The “Error loading waveform” indicates an issue with your Omnisphere library. If you are receiving this error, please follow the steps below:
1.) Make sure Omnisphere shows that “You are up to date √”. To ensure that you’re up to date, you can click on “Get Updates” on the splash screen of Omnisphere. To get back to the Splash screen, you can click the Spectrasonics Logo in the upper-right section of Omnisphere.
2.) If you are up to date, confirm that your Wavetables folder is 1.98gb for Mac, and 1.84gb for Windows. If the Wavetables folder is not the correct size, please try reinstalling Omnisphere using a Download Manager from the Reinstall tab in your user account or your USB installer. You can find that folder here:
Mac:
Macintosh HD / Users / Your Username / Library / Application Support / Spectrasonics / STEAM / Omnisphere / Wavetables
Note: In Mac OS X 10.7 – 10.14, the Library folder in each User folder is hidden. Select the Go menu at the top of your screen while in Finder mode, then hold the ‘option’ key on your keyboard, then select Library. If you are unable to locate your User Library in OS X 10.12, select the Go menu at the top of your screen while using the Finder, then select Go to Folder; enter ~/Library – then select Go.
Windows:
C:/ ProgramData/ Spectrasonics/ STEAM/ Omnisphere/ Wavetables
Note: The ProgramData folder is a hidden folder by default on Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista, so you’ll need to “Show Hidden Files and Folders” in your Control Panel / Folder Options.
3.) Navigate to the STEAM folder using the steps above, and make sure that your Omnisphere folder is the proper size. If the Omnisphere folder is not the correct size, please try reinstalling Omnisphere using a Download Manager from the Reinstall tab in your user account.
4.) If you are using any disk management software such as CCleaner, Revo, Norton, MacKeeper, etc., make sure that your STEAM folder is exempted by those ‘cleaning’ utilities so that they don’t inadvertently remove necessary files from STEAM.
5. If the steps above do not resolve the issue, please try reinstalling Omnisphere using a Download Manager from the Reinstall tab in your user account. Click here for a walkthrough on how to do that: On Mac – On Windows
If you are still experiencing issues, please contact Spectrasonics Tech Support at info@spectrasonics.net and we’ll be happy to resolve the issue.
The error loading waveform in Omnispehere comes from your Omnispehere library. You have unidentified issues with the library. To solve this problem follow these instructions.
Fix 1
Make sure your Omnispehere is up to date with the latest version before applying the fixes. Now follow these steps.
- Delete every “zmap.index” file you find on the “Soundsource” folder from the omnispehere directory. By default, it is on-
For Windows | ProgramData/Spectrasonics/STEAM/Omnisphere/Soundsources/User |
For Mac | Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics/STEAM/Omnisphere/Soundsources |
Note: For Mac, the “Library” folder is hidden by default to find it on the “Finder” menu hold down the “Option” key while using the “Go” menu and select the “Library” folder, and for Windows, the “ProgramData” file is hidden by default. To view it, click on “View>Show hidden files” at the top of the file explorer menu options.
- Restart Omnispehere. It should create a new “zmap.index” file to solve the error. It may take a bit longer than usual to load as it takes time to rebuild the index file.
There is another method to solve the omnisphere error loading waveform.
Fix 2
- Assuming you are up to date make sure the wavetables are of the required sizes which are 1.98 GB for Mac and 1.84 GB for Windows.
For Windows | ProgramData/ Spectrasonics/ STEAM/ Omnisphere/ Wavetables |
For Mac | Macintosh HD / Users / Your Username / Library / Application Support / Spectrasonics / STEAM / Omnisphere / Wavetables |
- If the wavetables are not the correct sizes reinstall Omnisphere again with the correct wavetables sizes by going through the “Reinstall ” tab and then “Download available”.

попробуйте удалить ZMAP.INDEX по этому адресу… при запуске омнисфера будет долго загружаться ( переиндексирует свои файлы… иногда это занимает около 30 минут)… если это не поможет, то поставьте 2.6.2.С (апдейт)… если не было при установке грубых ошибок должно помочь…
Главный строитель, у меня вот такая же проблема, и я вот только что понял что папка стим у меня слишком мало весит (хотя должна весить 80гб). Как и где можно скачать только папку стим? я с рутрекера качал 2.6.2 и не обратил внимание на размер раздачи, она весила 800мб (мне показалось 80гб)

Recently upgraded to 2.5 and when I try to load some of the new hardware library patches, there is a “Error loading waveform” error prompt thats displayed. The patches seem to load fine though.
I have read elsewhere that the issue lies with the ~BundleArchives.db files in the STEAM/Omnisphere/Wavetables/ subdirectory. I currently have 2 such files (~BundleArchives.db and ~BundleArchives.db2).

Hi Guys. Please can anybody help me with this same issue, I have never had this before and I am also running all the latest updates, patches etc. For some reason after reinstalling today (RMX was playing up), every time I select a sound on Omnisphere, I get the ‘Error loading waveform’. The sounds play fine, but as you can imagine, it is a pain to have to click OK every time I change sound. Please help :>(

I have the same problem. All up to dat with 2.5.1c and I get error loading waveform on a lot of sounds.
It looks like Omnisphere thinks I have Keyscape, Trillian, etc when in fact I do not have any addons.
How do I remove all Keyscape, trillian, etc sounds so its just the root omnisphere sounds?

can you post a screenshot of this:

Omnisphere “Error loading waveform”
Please make sure your Omnisphere installation is up to date. You can check if there are any updates from the start-up screen of Omnisphere or you can click the Spectrasonics logo on the interface of Omnisphere. Make sure everything is up to date, in particular the Soundsources.
If everything is up-to-date try to delete the zmap.index file found below. It’s harmless to remove:
PC: ProgramData/Spectrasonics/STEAM/Omnisphere/Soundsources/User
Mac: Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics/STEAM/Omnisphere/Soundsources
Restart your DAW and insert Omnisphere 2 again and it will automatically create a new zmap.index file.
