johnchop Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 As an Absolute owner, I was glad to see an upgrade path with the same cost as HALion standalone. Dongle-free is good, but I hate paying for that, so I have to consider the other value add. I’m not deep into HALion, but will give the 7 demo a shot to see if the UI overhaul makes it less intimidating. I reach for HALion Sonic a lot, so I’m curious what’s changed there, if anything. The upgrade tease may just be the FM synth... maybe. I do wish Steinberg would release a stand-alone effects suite as part of the package. Quote I make software noises.

johnchop Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Checked my account, and HALion Sonic 7 is there as a free version bump. It includes the new HALion effects and MediaBay interface. No FMLab presets… no surprise. Any other changes aren’t immediately obvious. My aging eyes wish the interface could be resized. Ah well. Quote I make software noises.

felis Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I've also got Absolute. I was debating dropping it and starting over with just Halion. But after mulling it over a bit I updated to Absolute 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
