Halion Sonic 7 : Presets panel goes blank

Hi @wpostma,

while hoping that I understand you correctly: with HALion Sonic 7 and during its first install, there should also be an additional installation of an updated version of MediaBay.

Are you having these strange effects with HALion Sonic 7 in standalone mode, or within Cubase?

Perhaps you can also check inside Cubase if your MediaBay has all licensed content (- including that of HALion 6 -) found / visible / marked as active. Even in my Windows context, the HALion 7 (- full and Sonic, standalone and within Cubase -) VST instrument sometimes re-reads (refreshes) all “known” MediaBay content by itself, which can take a second or two. But then I can always access all my licensed *.vstsound content. One more thing is the included filtering (- tag buttons and manually -). Once one chooses any manual search filters (- or tags -), HALion’s internal MediaBay access will represent and use that filtering as any other database search function does:
so that, during a session, less content will be visible according to any choices made before. Once one removed the filters, all available content would become visible again.

It may not be visible at first sight, but there are two more functions in the HALion 7 (Sonic) MediaBay:
Reset Filter” and “Synchronize Filter Settings with Selected Slot”.
(please see screenshot)

Another thing: MediaBay can only find content that has been correctly registered, as it’s to be seen in Steinberg Library Manager. One should check this one too, whenever anything related to licensed MediaBay content seems to produce errors (or any unexpected content omissions).

Cheers,
Markus
