Moreover, A single audio file can import up to 24 bit 192 kHz resolution, which is written into the STEAM folder that they can be recalled at any point in the future. Besides, we can also apply our specific sound documents as a sound source. In Omnisphere, we can drag up on to the interface. Furthermore, we go crazy by using the new Granular. 'It's not only the wealth of sounds in Omnisphere; You're struck by the fact that you hear magic sound after magic sound.' -Jordan Rudess 'I can't say enough good things about Omnisphere! I'd have to say that discovering it has been one of my greatest pleasures.' -Danny Elfman 'If you can imagine it, you can do it. That's what Omnisphere is about.

Overview of Video and Guide Details:
Download your purchased expansion library with the Time+Space Connect installer - for ease select your Desktop when asked where you would like to place these files.

For Mac users - To locate the CORRECT location to place your files, from within the Finder menu (across the top of your screen) select 'Go'.
With the Go 'drop-down' menu up on the screen hold down your 'alt' key on your keyboard to 'unhide' the Library folder.
Select the Library folder and double-click the 'Application Support' folder.
Where to place the Patches:

Here you will find a 'Patches' and a 'Multis' folder.
Double-click the 'Patches' folder.
From your desktop, double-click your downloaded folder to open it into a second window.
Place the two windows next to each other so you can see both windows - your 'Patches' folder and your new content folder.
Within the 'Patches' folder, create a new folder and name it after the developer of the library (ILIO, Audiority or The Unfinished). Now double-click this new folder to open it.
Now simply highlight the new patches folders from the second window and drag&drop them into your new folder.
Please note - the Audiority bundle (Trapshere library) also includes bonus Wav files. These are just for your use, Omnisphere does not need them. You can place them with your usual sound library files if you wish.
Please note - The Unfinished libraries contain 'Patches' presets and 'Multis' presets. Please ensure you place the PATCHES into this Patches folder and then go back to the 'Omnisphere' 'Settings Library' window to locate your 'Multis' folder. Then just create a new folder in here called 'The Unfinished' and drag&drop the additional MULTIS into this folder. This stage is not covered in the video.
