This download page is only intended for cases where the Steinberg Download Assistant cannot be used for technical reasons.

Requirements for installations without Steinberg Download Assistant

Before installing any software available below, the following utilities must be installed or updated:
Steinberg Activation Manager macOSWin x64WoA
Steinberg Library Manager macOSWin x64
Steinberg MediaBay macOSWin x64
Optional download for Windows: Steinberg built-in ASIO Driver

Installation of content resp. Content Sets

  • Download the desired content resp. Content Set. 
  • Content generally consists of vstsound files. Content containing multiple vstsound files is being provided as an ISO disk image. ISO disk images can be easily mounted as virtual volumes by double-click.
  • Double-click on one of the downloaded vstsound files.
  • The Steinberg Library Manager will be started automatically and offers the installation of all vstsound files in the same folder.
  • When downloading several content titles, it is good practice to move all vstsound files to the same folder first. In this way all vstsound files can be installed by a single double-click.

About SpectraLayers 12 on Windows on Arm
  • Both the WoA version and the Win x64 version are installed on a WoA system.
  • SpectraLayers 12 does not support Arm64EC. Therefore, the Win x64 version of the SpectraLayers ARA plug-in will be loaded in Cubase 15 and other host applications that support Arm64EC.
  • The stand-alone version of SpectraLayers 12 runs natively on WoA.
