I have to asume it will,
cause I use to have to do dimension that way but it worked better than
omnysphere.
Some of the screen seems to be taken up by there discription of how they went
about sampling the instruments, I'd rather read that stuff somewhere else and
give me room for instruments in this window, but that's the way they did it. I
suppose it looks pretty cool.

Do you know if your technique for accessing the patches will work in sonar 6?

I just got it set up yesterday, maybe later on I'll have a chance to try
that out. As for now, I'm making a little head way.
I think that Gordon McFarlan said he was using it and liking it, so it
would be nice to hear from
Gordon if he's still on the list.

That's why I suggested copying and pasting the presets into sonar. It
makes it alot easier.

Well Omar, I'm not sure I'll bother with that if it didn't work for
you, but as I say, if I route the jaws to PC, and just start clicking with the
left mouse in a few different places, I'm getting some results. I haven't
figured out just how to get what I want though, like for example, I saw a sound
yesterday, and haven't seen it since. That's a bummer. But I'll find it dang
it! Lol.
It's called a skunk, in the funk, and it's very cool. I gotta write
somethin' with it I think. Ha ha ha ha.

Greg,
If you can someone sighted to copy the preset names in to the sonar
preset box foryou and see if they will load that way, that would be helpful. I
tried doing that with omnisphere and sonar 6, and the sounds don't load that
way, which is odd, because any other synth i've used that approach with works
fine.

Well my computer is a little querky and sometimes I have to hit the
space bar before any sound will come out, especially if a big sound loads up,
so here's what I've found out so far.
Using sonar 7 and cake talking,
when I open sonar,
do alt I and y, for insert soft synth, Find omnysphere in the list
and open it, I'm placed in the window that tells me the program hasn't been
scripted for and there are no presets available till I route my Jaws to PC, and
go to the top of that window, with control home.
Then I arrow down to, Saw square, and click on the left mouse
button, Finally some stuff opens up that I can use, a mess of sounds, and they
are good.\
It's hard to see how it all works just yet, there's a line that
says,
Catigory, type author and tamber, and right below that, four alls
in a row,
all, all, all, all,
I've been putting my jaws curser on the first all, and clicking on
that to load more sounds, then I arrow down, and use the same key stroke to
load one of those sounds,
wait a bit and after it loads I can play it. I find that
to get one of those sounds to play, with out a lot of distortion,
it's best if I close out of that window with control f4.
Sometimes I have to turn down the volume on my audio track to and
that cseems to help. I'm running two gigs of ram, and I suppose I need four for
this big synth. Some of the sounds are 150 megs and up.
To get a new sound, I then have to go to the output colomn on the
midi track, do control Y, to get back in to that preset or plug in window,
Route the jaws to PC again, and arrow down to something that looks good, and do
the left mouse on it. I find that there are so many sounds and some pages only
load up two or three, my sighted friend, can click on something that opens
another bunch of sounds down the list, but we can't get to it with the jaws
curser. I'll bet HSC could fix that for us with Mister Phil's help.
Well anyway that's what I've learned so far. $450 is a mighty big
price to pay for something with such limmited accessibility far as I'm
concerned, but if HSC could help me get further with it, maybe I'll be glad of
the purchase eventually. I do hope so.
My wife says we should talk to the A D A people about stuff like
this, but I sure don't have the energy or patients for that. I suppose
conversations with the developers would be a more positive way to go,
sorta be nice and pleasantly prod them in to accessible
accomadation.
Is anyone having a conversation with the spectrosonics people about
this synth? I've left a phone message, but not sure how soon I'll hear back. I
got the impression they wanted to deal mostly on line, but we'll see I guess.
I'd just like for someone who knows more than I do about jaws and computers to
chat with these folks.
If they call me back, and one of you would like to talk with them
about how they could make there instrument more accessible for us, right me off
list with your nnumber and I'll try to get you hooked up with them.
Thanks folks for reading this long post. Think I'll go down there,
and see what else I can find out about this bunch of fun sounds.
my email is,

Boy I installed all six dvd's, took for ever, scanned it with
globle options VST scann, and I hear no sound after inserting it either through
the track view, with the midi channel and banks, the way that stineberg works,
and with the program browser
the way dimension and rapture work.
Is anyone using this soft synth? Could I get some instruction?
