I have a new Yamaha URX44V and am learning how use it in baby steps. To listen to Stand Alone VST Instruments I learned to use Windows Audio, but Halion 7, Halion Sonic, and Groove Agent, right now, I have no way the hear them. As usual, any help would be appreciated!
Hello,
If I am understanding you correctly, open Halion 7 ( this will be pretty much the same for all Steinberg standalones), click the preference icon ( gear wheel in upper right corner) and click the ASIO tab. I am assuming the URX44V has a ASIO driver that you can choose, or what ever one you have should be listed. Your audio output needs to go to the monitors you are listening to. Select the Output tab and make sure this is correct. Your MIDI input should be the URX44V. You can verify this by looking at to top left of Halion 7. Hope this guides you into getting what you need to accomplish.
Lol. I thought the URX44V was a Midi device. You probably have a midi device connected to the URX44. The process I described should be similar, but I am unsure what choices you will have for the midi input in Halion 7. Maybe it will list the one you are using?
Thanks for the reply, but, in a stand alone Vst, the only way I can get any of them to output, to the urx44v is using the Windows Audio driver, but the Steinberg vst’s, Halion, Groove Agent SE, cannot access that driver, just ASIO. I am looking for help from users that own a URX, interface and know how to use a different setting on the urx44v. I have had it for a week, and the learning curve is great, and instructions to use it are not comprehensive.
Did you install the Yamaha drivers?
Oops. My mistake! And a waste of my time
Yes, thanks!
In Windows, Settings > System > Sound, Do you have the Yamaha unit checked off as where to play sounds?
Then in Halion in the top left corner there are 2 drop-down boxes, one to pick what it uses for Input and another to pick what it uses for Output. Is the Yamaha unit selected as the output?
Thanks, yes, all my other Vst instruments about 45 Arturia, and cherry audio Rhodes work with Windows Audio, but not Steinberg because they won’t work with windows audio, and the URX44V is the problem. I need to know how to setup the URX to receive ASIO, but I can’ figure out how to. Sorry for the rant!
No, that is not correct. Most virtual instruments in standalone mode support ASIO too. And Steinberg products require it.

Install the driver for your interface.
The interface has an integrated hardware mixer, that could help to manage the instruments’ playback.
The Tools contain the ASIO driver.
