- HALion Sonic is Steinberg’s premier VST workstation, featuring the latest sampling and synthesis technologies, a world-class library and an intelligent user interface that excels in the studio as well as on stage.
- Padshop Pro introduces a new way of granular sound design. Get yourself ready for out-of-this-world atmospheres and far-out effects.
- Zero Gravity is the exceptional expansion pack for Padshop Pro and comes with 250 new presets and a fully loaded new SoftGrain Wave ROM.
- Retrologue offers old-school analog synth sounds and biting sonic blocks and is ideal for creating fat and funky lead and bass sounds.
- Hypnotic Dance is a treasure trove for electronic music producers with solid bass lines, cutting leads and beautifully textured pads.
- Triebwerk is the go-to choice for club-worthy dance sounds including soaring synths, four-to-the-floor drum kits and queasy vocals.
- Dark Planet is best-suited for cinematic scores and musical excursions, comprising creepy sounds, shattering loops and eerie instruments.
Steinberg Absolute VST collection is available now, for Mac & Windows in VST 3, VST 2 and AU formats. It is priced at 299 EUR.
Retrologue available without Cubase? 😛
Just bought this the other day for my Cubase 6.5 as a download. It’s amazing! My favorite part of it is Dark Planet, it’s great for making my stuff seem a bit more grungier and darker, but with warmth. The sounds for Dark Planet, Triebwerk, and Hypnotic Dance are all usable in Halion Sonic, and they all work great with each other. It’s been an extension of creative space that I’ve really been needing lately. I highly suggest it if you make EDM, it’s synth and drum heaven.
