Sonic SE 3, when downloaded as a ‘simple player’ doesn’t come with any sounds (content packs), but a given Steinberg Host may well ship with content for the SE Player.

HALION SONIC SE3 FREE LIBRARY FULL VERSION

Reading the product pages doesn’t help me understand what they actually are.ĭorico comes with “more than 1,300 production-ready sounds from HALion Sonic SE 2” - which I understand to mean that the full version of HALion Sonic SE 2 has more than 1,300 sounds?īut above, people are saying that HALion Sonic SE 3 has no sounds and is just a player like Kontakt Player? HALion, HALion Sonic, HALion Sonic SE, HALion Symphonic Orchestra. As far as I know, you can get all the licenses to HSSE you want/need for other systems at no charge, but it’s good to know anyway.Īs someone who is new to Steinberg’s VST products thanks to Dorico, I do find them very confusing.

HALION SONIC SE3 FREE LIBRARY SOFTWARE

So keep that in mind when managing your new HSSE 3 eLicenser key (do you want it to stay on software eLicensers and be managed through your My Steinberg account, or to live on and bounce among different USB dongles?). The extra key is for running on additional systems that might not have any other Steinberg Hosts that come with HSSE installed.

HALION SONIC SE3 FREE LIBRARY LICENSE

I might be wrong (intend to try it and confirm this weekend), but if you already have Dorico on your system I don’t think you’ll need the additional key of which you apply for via email, as your Dorico license should cover it.

Some users/library developers are already sharing their ‘works in progress’ here in the Steinberg Forum for HALion 6 Content Development. HALion 6 (H6) is really new at present, so there’s not a ton of third party content of interest to traditional Symphonic composers out there just yet, but hopefully we’ll start to see more of it (both free and commercial) since anyone with H6 can now develop HSSE content, and HSSE now serves as a ‘free’ playback engine for third party libraries. HSSE 3 comes with a new library manager, which will make it easy to install/remove future content created for HSSE with HALion 6 dev tools. So, as long as your Dorico/Cubase/Nudeno License is on the system, you’ll be able to run HSSE 3 and access the HSSE compliant content packs that come with your Steinberg Hosts from any DAW/Host on that same system, or in Stand Alone Mode.ĭorico, as far as I know, currently comes with the following HSSE content packs: HSSE 3 does not come with any sounds, but Dorico (As well as Cubase/Nuendo) does. This will come in handy if you want to export MIDI files from Dorico, and play them back in some third party DAW using the same HSSE Setup (simply save a Multi-Preset in HSSE from your Project, which you can open in your other DAW all ready to play back your imported MIDI tracks, pretty much exactly as it did in Dorico). You are not restricted to Steinberg hosts anymore.

HSSE 3 will run in pretty much ANY DAW/host as long as it is 64bit. It can record your live playing, and play back standard MIDI files. Dorico Users will have some HALion SE content to play, and HSSE 3 will provide a nice stand alone GM 1 (plus a little) compliant instrument. The advantages to updating from HALion Sonic SE (HSSE) 2 to 3 are: Quick Browse this morning, so if someone already said this…OOPS. If you’re only using the sounds that come with Dorico, there is probably no particularly compelling reason to do this.

HALION SONIC SE3 FREE LIBRARY INSTALL

HSSE3 will eventually replace HSSE2 in the default distribution of plug-ins that come with Dorico, but not in the near future, so you will need to install it separately if you want to. But you can install HSSE3 if you want and it will replace HSSE2, and Dorico will use HSSE3 in exactly the same way it uses HSSE2. HSSE3 itself does not come with any sounds that you can use permanently. It also comes with HALion Symphonic Orchestra, which is both a sound set for the HALion family of plug-ins (HALion Sonic SE, HALion Sonic and HALion can all load the HSO sounds) and a stand-alone plug-in in its own right, though you shouldn’t use that stand-alone plug-in with Dorico.Īll of the sounds that you have with HSSE2 and HSO can be loaded by HSSE3. Dorico comes with the library from HALion Sonic SE 2, which is a cut-down version of HALion Sonic 2, which is also provided with Cubase.
