Steinberg Sequel 3 is free

[Cristian]

Funny enough, I can't seem to find any news articles on this !?
Sure, it's very old software by this point, but hey... it's free instead of $/€ 79.99 ?

I was messing around with the Download Assistant and saw Sequel 3 under "Complimentary Products".
Turns out Steinberg decided to finally release a free DAW of their own, in a roundabout way.
No strings attached, just like Dorico SE or Halion Sonic SE.

Apparently this is a 32bit program and only supports VST3. So if you only use 32 bit VST3 plugins, you are good to go. Otherwise this makes it pretty pretty useless.

This is a good find if only for the 5GB of free loops. Being limited to 32 bit VST3s is quite the limitation, but there's included versions of Halion SE and Groove Agent One which are both pretty capable instruments.

 

Does anyone know if the paid Sequel expansions are already included inside of Cubase?

Those loops are in Steinberg's proprietary .vstsound format, so using them in other DAWs would be a lot of work - probably need to render each to wav files.
