Can't install x64 version of HALion Sonic 7.1.40 - Instrument

Fred_Parcells · August 11, 2025, 4:53pm

I have WoA with Cubase Pro 14.0.32 (arm64) and HALion Sonic 7.1.40 - Instrument (arm64) installed. Cubase works fine.
I also have Dorico Pro 6.0.22 (x64). When I open Dorico I get a warning box:

When I try to install the x64 version of HALion Sonic 7.1.40 - Instrument, I get a warning saying “Another platform version of this product is already installed”.

What is best practice for getting sounds in Dorico with this configuration?

I apologize in advance if this topic has already been covered.

Thanks
Fred

Hi @Fred_Parcells ,

Dorico is not officially WoA compatible, yet, but you can make it work in emulation mode. In that case you need to install the x64 versions of HALion Sonic and Groove Agent SE.

Please also have a look at my recent posting here

Hi Ulf
I was able to install x64 HALion Sonic Intel using the installer from your post. When I tried the same with Groove Agent SE 5.2.20 · Application Installer · 211 MB I get the warning:

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks

What if you first uninstall the other Groove Agent SE plug-in and then run the x64-installer again?

Apparently I needed to uninstall the arm versions of both HALion Sonic and Groove Agent SE. Then install the x64 versions. Cubase (arm) has no problem using the x64 versions so now I have sounds for both Cubase (arm) and Dorico (x64).

Thanks for your help.
