I get development but always felt code could keep these products at least in function. As much as I’ve a MOTIF XF it’s a frustrating deal, if you write symphonic music, with 3 dozen tracks, and they swap them out every few years. This seems, as much as HALion Sonic SE has many new, cool, critical features, is disruptive to a library material made over 15-20 years. The sounds used were never found to be the “same sounds” available in HE 1 etc to HE3.

synth sound with built in delay (as on HALion One), or a guitar lead swell (Hypersonic 2) any such nuances, then kill the part. Snare or tympani in another context, such as without a gleckenspeil on the same wave, or a certain perc. They are not “replaced” by name & timbre in newer platforms. Its important that Steinberg understand axing VSTis is a horrid thing for the arranger of large symphonic or really any pieces.

I know this post is old, but a Comment: Originally HALion One was said to cover all the sounds dropped from Hypersonic 2 (never made sense to me to write out a VSTi from service, let alone for $270, in 05), yet I never could find a single title or sample edits of important patches were the same at all, after searching 1st HALion One, and then as HALion One phased out., HALion SE.
