As a Christmas present for my kids, I bought the Novation Lauchkey Mini (comes with Ableton Lite) along with the Steinberg UR12 (which comes with Cubase AI8 which has Halion Sonic SE2). It was my understanding that the Halion was a VST instrument and would show up in Abelton. Thus far, I have not found a way to get it to show up. They are both 64 bit programs. I have tried to point to VST3 folder and every other folder I can think of to no avail.
