Steinberg is celebrating the 30th anniversary of VST and the 25th anniversary of the HALion platform with attractive discounts and free updates - including HALion 7.5.
This summer, Steinberg is marking two significant anniversaries: Virtual Studio Technology (VST) turns 30, and the HALion synthesizer and sampler platform celebrates its 25th anniversary. Both developments have had a lasting impact on digital music production and are now among the industry’s most important technologies.
To mark this double anniversary, the free HALion 7.5 update has been released for existing users. Among other things, the new version expands the platform with MPE support, real-time decompose, and Spectral Snapshot, as well as numerous other improvements. At the same time, several classic VST instruments are making a comeback as fully VST-3-compatible versions. The free Steinberg Classics Collection, featuring classics such as LM7, Neon, CS-40, VB-1, and Karlette, has been revamped. The VST SDK has also been updated with additional MIDI 2.0 features and further optimizations.
