HALion left in the cold.. I will never buy another instrument from steinberg
this is just unbelievable


Sorry but the pitch it's worth nothing when you keep treating customers as if they don't exist between each release.Matthias Quellmann wrote:Just to give you a heads-up, the next HALion iteration is already in the making. Although there is no confirmed release date yet, I can assure you that there will be some substantial new features and improvements that will answer long time feature requests as well as introduce completely new possibilities in HALion.
So it took Steinberg over 2 years to get in touch with companies to solve an issue with a VST3 version of a Steinberg product so you can let your customers know at the end of the life cycle of the product what the issue was!?Matthias Quellmann wrote:We are also investigating your reports about issues in other VST3 DAWs and are in touch with the companies to find solutions. As of today the issues seem not to be caused by HALion. As soon as we have more information to share, we will let you know.
I love the sound of Halion, but it crashes my Cubase session - unlike Kontact.iRan wrote:Well I been moving over to Komplete I pretty much given up,
Interesting...I got my money's worth out of H5 before I even purchased a key (Some $200ish dollars for H5 in a promo deal they were running...I had already grossed $1,200 from the H5 generated project)...while it was still in Trial period! Fell in love and ordered it well before the trial ran out.fenderchris wrote:Forget about it and move to Kontakt.
I wasted my money too on what was really an unsupported product. No wonder there is almost no third party support for Halion. Just look at how they flock to Kontakt.
I'm sure you are right. I just find myself always gravitating towards Kontakt. The idea of trying get back into H5 just does not excite me.Brian Roland wrote:Interesting...I got my money's worth out of H5 before I even purchased a key (Some $200ish dollars for H5 in a promo deal they were running...I had already grossed $1,200 from the H5 generated project)...while it was still in Trial period!

It's a really powerful instrument that's interesting and inspirational to soundscape with. It's very well put together and comes with quite a nice pallet of base samples and layers to work with. Tons of example patches to 'learn from'. For surround sound projects there's nothing else on the market quite like it in terms of how fast and easy it is to create (with Cubase) then pretty much drag and drop in lush 7 and 8 channel samples.
I've discovered that unless I'm super strapped for time I rarely need to go hunting for expensive 'third party libraries'. I can usually set aside some time to 'build my own' using the included content...quite often starting with an existing base patch and making a few minor tweaks. If I do need a super realistic acoustical third party instrument library with 200 articulations and 27 velocity layers in a hurry...I can always buy the library and use their included 'free player'.
H5 is Well worth the money if one actually digs in and uses itSometimes we get consumed with what is NOT on the table, and miss out on all the great stuff that IS.
It's not for everyone....that's why they have trial versions.
I've already set aside budget for H6. It's going to be EXCELLET!
