Steinberg Absolute 7 | Competitive crossgrade bundle with 35 virtual instruments and 194GB of sound content
A professional virtual instrument bundle covering composition, arranging, scoring, and sound design
Steinberg Absolute 7 Competitive CG is a virtual instrument bundle from Steinberg, built around the HALion 7 sampling and synthesis platform. It includes 35 plug-ins, 194GB of sound content, and 8,000+ presets, and supports AAX, AU, and VST formats for use in major digital audio workstations on Mac and Windows.
Compared with the traditional approach of buying drum kits, synthesizers, pianos, orchestral libraries, and world instruments separately, Absolute 7 combines multiple creative tools into a single package, allowing producers, composers, and sound designers to complete everything from rhythm and harmony to atmosphere shaping with a more consistent workflow. Compared with similar standalone sound libraries, Steinberg Absolute 7 stands out for its broader range of sounds, more complete application coverage, and strong integration with Cubase, Nuendo, Dorico, and other major hosts.
