My laptop, used occasionally when traveling, has a small drive that’s too full. So I deleted Halion off my computer. I’ve tried using DoricoBeep, but am not hearing anything. I’m a frequent user of all Dorico modes except Play.
Can I use DoricoBeep to hear the score and check the notes, all as one sound quality? Or is that not its intended function?
If so, what do I need to change so I can hear it? I’m using Dorico 4.3.
In Play mode, I tried changing Routing → HALion Sonic SE to DoricoBeep, with no sounds heard.
In theory it should be possible, but at the moment I’m not at a computer that can launch Dorico, so I can’t check. In early versions of Dorico that was possible, I just don’t know if DoricoBeep gets listed in the drop down menu in Play mode where you can add VSTinstruments instances. So if you can instantiate DoricoBeep, then you should be able to reassign each player to send MIDI to DoricoBeep(s) instead of HALion Sonic.
And if that does not work, you could just use the GM presets of HALion Sonic and delete all the other contents. The GM sounds are really tiny in comparison to all the other stuff (like HALion Symphonic Orchestra)
Yes, you reinstall HALion Sonic and then you only need the HS SE Basic contents pack. It is best to open the Steinberg Library Manager and to remove unwanted contents from there.
Does the new Iconica Sketch use less space on my (very full) disk drive? If so, can I minimize HALion’s size somehow? I’m not seeing anything about Iconica here in Steinberg Library Mgr:
I know that you helped me to get the Doricobeep working.
However, the prog1 for Doricobeep, should give very high first, and the rest at lover. But here is the thing. Even when it says it uses prog1, it sound identical to prog2. Changing to prog2, and then back to prog1, changes the sound, and I got the beep as I want. Tried to save then, but when I start playback from the beginning, it gives me the same problem all over.
It is quite irritating, needing to change this at the beginning for every playback. Expecially when someone else are going to hear the beep, and I need to start playing at the same time.
I even changed to prog2, and then back to prog1, then tried to save that as default. But no. Prog2 beepsound keeps on winning.
Any good ideas?
You should find you can change the beep sound on the Click page of Library > Playback Options, without needing to change any of the settings in DoricoBeep itself at all.
