Thanks for this. If you have the control room activted, see my previous post. Beside this, here, the tool works as expected on MIDI parts, whether in ‘Play’ or ‘Scrub’ mode. Something strange is going on…
Well, a little step further… I deactivated the control room and set both my headphones and monitor speakers on the same ASIO out 1/2 pair. Result : everything is working as expected, both audio events and MIDI parts can be played/scrubbed with the dedicated tool.
So, the control room is definitely involved. In the preferences ‘VST/Control room’ page, ticking the ‘Use phones channel as preview channel’ option makes the audio event scrubbed signal to go to my headphones and unticking it leads the signal to the ‘Control room’ one.
Seems logical, but this doesn’t explain why, when scrubbing on a MIDI part, both busses of the control room receive a signal and when scrubbing on an audio event, only the ‘Control room’ bus OR the ‘Phones’ one receives it. Seems like a bug to me…
Steiny ?
Unfortunately it isn’t fixed. 
Has anybody succeeded in updating to 6.5.5 on XP?
It doesn’t seem to work here (6.5.4 is fine although officially unsupported).

First unpack the installer with winrar. Run the individual updaters. Worked on XP64
Thanks Vinark a good idea.
I downloaded the update file from another computer and moved it to my music system. When I right-clicked, it showed the file as blocked. That’s the first time I’ve seen that. Anyway, once unblocked, the file then opened the update, but still wouldn’t work.
I tried Winrar without success, but then moved to a Win7 system, this extracted the individual updaters without problem.
Then, back on my music system, the updates ran.
Why still XP? somebody might ask…well, I built this system a few years ago and it has been superb, still competing very effectively with far newer computers. To switch and make a meaningful upgrade would mean spending at least £1000 including upgrade to Cubase 7. Also days of upheaval and downtime. I am in the music business to make money, not spend it, so I continue to hold back for the time being.
Thanks again Vinark

Great!
Same reasons for XP64 here. It works and is fast. Even Cubase 7 works on it…Sssshhhht!
OK, the scrubber tool from the Project tool bar does work now, and on the same project that it didn’t work on before.
And I am going through the CR output, nothing tricky, no dual bus or headphone routing, just the main outputs routed to the CR as per usual.
I open the scrub tool, left click on the track (where I want to hear playback) and then scroll left or right with my trackball. FWIW, I use the Kensington Expert Mouse. One thing of note, the audio - as you scroll backwards - occurs at the start of the midi note, not along it’s sustained path. Understand? In other words, scrolling backwards it just plays the attack. I have no idea if this is typical. Going forward, left to right, as I start the scrub and continue from the start of the note(s) to the end, it will sound the entire section. If, however, I start in the middle of the note(s) (after the attack area) I will hear no sound. until I reach the attack of the following note(s).
As to the scrub feature on the jog wheel, it still doesn’t produce audio as I scrub the midi track. Overall, I think this is inconvenient, but maybe what I end up with is what the ‘fix’ entailed, a toolbox scrub feature that works on midi.
Same here. On two ‘puters.
+1 So far.

Best recent example is Halion 4 ,
strangely i still feel the basic tones of Hypersonic 2 were far superior, or does my sound card sucks!!! Edirol UA 101 and Delta 44 ??? or m i missing or doing something drastically wrong ??? just compared the Rodes DX 7 piano … what a big difference in the older sampled velocities…n timber . !!! sm
Since the release there have only been a few posts
(and mostly by the same users).
So guys (everyone else),
How’s the 6.5.5 update woikin’ for ya?
Perfectly?
New probs?
Old probs?
Same old same old probs?
{‘-’}
I haven’t noticed anything different. No crashes but I rarely had them before.
My C7 trial expires tomorrow. I think I will be staying put at 6.5.5 for the foreseeable future.
It’s going to take more than Curve EQ, a chord track and track pictures to get me to give up C6.5!
J.L.
from what i read B4 ,SB charges as u use the versions or paid up grades and 4 how long u use it … , i would with stay C 6.5 for now , and when the 7 gets perfected , as the like kinda a Beta Ver 8 comes out , i believe the upgrade to C 7 , would be cheaper , pls correct me if i m wrong … sm
As rock stable as 6.5.4 until now, four days after having installed it. I didn’t do so much straining things with it but did a lot of opening/closing mixer, editors, even different projects (some made with pre-C6 versions), opened different VSTis/FX windows (three of them VSTBridged), changed some preferences, VST connections settings and control room ones, adjusted things here and there, all this without a single crash.
Will stay with it for as long as I can and I am wondering if I shouldn’t definitely uninstall C7, at this point, as I know I won’t use it in a foreseeable furure…
The new mixer concept is brilliant for users of Nuage. There’s a (sorry - german only) video explaining the whole system in detail: YAMAHA Nuage - YouTube
If you ask yourself why certain things are realized the way they are in 7/6, just watch it, and most peculiar things will get clear. It all makes sense. With Nuage. Not without.
So the question is:
Where’s Baby-Nuage for mortals, half as many knobs, same width to adapt to a 24’’ screen, but only half as deep, no touch screen, but still 16 shorter motor faders, transport section, one unit to fit them all, for ~ 2.000.
For me 6.5.5 is just like 6.5.4, rock solid and a real pleasure to work with. 6.5 has become a straightforward and very mature DAW. Whether I use it in recording sessions or VST only production, it’s always there doing the job and never shouts for attention.
I did not encounter any new problems. I did notice some of the Bugbase’s confirmed problems are still there though. No showstoppers, it just looks a bit sloppy for a DAW of this quality and tells me 6.5.5 wasn’t very high on the priority list.
BIG letdown however is the ever standing issue with the Zplane Elastique Pro algorithm when transposing an audio event. It renders Elastique Pro useless for this task. For me this is pretty crucial.
So I hate to say it, but even in 2013 Steinberg live up to their reputation to leave great products unfinished at the end of their life cycle.
Too bad!
If Steinberg’s product development strategy was aimed more at evolution instead of revolution, I would have upgraded to Cubase 7 without blinking. For now, I’ll stick at the proven and rock solid 6.5.5
Tanx guys

Will install it in a while, studio is getting a break while I build myself a new desk.
Mine has been so seemless on 3 machines that honestly I don’t even notice any change. I am more of a midi only and I export my audio out to mix in another DAW so I never see some of the issues people talk about here. Mines flawless at this point.
