I’m having a sticky time with this (full version, not SE - upgrade from Hypersonic).
First installed back in feb along with C6. no problems, except that I also installed the HSO demo, and after that expired I could no longer open HS (or indeed any projects with HS in them) because I got an Invalid License error.
eventually manually got rid of anything saying Halion SOnic of my Mac, and could then open projects.
I have now deactivated the HSO demo in the eLicenser.
BUT I have today tried 3 times to re-install Halion Sonic. It all goes as normal, and the Installer reports Successful, but HS isn’t in the VST list in Cubase or Nuendo, and when I try to open the standalone version, I get “Plugin Halion Sonic not found - please re-install it…”
I have looked in the Library>Audio>Plugins>VST>Halion Sonic>Halion Sonic.vst folder, and there is nothing inside. Why wouldn’t the Installer install the plug-in?
i suppose it was optimistic to expect any response in this little-visited backwater of the Steinberg website.
I am rather disappointed though to receive NO response to my email to Tech Support on the subject, other than an automated acknowledgement on 27th June.
I have a COMPLETELY USELESS PRODUCT here - amongst thousands of pounds’ worth of other Steinberg products - could I get a little SERVICE please?
Thank you for that.
Lets try the following to uninstall completely HS from your computer and then please do a clean reinstall.
Please follow these instructions:
Please remove the following files from the following location:
Mac HD / Applications / Halion Sonic
Mac HD / Users / / Library / Preferences / Halion Sonic
Mac HD / Users / / Library / Preferences / Halion Sonic Standalone
Mac HD / Library / Audio / Plug-ins / VST / Halion Sonic
Mac HD / Library / Audio / Plug-ins / VST3 / Steinberg / Halion Sonic.vst3
Mac HD / Library / Audio / Plug-ins / Components / Halion Sonic.component
Mac HD / Library / Application Support / Steinberg / Halion Sonic
Mac HD / Library / Application Support / Steinberg / Content / VST Sound /“FCP_SMT_xxx_HS_xxxxx.vstsound”
Mac HD / Library / Application Support / Steinberg / Content / Halion / VST Sound /“FCP_SMT_xxx_HS_xxxxx.vstsound”
Then open the terminal and follow these steps:
Open Terminal.app (found in /Appliations/Utilities)
Type and press enter: “cd /private/var/db/receipts”
Type and press enter: “open .” (with a space between open and the dot!)
Now a finder window opens with information about the installed packages.
You should delete all HALionSonic related .bom and .plist entries (not the HALionSonicSE entries!) :
I am using PC windows 10 and had the same problem.
Plugin Halion Sonic not found
I readed the solution for Mac users but this not works for me, as I use windows.
Can someone help me?
Best Regards
