I’ve purchased the halion Sonic play workstation inside cubasis Android to find out that it’s a clone of the halion Sonic selection workstation, meaning I’ve now purchased the halion Sonic workstation for the second time which is not fair, Steinberg could have made it a free update for subscribers who have already purchased the halion Sonic selection and only include the expansion patches for purchase not this thing of making us purchasing the thing twice, now I’m not comfortable purchasing anything inside cubasis, I wanted to purchase the iconic sketch,velve and etude but after this incident It a red flag from me, this is unfair what am I going to do now with the halion Sonic selection since all it sounds banks are available in the updated halion Sonic play
Hi @Georgia_Spiridopoulo,
I am a iPad user and I have also purchased HALion Sonic Play (HSP), Sonic Selection is now part of HSP and is labelled as Factory Presets but it is not a clone, it you look at my screenshot you will see many user controllers along with a programmable Arpeggiator, these are not available in the original Sonic Selection, these new features are available by tapping on the icon’s circled in red.
HSP is also AUv3, I can use all the 2000 presets in standalone and inside other DAWs, I am not sure how this would work out on Android devices.

HSP has the exact same dna as HSS..
He is not wrong in calling it a clone imo..
A clone in programming/digital terms mostly indicates a carbon copy but if you use it in organic/biological terms then he isnt wrong.
It’s just a matter of interpertation. (of the word ‘clone’).
Hi @CJ_Monster,
In that respect you are right, I was not sure if HSP controllers on Android was different to iOS.

We hope this helps clarify the available options and the benefits of HALion Sonic Play.
