I want to use Halion with Ableton 10, but ableton doesn´t support VST3. So I need the VST2 .dll file of Halion 6.
I have checked all the normal locations of VST plugin folders and have even tried to reinstall Halion, but it never gives me the option to download a VST2 version.
I have even tried renaming the VST3 file with a .dll extention, but this disn´t work.
Why do you assume there is a VST2 version? I don’t think Steinberg (creators of VST) are going to offer a current product with an outdated VST specification.
From what I can gather, since Ableton 10.1 VST3 is supported (I’m not an Ableton user).
If it’s not in either of these places give this a try…
Make a copy of the Halion 6.vst3 plugin into whatever is your favorite place for stashing your plugins. That should be somewhere in:
C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3
Rename it so the extension is dll instead of vst3.
