![]() 9.5, Dorico 1, HALion 6, HALion Sonic 3, Nuendo. You will probably have some time to wait, though, as the last Absolute sale was at the end of last year, with many lucky purchasers activating Absolute within the grace period for Absolute 6 (so they’ll get an Absolute 6 licence free of charge. The Steinberg Download Assistant allows for secure and convenient downloads of updates as well as full installers including the latest program version. Depending on the sale deal, you might be better off buying Absolute outright, then selling your HALion licence once the sale is over. I would wait for a sale on Absolute before proceeding - in the past few years, Absolute has gone on sale at somewhere between a third and half off around once a year. The crossgrade offers from HALion to Absolute have never been that generous. ![]() You can use the other crossgrade offer to Absolute (from a list of Steinberg products) if you have HALion 7, but the UK price is around 70% of the full price of Absolute 6! Steinberg strongly incentivises buying Absolute outright, not crossgrading to it. You get a discount for buying into the bundle, but the quid pro quo is that you have to upgrade the entire bundle if you want to upgrade.ĭo not buy a HALion 6 to Absolute 6 crossgrade, as the code will not work - that is intended to upgrade a HALion 6 licence (on eLicenser) to Absolute 6 on Steinberg Licensing. I think the added flexibility of Steinberg Licensing would allow Steinberg to allow Absolute users to upgrade part of the bundle, but I cannot see this being allowed for commercial reasons (there are all sorts of complex edge cases - imagine if you could upgrade to HALion 7 from Absolute 4, sell the HALion 7 licence, then upgrade again). ![]() Whilst Absolute 5 wasn’t the most exciting release, both Backbone and Electric Bass are worth having IMO. ![]() I suspect you will finish up worse off selling Absolute 4 and buying HALion 7 - plus you will lose all the Absolute 4 instruments and content that you don’t already have other licences for. You have a choice if you want HALion 7: sell your Absolute 4 licence and buy HALion 7, or upgrade Absolute 4 to Absolute 6. What you can’t do and so far as I recall have never been able to do is upgrade individual elements of Absolute. You have always been able to upgrade to a higher edition of a product, so you could have upgraded HALion Sonic Collection (what used to be HALion Sonic before version 7) to HALion, also HALion to Absolute or, for that matter, Groove Agent to Absolute. I am almost certain that the individual components of Absolute have never been individually upgradable. VST 3’s unique Note Expression and Expression Maps open up brand-new areas of potential, allowing users to create unique textures and aleatoric effects which are almost impossible with other libraries.I do recall in the past there being an option to upgrade to a newer version of a individual VST Inst at a upgradeable price if the previous version is owned in a package or bundle, basically in all forms of ownership Cutting-edge composition Iconica’s high-end sound and VST 3 standard keep compositions at the cutting edge. Recorded over the course of a month, the acoustic separation of Funkhaus Berlin’s studios guarantees crystal-clear samples which capture the sounds of the orchestra in perfect, intimate detail. Produced in collaboration with specialist company Orchestral Tools, the samples were recorded by 76 musicians - including 50 players just for the strings - in Studio 2, a 400m2 room with a pleasing reverb time of around 1.5 seconds. Intimately detailed recordings from a legendary Berlin studio Iconica Sections & Players is the only orchestral library recorded entirely at the legendary Funkhaus Berlin, renowned for its recordings of movie soundtracks, TV series, and major classical works. Brass brilliance Whether it is the majesty of a trumpet fanfare, a complex jazz solo or the many musical sides of a brass band, Iconica’s trumpets, trombones, French horns, tuba, and euphonium make playing brass parts a pleasure.
