VST Sound Library "Apollo Presets" not found

Hi all,

I’ve used Cubase for nearly 30 years and when I open up files from a sufficiently long time ago I get this popup. I guess I had installed these at one point. Can anyone tell me how to either a) get Cubase to forget they ever existed, or b) reinstall them? I’ve googled and it seems like they’re no longer available on the Steinberg site, or anywhere else.

Hi @Bodegaempire,

both files…

Apollo.vstsound (225.259 KB)
Apollo_Presets.vstsound (1.122 KB)

…are accessible via the Steinberg Download Assistant:
(actual version: v1.39.3, also you should be logged in with your Steinberg ID)
.


.
Best wishes,
Markus

Thanks Markus - I’m downloading Apollo now. Is there an option to download the presets separately? I had a look around the different categories but only saw the whole app.

Hi again @Bodegaempire,

you’re welcome.

I’m afraid not. By using the Steinberg Download Assistant (SDA) utility, you should always get both (or more) corresponding *.vstsound container files in one and the same named download (but in case of *.vstsound content files rather not inside a ZIP archive, as they are already in a compact data format named [file_name].vstsound).

So, for Apollo: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

  • samples (bigger in size) and presets (much smaller in size) inside a package folder.

Not sure if there ever was a dedicated sub-webpage by Steinberg that might’ve been explicitly created to enable direct downloads of both of those Apollo’s (Padshop) content files. Many years ago sometimes there were such direct download sub-pages, but that was with Steinberg’s old service website environment. Sometimes this still works for some legacy software products, though.

Cheers,
Markus
