I am sorry to hear that the news is missed and indeed, other users have requested bringing it back as well and we will consider improvements when it comes to spreading the news.
However, we analyzed the statistical usage and that part of the website was hardly every used. This is why we decided to focus on the Hubs in Cubase/Nuendo, the forum and social media. New product releases and vital statements will continue to be featured on the website, of course.
It’s interesting that the Halion platform is so burried, is this any indication that Steinberg is abandoning dedicated development of it? If not, it seems like it should be more of a featured spotlight product and have it’s own tab. It’s not just an ‘instrument’ but also a development/scripting software.
HALion is by no means abandoned. It is always a question of what to feature in a top navigation. There isn’t room for every product up there. That’s it, no breaking news, no secret abandonment
