Introduction
About Programs, Layers, Multis, Macro Pages, and Presets
VST Sound Instrument Sets and Macro Pages
VST Sound Instrument Sets from Steinberg provide additional content for VST
instruments based on the HALion technology. They come with their own Edit pages,
called Macro pages, that feature a customized look and a collection of controls that
match the functions of the VST Sound Instrument Set. When you edit a program or
layer of a certain VST Sound Instrument Set, the accompanying Macro page opens.
For details on the functions and controls of a particular Macro page, please read the
documentation that comes with the corresponding VST Sound Instrument Set.
Missing Content
There may be situations in which a content file becomes unavailable. The reason can
be a closed encrypted partition or a detached removable hard drive, for example. In
these cases, you will be prompted that a specific VST Sound Library cannot be found.
To access the content again, proceed as follows:
1. Click Ignore.
HALion Sonic is loaded, containing the content that could be found.
2. Quit HALion Sonic.
3. Reattach the removable hard drive or reopen the encrypted partition.
4. Launch HALion Sonic.
If content files are missing for another reason (e. g. if you moved them onto another
hard drive after installation, or if you have added a hard drive, thereby “shifting” the
partitions), proceed as follows:
1. In the window with the message regarding the missing VST Sound Library, click
Locate.
file dialog opens, allowing you to choose a different file location.
2. Browse to the directory where the content is located.
3. Select the file and click Open.
All content files in this location become available.
• Click Remove if you do not want HALion Sonic to search for a particular file in the
future.
Ö
You can activate the “Do not ask again” option if you want to ignore or remove all
missing files at once.
