No. I mean loading up a preset in the synthe then, saving it out as a .VST
preset. Note: in order to do that, you will need to tab over to the .VST
option button in the dialog and find out where you do that in there. I am
assuming that this softsynthe is a .VST?

Do you mean paste them in the synthrack area that says, for example, "preset
is no preset?"

I doubt it. Sounds like you would have been better saving out the presets
as .VST presets E.G, individual .VST patches or, .VST banks. Not tried this
but, suspect this could be right.

Well here's the reason why it would be good if you could try what I
suggested at some point. Pasting the omnisphere presets into sonar 6 only
yielded that "skunk in the funk" patch you mentioned earlier by pressing enter
on the presets. When you hit enter on any other patch it would not load, and
all you are able to hear is the skunk in the funk. So I'm wondering if that
problem dissolves in higher versions of sonar.

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?
