outside each folder in the keyscape ( STEAM\Keyscape\Soundsources\Factory\Keyscape Library\Keyboards) folder .

Thanks a lot .

Now I have cleaned up some space in C:\ by your help .

Much appreciated .

Thanks once again

But its very slow to load

Not sure how that happened, but glad you got it working!

Some of the Keyscape patches are HUGE, those do take a while even on an SSD.
