Probably too powerful, complex and scary. The most likely reason is, that Steinberg is not capable of writing an non technocrat version of a manual, and none of the specialists either...
But hey, it is worth to look at. I am happy to not have missed their recent sale which probably was the only one since a decade...

Dunno about that. Halion always appeared to me as aimed at a pretty special audience. Just like Falcon. Just not for your every day customer.martinjuenke wrote:No, the reason is that buggy, unreliable e-licencer thing...Tj Shredder wrote:Even in the most undiscussed synth thread there had been after 6 pages no mention of Halion, which is much more a synth than a sampler.

If the eLicenser really was the problem, it would be a problem for Cubase as well.

All those mentioned are very good. There are always several interesting synths floating Around from NI, like Razor, Skanner, Form ( amazing imho), Even older ones like Photone and Carbon. You really could make music with Reaktor stuff alone. The interfaces sometimes can look overly complicated but they are mainly very easy to get on with.
unfortunately i am undisciplined and suffer terribly from GAS. :)

I don‘t have a single dongle in my machine. As I reject Avid, there is no need to. Maybe you point to problems of the past...

Awesome, thanks zzz00m!

It's only is popular because it's free, there are many tutorials on it, and many soundbanks for it (and free and small file size, of course).

He is planning to also do a similar librarian for Dexed, a free emulation of the Yamaha DX-7 synth, which has a bazillion free patches available online. The challenge is that a good database engine will be required to sort the bazillion patches. I'm sure it will be awesome!
Meanwhile, the Synth1 librarian will give you a whole new way to explore the sounds that have been created for it by many talented users.
Windows 10 and too many plugins

How about the AIR stuff:
Hybrid / Vacuum / Xpand?
Seems to be used (and sold) by many and discussed by few...

Fantastic stuff... That I don't even bother loading because of no resizable GUI.

this never worked for me, on windows 7 or 10 - it crashes every time i try.
i love synth1 and have made a lot of my own sounds, so i was interested in such a program. it's just riddled with bugs ime.

You have to run the installer .exe that installs the Windows dependencies for C++ and .net. If you are missing those, you will get a crash.inkwarp wrote:this never worked for me, on windows 7 or 10 - it crashes every time i try.Meanwhile, the Synth1 librarian will give you a whole new way to explore the sounds that have been created for it by many talented users.
