Cubase 6.5 / Cubase Artist 6.5: 6.5.3. Update available

[curteye]

Maybe you installed it already when it came out separately back in April?

It made a major difference for me while using my
Macbook (see sig) in live situations.

Hmm... I was pleased to see that you'd 'fixed' the problem of it not working with the Retina MackBook Pro.

Actually you haven't really you? You've just set it to default to opening in Low Resolution mode, which at least means it works, but actually all the text and graphics are still the same pixely mess.

Are you going to update it to look nice?

Even if the text and numbers were 'retina ready' it would be easier on the eyes. I guess you have your own (non retiny-ready) text rendering engine. Stop that! Use Apple's!

Having problems trying to update 6.5 to 6.5.3 on my win7 64bit PC running Cubase in 32 bit mode, install runs Ok and Halion installed with no problem but on the installer options menu it is highlighted that there is no upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3.
I vaguely remember having a problem when trying to upgrade to 6.5.1 a couple of months ago, cant remember the exact wording that came up on screen but something like 'No version of cubase found'. I have run the Maintenance programme on the E Licencer so that should be up to date.
Any help graefully recieved

FIXED
Ok done a re install of 6.5 and updated to 6.5.3 and all is now working.
seems more stable as 6.5 used to crash once or twice a day, its now three days and no crash

I have run the Maintenance programme on the E Licencer so that should be up to date.

Running maintenance in the e-licenser control center doesn't actually update the program.

Sorry Helge, but the Prologue problem persists!

I can confirm that. The setting for "Fine" tuning is still raised significantly when a preset is loaded. I have just created a new patch with fine tune "0.1". After loading the preset again the value was raised to "5.0". Using Cubase 6.5.3 32-bit.

Not only fine tuning. Using the preset Whizzle leads to a lot of noise. After that there's a "disconnection" between cubase and the soundcard (M-Audio 1010 LT). Have to restart my computer to make it work again.

So... What about the overall stability of this update, as it seems that there are problems, here and there (i.e. see https://www.steinberg.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=25766, especially the last posts) ? I would like to install it, especially for the Halion SE new version and fixes 3), 9) and 11), according to Helge's announcement.

But I will never do so, at the expense of unstability : as a general rule, hosts are already too prone to crash, due to their complexity and hardware dependencies to add some more... What puzzles me is that 6.5.3 sseems more unstable, as a fully supported update, than 6.5.1 which was only a pre-release one, this without talking of the missing 11) fix.

So, any feedback would be welcomed...

Thanks ! Are you using 6.5.3 with a Mac or a PC ? I ask this because I see that most of the issues reported are from Mac users...

AFAIK the Halion Sonic SE 1.6.0 update is the same as the one in the Cubase 6.5.3 update.
I already installed this update in April and the 6.5.3 update statet SE was already updated. So if you only want to update SE first, you could go that way.

FWIW, 6.5.3 is working like a charm here, on PC (apart from the Prologue finetune jump).

Seem to be having a few issues in 6.5.3 using Vienna Instruments Pro 5. My Trillian software is losing volume of midi channel and have to keep restarting project to hear bass. I am switching back to old 6.5.1 for now and will try to determine issue later, if anyone else is using VEP5 let me know if you encounter issues
Thanks
