Some very cool sounds and textures.

Nice, I assume its just a sampler from the the full version? (£51)
https://www.steinberg.net/vst-instrumen ... ofi-tapes/
I wonder if they will do that for all the new 7 instruments, there are quite a few, some are quite expensive (£110, like https://www.steinberg.net/vst-instrumen ... ood-water/)

Has anyone received vouchers to upgrade their libraries to the new licensing?
I got them for Granular Symphonies and Zero Gravity (both Padshop), but nothing for Halion yet...

A bit confused.. I don't think Halion 6 will be anything but e-licensing.. and Halion 7 is a paid upgrade. Also you can buy the upgrade directly from SB without a voucher (it is $99US not sure how much in other countries)

why would you expect a voucher?

Note the word "libraries" - e.g. Dark Planet

UVI orchestra suite is way better

Ahh indeed.. my bad

.
I think the plan is to do the ones that are still being sold, not sure about older ones or when.

I was wondering about libraries such as LoFi Piano too, that still needs the dongle. I don't know if that'll just be left as is, or vouchers sent out. I mean, it's only a freebie so not a big deal.

Are you finding this through Steinberg, or through Cinematique Instruments?

How come they allow him to use a master keyboard from the competition? Yamaha has no trust in their own gear…!

And HALion isn't even NKS!

OK thanks. I found it in the Steinberg download assistant too.

There are 2 Montages in that studio, and Yamaha doesn't sell master keyboards currently.

Try opening Activation Manager - and try again.
