If you examine one of the GM Drum kits in the Basic Library, you’ll find that you can export import the full kit layers for your own sounds, but you can’t go very deep into that layer to see/change the zone maps and such…so you can build with the layer ‘as is’, but are quite limited in how much can ‘change/edit’ stuff deep in the layer. Sometimes such sounds have a macro page at the top level (intended for HSSE) unless you incorporate layers from them deeper in one of your own user made programs (Possible to lose the macro depending upon how the layer is implemented and exported).Įxamples are sounds from the Basic Library. Some sounds might also have fully ‘locked layers’ that don’t allow one to do much if anything in the Edit tabs of HALion/Sonic. These programs and layers might be somewhat, or fully ‘locked’ from deep user edits (aside from the exposed parameters for the Sonic player (none were exposed for the old Sonic SE player). There are also quite a few layers designed for the full ‘Sonic’ (now Collections) lineup that don’t have macro editors, but do have more parameters unlocked for user edits. (Extracted from the ‘content’ iso from HALion 1) It’s possible to obtain even more ‘legacy’ HALion sounds going back even further that still work in modern release of HALion, but won’t have any macro screens. You don’t NEED macro editors to put together very nice sounds! In fact, not having a macro editor could lead to the sound requiring less system resources (memory and CPU time). Study those to get a true sense of how begin building HALion sounds from scratch. This includes seeing ALL of the zone parameters, mapping, sample editors, and more. Programs and Layers from the “HAL Factory” library are among the most ‘open and unlocked’ content provided! While they don’t have a fancy macro editor…you should find that the layers within the program are fully unlocked and wide-open to see/change. You can edit the sounds in full HALion or Sonic (But not Sonic SE) through the Edit/Layer (L1 - L4) tabs in Sonic (Fewer options than Full HALion), or the Edit tab of HALion (Deep editing of sound/zone/maps/etc). Some content that ships with HALion goes way back to versions before Macro pages existed (I.E. Some factory ‘layers’ that ship with HALion/Sonic are ‘locked/protected/limited’ from deep user edits. Now you can directly load the VST Instrument Set presets into the HALion Sonic SE by using the internal load preset dialog of the HALion Sonic SE.In short: Not all HALion/Sonic sounds have a Macro. You can add HALion Sonic SE in the VST Instrument Rack under “Devices -> VST Instruments (F11)”. Here is one way to access the new Instrument Set in Cubase: HALion Sonic SE is included in Cubase 6 and Sequel 3 product families. Now the VST Instrument Sets will be available in your other products like for example HALion 4/5, HALion Sonic 1/2 and HALion Sonic SE. It is advisable to download or transfer the licenses to your USB- eLicenser.ģ. In the eLicenser Control Center please click on “Enter Activation Code” and follow the instructions.

Please open the eLicenser Control Center under 'Start-> Programs-> eLicenser-> eLicenser Control Center' for Windows or under 'GoTo-> Applications-> eLicenser' for Mac.

#Halion se library activation code#

Now you still have to enter your 32- digit activation code in the eLicenser Control Center. This is to avoid content and user rights issues in Windows.Ģ. Then you should also make sure to run Cubase as Administrator.

#Halion se library install#

For Windows I would recommend to install all your Steinberg products as 'administrator' and check 'For All Users' in the installer.
