The three amp models and FX add to the distinctive sounds. The Amped Elektra is a unique electric piano, with a sound unlike the standard Wurly or Rhodes found in most libraries. You can also set the player’s genre, such as country or jazz. The Music Man, Jazz, and Precision bass samples are solid, and you can select various articulations, including a pretty convincing slap and pull. Electric Bass fills a gap from previous versions. There are two new HALion instruments in Absolute 5. The sounds vary from pretty good to outstanding, though all are an improvement over the stock sounds included in most DAWs. HALion comes with 28 instrument libraries that include various synthesizers and modeled instruments, including pianos, organs, world instruments, percussion, and even a Mellotron-emulation.

Each one has a unique graphical interface for setting parameters specific to the instrument, and the samples can also be edited using the global Halion controls and FX. HALion functions as a sample player at its most basic level, though when you load one of the instrument libraries, it, in essence, becomes that instrument. The collection’s premier instrument is HALion 6, which they call a sampler, but is much more than that.
#HALION 5 SOUND LIBRARY INSTALL#
(Warning: plan on the better part of a day to download and install the package.) As with most Steinberg products and e-Licenser dongle is required. Considering the size, you’ll want to have it on an external drive.
#HALION 5 SOUND LIBRARY SOFTWARE#
Installation could be a little less cumbersome as you must first download the Steinberg Download Assistant app to download the software and content and then use Library Manager to install it in the location of your choice. The package includes 6 separate instruments and over 130 GB of content. That’s too bad because it’s a great product and value. Version 5 of Absolute was released this past year, but this one seemed to slip under the radar, unlike some of their other products. Now, you could have an arsenal of keyboards, synths, drum machines, samplers, and sample libraries for well under $1,000. Native Instruments led the way in making virtual instruments affordable with their Komplete collection, and Steinberg followed suit and released Absolute. Please Click Here to Support SBO Magazine!

PS: I’ve attached a screenshot of my issue, if it helps illustrate the problem.It is a strange and trying time for all of us in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a big problem for me, so if anybody can help I would be very appreciative! It’s possible that I didn’t fully and properly uninstall and reinstall, and if somebody could provide a step-by-step for that, I would greatly appreciate it.
#HALION 5 SOUND LIBRARY MAC OS#
I’m running this on Mac OS Sierra, if that impacts responses to my question. This didn’t seem to help, and I’m not sure what to do. I then fiddled around with it, and ended up with only “First Contact”, unable to get anything else!Īfter this I thought to delete Dorico and reinstall it, alongside the HALion sound libraries (using the Steinberg Download Assistant and all). But when I tried to change them, it said there wasn’t anything there. This was particularly strange because it had loaded up the default sound libraries for the instruments when I started my arrangement, and they worked fine.

I then found that Dorico seemed to think that I didn’t have anything in my HALion library at all. When I was doing some work in Dorico on an arrangement, I went to mess around with the “Play” settings to change the sound libraries that were being used. I’d really appreciate if somebody could help me fix it. I’ve recently stumbled across a big issue that’s bewildering me.
