I came to the forum to say that after upgrading C14 → C15 everthing selected, I don’t see Writing Room Synths in Halion Sonic’s MediaBay panel at the side. I only see All, Flux, Iconica Sketch, Sonic Selection, and Trip? Is that right for a full install? So I delved online a bit and ended up aski…

[image] saxobob: So I delved online a bit and ended up asking Claude (I know, sorry) - and it said use F5 MediaBay to add the install location Z:\Downloads\Steinberg to some scan path. However when I opened up the main MediaBay window - is this a superset of what Halion Sonic shows me? Why would…

You have to download the program, writing room synth. It’s a seperate download from the download manager under Cubase 15. When installed you’ll find it here. [image]

Writing Room Synths is not part of Cubase AI. Only Artist and Pro get it. What you started now is the trial version, which will prompt you in 30 or 60 days with “end of licence, please purchase”.

[image] saxobob: Thanks for your help everyone, I’m still not quite sure why Writing Room Synths couldn’t be installed within the Cubase AI 15 set of installs. Rob The Download manager’s page for “my products”, lists all program that you have a licence for. These you can download and use fre…

Ah! That’s it! I’d bought the upgrade and not input the serial number - when I saw Cubase AI 15 I assumed by buying the upgrade on my account it had auto-registered and that they’d added ‘AI’ to jump on that current bandwagon. Now after inputting the registration code/serial no. I see the same l…
