SIMPLE is a forward-thinking polyphonic synthesizer based on ease-of-use and maximum capability; powered by Steinberg’s HALion Engine. SIMPLE carves its own legacy by reintroducing synthesis from a musical perspective. SIMPLE’s intelligent design, flexible Modulation Matrix, unrivaled Super Tone emulation, minimal effort Super Voice engine, SIMPLE control and comprehensive high-quality effects combines and automates the synthesis process, creating and easier workflow where musicians can tap into the control and depth that synthesis provides, while minimizing technical work so you can get back to what’s most important—creating music.


Installation Instruction


After your purchase, you will be sent a ELicenser Activation code to your email. This code will allow you to download your purchase from the Steinberg Download Assistant.


If you don’t own a license for HALion 6 or HALion Sonic 3, you can use HALion Sonic SE 3, which is available for free. HALion Sonic SE 3 is also included in Cubase 9.5 and newer. So, if you have Cubase 9.5 or newer, HALion Sonic SE 3 is already installed and, if necessary, only needs to be updated to the latest version.
