#HALION EXPANSION LIBRARIES HOW TO#

Please see this Steinberg support article to learn how to properly activate your newly purchased product, and then come back here if you still have problems!

#HALION EXPANSION LIBRARIES UPGRADE#

If you instead see a ' Verification Pending' status, that is probably because you purchased an update/upgrade/crossgrade license and you have not yet completed the license upgrade process.

If you see the product listed, but it's in the ' Not Activated' state, just click the Activate button. Launch the Steinberg Activation Manager and confirm that your installed Steinberg product is both listed and activated. If you are using any Steinberg product released after December 2021 (Cubase 12, Nuendo 12, Dorico 4, etc): So before you go any further, please check the following: I have confirmed with other Cubase users that some plugin preset problems are the result of improperly activated products, and the steps in the following sections won't help you in that case. The steps in this article all assume that your Steinberg products are all properly licensed and activated. Most of the information here should be valid for MacOS too, though.

The full versions of HALion Sonic 3, HALion 6, and Groove Agent 5. The versions of HALion Sonic SE, Groove Agent SE, Padshop, and Retrologue included with any flavor of Cubase 10, 11, or 12 (or Nuendo 10, 11, or 12 ). This post covers preset issues with the following product versions: Due to the recent epidemic of Cubase 12 users unable to locate presets for the HALion Sonic SE and Groove Agent SE plugins bundled with Cubase 12, I am back at it again with a brand new guide. Over the years I've published several articles on how to recover presets in various Steinberg instrument and effect plugins, and they're among some of my most viewed posts. I’ve been waiting for Absolute for years, but I believe that it might be time to move on.I've experienced problems with missing plugin presets on nearly every version of Cubase I've used since 2010, and I know I'm not alone. Only one other company I think would be worth paying and that is UVI, which adds at least 2/3 new libraries a year for €240/y and has very good and modern sounding content - Falcon looks like a very good hybrid instrument to me too. I honestly don’t see myself buying Komplete because there’s too much I would drown in content, but if keep using Arturia’s Augmented Strings as my to-go string library is because Absolute does not have a relevant orchestral library - HSO is ancient, and Studio Strings does not qualify either. Having Iconica, Hybrid Bundle, Scoring Percussions and all expansions would mean that composers and producers could do everything from within the Steinberg ecosystem. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind different tiers as, at this point, I believe the HALion ecosystem has got less content than NI but one that is more relevant - especially for synthesizers and experimental stuff (see the hybrid instruments created lately). Well…Komplete has 4 different versions - Select, Standard, Ultimate, and Collectors Edition.
