![]() ![]() On 1 April 2009, Steinberg released the version 3.5 update to HALion, which introduced 64-bit support. Īt Musikmesse 2006, Steinberg announced a specific version of the software, known as the HALion Symphonic Orchestra, which included the samples to represent a full orchestra. By the year 2004, it had reached version 3. The first version of HALion was released by Steinberg in 2001. HALion can be used either as a standalone application, or as a VST, AU, or AAX (Avid Audio eXtension for Pro Tools) plug-in within digital audio workstation software. It can also use multiple forms of sound synthesis to produce other software synthesizer audio. It uses a sample-based approach to emulate the acoustic sounds of a full orchestra, such as the strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections, with multiple configurations for each instrument, allowing for variations in timbre. HALion is a software instrument application, created by German music software company Steinberg for macOS and Windows. With plenty of well articulated acoustic and electric instrument sounds in a wide range of styles, HALion 5 is also a great choice for musicians and composers./en /products /vst /halion _und _halion _sonic /halion. It also integrates perfectly with Cubase, WaveLab and Steinberg hardware. Content is plentiful, too, with a newly expanded 15 GB library containing over 2,500 factory instruments and a huge collection of Yamaha FlexPhrases. It’s deep but easy to use with a highly flexible internal routing system but without being the slightest bit intimidating. Get Creative If you’re a producer or aspiring sound designer who likes digging deep and creating your own sounds HALion 5 is an excellent choice. The MegaTrig system makes for easy programming of playing styles and articulations. If you can live without destructive audio editing, for existing users the many new features mentioned above are very good reasons to upgrade. Nine new effects have been added to the existing arsenal: a VST guitar amp, Wah Wah, Auto Filter, Ring Modulator, Tape Saturator, Step Flanger, Vintage Ensemble (classic ensemble modulation effects), Envelope Shaper and Octaver. A new organ, the Model C, takes full advantage of the new tone-wheel engine and B-Box is a classic step sequencer for beats and drum tracks. ![]() Mellotron emulators are plentiful these days but HALiotron takes the sonic possibilities a step further with a set of synthesis parameters for modern music production requirements. Always useful for media productions, the inclusion of fifty melodic world instruments will prove a valuable addition to many a composer’s arsenal as will the new world percussion. ![]() Plenty of Punch Eight new instruments have appeared including three very useful synths: Trium, created for modern rich sounds, Voltage, a punchy vintage analogue synth and Auron, for creating floaty granular pads. On the MIDI front there’s a new MIDI Player and Drum Player both of which can be edited and triggered remotely with a Trigger Pad and the FlexPhraser has a new user mode with faders for setting velocity and pitch in up to 32 steps, plus two controller lanes for filters and effects. That said, most DAWs provide decent audio editing, especially Cubase 7, which integrates very well with HALion 5. Sample manipulation remains excellent, of course, but destructive editing facilities are still missing, which means using an offline external editor such as WaveLab. ![]()
