OK, What's The Trick To Trip?

That sounds reasonable to me. There are all kinds of creative people in this world, and we all think in slightly different ways. If you’re using Cubase to start with, you’re not stupid. We should all remember that. Sometimes, read the manual is the right answer, but delivered delicately. It’s no fun to hear. I find the majority here to be patient and polite, as were all but one of the posters on this thread. I’ll never change my screen name to something like “Mr. Big Brain”. That would just scream of insecurity and internet tough guy issues. I’ve spent probably thousands of hours on forums and I’ve seen the gamut. It is as it will always be.

Yes, I’ve just been warned by Mr Dongo for an innocuous post. Maybe we’re not nasty enough? :laughing: I suppose if the board just wants humourless nodding dogs that’s what it deserves.

To the OP Trip is a funny one and I spent some time tracking it down looking for the “Trip” button. :laughing: Simply (and for others if you’ve already sussed it but haven’t got the hang of search) go into the presets and scroll down to the "T"s (and on to TR… etc) and you’ll find a couple of the more obvious Trip examples there.

And frankly, I think the current system is too frickin’ convoluted for its own good

Definitely in some areas it’s over engineered. I have to be careful what I say apparently as there is a forum apparatchik on the loose warning people about saying that and threatening “suspension”. Common sense is, apparently, not allowed. Especially if one has read a book. :mrgreen:

I just upgraded from Cubase7 to 7.5 …and ‘Trip’ is nowhere to be found. I need help.

I have 3 current licenses on my dongle - (1.) Cubase 7.5 (2.) Connect Pro (3.) Granular Symphonies


Am I needing to activate or register something else? Do I need a seperate licence activation on my dongle to be able to see ‘Trip’ ??

No you don’ t need a special license. Have you also downloaded and installed the additional content files for HSSE 2?

I believe that I have. It was something like 3 Gigs …should I try and download it again? Shouldnt it be readily visible?

heres a picture …

Please read my (lengthy) post above in reply to WillyNanita. It’s a combination of poor documentation a tiny bug and a pretty convoluted preset system.

I think it would be better if SB had advertised Trip as NI did Kore. ie. you’re not getting a ‘Synthesiser’, you’re getting PRESETS from a Synthesiser. IOW: Search for presets that -use- the Trip Library, don’t bother searching for a ‘Trip’ button of some sort. As with the rest of HSSE you’re getting presets of the thing and not the thing itself… if that makes sense.

All SB had to do was add one or two sentences to the docs:

“To experience the AMAZING POWER of Trip, start by opening Search and locating for any of the over 150 presets which make use of the Trip Library.”

Thank you yes I read it but still dont see anything anywhere that says Trip when I type Trip into the search…thanks anyway.

Try searching for ‘Wiretap’.

:question:

I typed “Wiretap” …no results shown

I… got nothin’.

  1. Re-install and try again.
  2. Fill out a support ticket. It -seems- as though SB response (at least in Amerikay) have gotten a lot better.

Use the filter search and there is a library for trip on its own.

If its not there, you might not have installed the “trip presets” properly.

Thank you but there is no Trip Library…?

It seems that you are missing the trip presets then.

The extra content you downloaded —> can you try to reinstall it again?

Edit: Try to open the HSSE Content file with winrar and run the setup file.

Yes I re-installed the extra content. I am growing tired of this. I appreciate your help but there are probably other issues with 7.5 that I have not even discovered yet because I’ve been trying to solve this one. Should I just wait for an update? FRUSTRATED AND TIRED OF THIS.

p.s Thank you and everyone tonight for the support.

I feel your pain and agree that its not always very logical.

Just to be sure, did you restart C7.5 after installing HSSE2 content file?

I was not running C7.5 when I extracted the files. Is extracting the same thing as installing?..it sure looked like it. After I was done I started up C7.5 and nothing.

To me it sounds like every step you have done is correct. Im not your sure why you cant see your trip presets.

Maybe you can try to download the HSSE2 content file Again to see if it helps?

Try to run C7.5 installer Again too, just to be sure Halion Sonic is updated to version 2.

When you buy C7.5 there is 2 files to download. C7.5 and HSSE2 content file. Each file should be installed separately and you should be good to go.

Edit:

Is extracting the same thing as installing?..

No, first it will extract the files and then prompt you with a menu, where it tells you it will install Halion Sonic Se 2

Suntower’s thinking is getting there but I think Trip was a last minute addition to HSSe2 as in “You know that synth thingy Fred’s been working on for six months? Can we bolt that on?”
I think an update will get it.
