Hello, I bought in February 2011 halion sonic. my time to ask for a Steinberg HALion 4 were not able to answer. now it will be released soon but probably …
It would be very nice if it would be an update for users of sonic halion to give halion 4 …
Wow, I was just beginning to regret my HalionSonic purchase. If it is true that I can upgrade to H4 for $100, I am going to be one happy Steinberg fanboi.
Actually there is no secrecy about it. There will definitely be an update from HALion 3 and an upgrade from HALion Sonic for just EUR 99 (including Tax). And considering all the functionality you get with HALion 4 its a really nice deal.
Great to hear about the update from Halion Sonic to Halion 4!!! Halion 4 looks like a beast of a sampler and sound designing powerhouse and it’s integration with Cubase is of chief interest to me since I just upgraded to Cubase 6. Thaswasup!!!
I don’t think Halion Sonic SE is time limited, but it’s not as good as Halion Sonic. My Cubase 6 came with a Halion Sonic demo disc set, AKA the full version without a permanent license. In any case, I see, I’ll have to purchase Halion 4 standalone, which should be $250 am I correct?
EDIT: My price estimate is very low isn’t it? I checked on Google and apparently it will cost even more than Halion Sonic, which is $250. What is the actual price?
The retail version of HALion 4 will be sold for EUR349. Currently we are discussing the update from HALion 2 and I am sure that we will find a solution.
