To celebrate the 30th anniversary of VST and the 25th anniversary of HALion, Steinberg have updated various classic plugins with VST3 support, available for FREE!!
Introduced by Steinberg in 1996, VST was designed to create a professional studio
environment for PC and Mac computers, allowing the seamless integration of virtual
instruments, effects, and audio processing tools into any VST host application.
This groundbreaking format gave developers a standardized, open way to create plug-ins
that could run inside compatible DAWs, as well as enabling audio creators and producers to radically expand their production capabilities, revolutionizing digital music production and quickly becoming an industry standard.
Debuting in the year 2001, HALion has evolved into a state-of-the-art professional synth and sampler platform. The latest version features six different types of synthesis, a highperformance sample engine, a wide range of effects, scripting and much more, offering almost unlimited potential to musicians and sound designers, as well as allowing developers to build complex instruments and sample libraries with unique user interfaces.
From August 4 to August 24, an anniversary sale is offering discounts of between 50% and
60% on HALion and a wide range of VST instruments for Mac and Windows-based DAWs.
These include the Backbone drum re-synthesizer, Etude grand piano library, and Iconica
Ensembles orchestral collection, along with a wide range of inspiring instrument and vocal
libraries from HALion partner developers.
Steinberg’s engineers have also gone back to the future by creating the free Steinberg
Classics Collection. Now updated to the latest VST 3 standard, this comprises several of the
first Steinberg VST plug-ins, including the LM7 retro drum sample unit, the CS-40 and Neon synthesizers, the VB-1 bass instrument, and Karlette vintage tape delay.
