HALION 5 MISSING SAMPLES from Halion 4 and Sonic banks

Hi.
I’ve purchased Halion 5 upgrade from VST Absolute.
Some samples are missing in the Halion Factory bank.
Some programs are ok, others miss a part of the samples (layers), and others miss all!

All other banks are ok, included Halion 3.

All is installed “for all users”, Halion 5 64 bits and Windows 7 64 bits.

Any solution?

Best regards from Paris :slight_smile:

have you seen all the threads about missing content ?

Yes but that seems doesn’t work for me…
Just these missing samples

I’m the only one with this problem?

:frowning:

The missing samples ar a part of programs from Halion Sonic or Halion 4 banks.

And i didn’t own these banks before ( Halion Sonic(full) and Halion 4), because i’ve purchased Cubase 7, next VST Absolute, and next Halion 5 upgrade.

Here the list of my vstsounds:

I’m in the same situation! I don’t know what to do… I’ve tried everything:

-To install my Halion Sonic 1/2 and 2/2 DVD’s.
-To install the Halion Sonic 1.5 Trial that came with my Cubase 6.5
-To upgrade it to Halion Sonic 1.6.2 and the content actualization.
-To upgrade it to Halion 4.5.5 and a “VST Content Vol.1” that I found in Steinberg’s site…
-To install the Halion 5 Upgrade.
-To install Cubase 7.0.5 (full download)…

NOTHING. That layer’s don’t sound, and they are WHAT I LIKE MOST (all the XLL brass sounds and others). I can’t play them because only sound at fortissimo velocity. All the time getting error messages (“missing files”…).

Can anybody help us?

PLEASE STEINBERG: let us download the Halion 5 Full with all the sample content, as we can download Cubase 7. I’ve paid a lot licenses for this…

  • Mm, somebody said, that files could be in Cubase 6.5 DVD… If I find it I help you.

I’VE SOLVED THE MISSING SAMPLES AND LAYERS OF MY HALION 5 UPDATE!

I was looking at my old HDD, in c: / Program Data / Steinberg / Halion SSE / Content Installed (is a hidden folder), and I’ve found 7 files that was missing after my install by this procedure: Halion Sonic - Halion 4 update - Halion 4.5.4 Update - Halion 5 update.

You can find it too on the two DVD’s of Halion Sonic Trial 1.5 that came with Cubase 6.5. You just have to copy them.

This are the files:

  • FCP_SMT_92_HS_Brass_Add_01.vstsound
  • FCP_SMT_93_HS_Winds_Add_01.vstsound
  • FCP_SMT_94_HS_Sax_Add_01.vstsound
  • FCP_SMT_95_HS_Trumpet_Add_01.vstsound
  • FCP_SMT_96_HS_Muted_Trumpet_Add_01.vstsound
  • FCP_SMT_97_HS_Trombone_Add_01.vstsound
  • FCP_SMT_98_HS_Flugelhorn_01.vstsound

1,14 Gb in total. I think this are the files that came in a second link in the Halion 4.5.4 update where Steinberg said: “first install Halion Update, next the bonus content”. This is still present at his website: http://www.steinberg.net/en/support/dow … ion_4.html, but for some strange reason Steinberg has removed the second link, giving headache and pain to his costumers like me :sunglasses:

I don’t know if this are the samples you are missing, but this brass layers where what I cared most. They are very high quality (a huge 1,14 Gb for only 7 presets), and add articulations (the left pads) in Halion (vibrato, flutter, falls, doits, shakes, etc.). They are named in Halion as XXL (brass section XXL, trumpet XXL, etc.).

This are the VST sound I don’t have:

FCP_SMT_102 to 106
FCP_SMT_108 to 112 (HS? HSS? HAL?)
FCP_SMT_114 to 116
FCP_SMT_118 to 121
FCP_SMT_123 to 131
… and the last one I have, is 134 (granular synth 01).

Perhaps I have more files than I should, because I’ve done a lot of tries and copies from various sources… but I don’t care. What’s important to me, is that I’ve solved that lovely layers and articulations that I like so much. I’ve never uploaded any file big to the cloud. I’ve you need that seven “vstsound files”, can you tell me where and how to upload it? Thanks.

I still miss nylon guitars and harps… :unamused: I wonder: CAN ANYONE THAT HAS INSTALLED THE BOXED PRODUCT HALION 5 SHOW A COMPLETE LIST OF THE VSTSOUND FILES? FOR EXAMPLE, A SCREEN CAPTURE OF THAT FOLDER? I’m going crazy with this… I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Hi Steflor :wink: Can you explain me where did you get:

-“FCP_SMT_103_HAL_StraightNylonGuitar” and the rest of _HAL? (104,105,106)?

I suspect that this is the file that I don’t have, because a lot of labeled “nylon” presets don’t work in my Halion (missing files error).

I don’t have your “_PRESETS” (123, 124, 125, 126, 129, 130, 131), but I suppose that is because I didn’t buy the Absolute Collection and it’s synths… I also don’t have 121 nor 135, which I don’t know if they are important.

I had Halion 4.5.4 perfectly installed in my computer (updated from Halion Sonic), and at that time any preset failed. Now with this Halion 5 update, I get “missing files” with a lot of nylon guitars and harps… I suspect that people at Steinberg has added new presets for Halion 5, but hasn’t realized that the VSTSOUND files were’nt in Halion Sonic 1.5 or Halion 4.5.4, and only the people who buy the boxed product will make them sound :unamused:

I am having the same problems. Missing samples, and errors.
The solution above does not work for me.

I’m also having a missing samples problem. My path was Cubase 6 → Cubase 7 → Halion Sonic Trial 1.5 → Absolute VSTi Instrument Collection → Cubase 7.5 → Halion 5 Upgrade Offer. My system initially reports 40 missing files and displays a Halion 3 instrument for which many of the samples don’t exist. HS Factory also has the missing Macro Page problem. I was able to get the number of missing files down to 10 by searching my entire C: drive; however, even the instruments that now will load show “No Macro page available” in the Edit → Macro tab. I suspect Steinberg failed to consider all the possible valid upgrade scenarios that qualify for their offer.

The simple fix would be to offer those of us having problems a full installer download instead of the upgrade installer download.

I also got an error message regarding the FCP_SMT_057_HS_VST3_Presets_01.vstsound

I get three error messages in total:

FCP_SMT_057_HS_VST3_Presets_01.vstsound
FCP_SMT_099_HS_VST3_Presets_02.vstsound
FCP_SMT_106_HAL_VST3_Presets_01.vstsound

If someone knows where I can get these three, I would appreciate. I second the request for Steinberg to provide a full installer for HALion 5 to registered users. It doesn’t make sense to get these errors. I downloaded the full installer for Cubase 7.5 (the two DVDs) and these files are not there.
