I don’t think I’d know how to reproduce this problem. It’s a real mystery. I’ve not yet tried a reset of Preferences and that often corrects the odd Cubase error that shows up from time to time. I was hoping to hear from someone about this before I took that step.
I only have Halison SE/3, so perhaps this is not an issue with the other instruments in the family. When I load HSSE3 as a stand alone, it seems to be in tune, but when it is placed in a Project – and 99.9 per cent of my projects include at least one instance of the instrument – it is out of tune. So, as it is now almost of not every project I’ve created over the last two years is now out of tune.
It just showed up out of blue and I have no insights into how or why the instruments went out of tune. In addition, I think there is also tuning problems with other Steinberg instruments now as well. It isn’t only HSSE. Since this only showed up about 48 hours ago I haven’t fully checked everything. In HSSE 3 all the patches sound flat, but not by a set number of cents. The whole tuning sounds wrong but is consistently flat but can not be re-tuned with the tuning slider. It is the instrument’s tuning itself which has gone wrong. Nice Strats sound off, the great sounding saxes sound strange and flat, pianos are all flat, but, again, it’s not a consistent flatness. basses are flat and they all are, apparently, by different amount.
I posted on the Issue section of the Halion forum and I’d really like to hear from someone in tech support about this. I’ve not yet opened a ticket on this.
During the last updates something called “impulses” was updated. I wonder if that, perhaps, has something to do with this? That’s a total guess on my part. I have no idea what the “impulses” update was all about, I just noticed it taking place during the update from HSSE 2 to HSSE 3.
I hope someone has some assistance with this.
My best,
Stephen
