I still tend to think Halion's issues are graphics and GUI related, not BIAB's fault. Had problems again with volume changes controlled by Cubase; NoGo.

Before it worked fine, but i had to reinstall some old plugin, and some doggone old Visual Basic 2008 C+++ overwrote something probably that was OK earlier i guess. Wish that all these software makers get their acts together, and the culprit of all is of course Micros ****.

Hi,

I spent a big chunk on Halion 6 on Friday, and on Halion Sonic today, trying different styles and patches, and changing volumes, filter settings, envelopes effects, etc, and haven't been able to trigger a crash yet.

If anyone is still having trouble with these plugins, please let me know. I have Sonic installed, and am happy to keep trying to replicate the problem if needed.

Thanks
Kent

Thnx for the offer ... i occasionally only have problems with midi controllers, and can't get my finger behind it why it works at times. Some Steinberg forum posters also mention similar issues.

PS you know the trick how to keep all the large *.vstsound Halion files off your boot drive C's user or common files folders? Do a search, cut/paste them elsewhere, create shortcuts for them there, and cut/paste the shortcuts only back to the original location where the large files were before. F

Another thing that could be crashing Sonic for some users is NVIDIA Video card driver. I had severe crash issues with Sonic standalone and VST. Tried many things, but then gave up and sent crash log to Halion team in Germany.

Their solution worked. Pasting from email:

I have heard back from the team in Germany, they found crashes in the Nvidia card, windows components and dependencies.

They are recommending initializing preferences for Halion Sonic (See link below for initializing preferences), then repair of the 2017 redistributable and the .net framework. Also they recommend reinstalling the Nvidia Driver.

The instructions for clearing preferences are below. The instructions are writing for Cubase but apply to most of our software.


Instructions for Initializing preferences, go to the section on initializing preferences.

I've been using Halion Sonic (I have the full Halion 6, but this is a lightweight way to have a GM synth and I'm pretty sure the GM-designated sounds in Sonic are the same as in the full Halion). I use it in GM mode as the BIAB default synth. It has worked great so far, but the one thing I recently noticed (this morning) is if I change instruments on a track at a specific bar (using F5), it seems to take a beat before it kicks in. So on beat 1, I hear the previous instrument and then the new instrument on beat 2. It would be great if someone could check that out on their system.

I noticed that some times a persistent patch change was impossible to remove from the (multichannel) melody track in BIAB. You could check that in the pianoroll editor window, select the track and adjust the info from velocity to program changes ..

Added info: happens especially with imported midi files i think, the fix used i done is editing out the program changes in Cubase first.

I'll do that, but I know that when I imported the MIDI from my notation program, I deselected patch changes, so that I could set them from the BIAB program rather than having them hard written to the MIDI stream.
