Halion7 and GrooveAgent5 full version not shown as playback templates

Hello everyone,

yesterday I bought Absolute 6 full version and Cubase 13 Pro and everything is installed with all components by Download Manager and activated (under Windows 11).

But in Dorico Pro 5 I still only see Halion Sonic and others like e.g. Noteperfomer 4, Ionica Sketch and Olympus elements as playback templates.

All libraries are on the same SSD, so I thought Dorico Pro 5 should recognize the new full version and offer it as a playback template. And Halion 7 it does not appear under program/edit/preferences/play/playback template.

What do I have to do to be able to use the full version of Halion 7 or Absolute 6 full version as playback template within Dorico Pro 5?

Thank you very much for any help!

You would have to create your own Playback Templates for these.

Thank you very much for your answer, Janus. I tried that, but I don’t know how to find the full version of Halion7 when trying to create an own template there, because Halion 7 doesn’t appear under “add manual” or “add automatic”. Am I probably looking in the wrong place (Play/Playback Template/Add Playback Template/+/Add manual/Add automatic")?

You need to treat Halion 7 just like any other 3rd party VST.

Before you can create a Playback Template, you need to set up a project using Halion 7, with all the correct Expression Maps applied to your instruments and use that to create an Endpoint.

There are video tutorials on how to do this.

Ah, OK. Great, I was successful now, but will watch some tutorials soon again. Thank you so much and have a nice day! I have another question about Dorico with Noteperformer later. But that is a different topic :wink:
