MORE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
Aug 05, 2015 So, I moved Omnisphere 2's STEAM folder from my SSD (the location I specified when I installed) to my external HDD. Spectrasonics' site says that I should be able to receive a prompt when loading Omnisphere that guides me in relocating my STEAM folder. When I load it in Cubase, a box pops up.
Installing Patches
Locate your Spectrasonics Steam* folder and copy the folder and it’s contents into this location:
Steam/Omnisphere/Settings Library/Patches
NOTE: If you are a previous customer and already have a folder for that producer and subsequent subfolders installed in this location. DO NOT replace the existing folder with the new one! This will result in losing your previously installed patches. ONLY copy the contents inside this folder into the existing producers folder.

Our instruments operate as both standalone programs/applications and as plugin instruments designed to work inside of a DAW/Sequencer/ Host.
On an Apple computer, you'll find the standalone application in your Applications folder. On Windows, you'll find the standalone shortcut on your desktop or in your STEAM folder. You can also use your DAW/Sequencer/Host to open Spectrasonics instruments.

A DAW is a Digital Audio Workstation, also referred to as a Sequencer or Host; example: Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Sonar, Ableton Live, etc.
