Since its
launch in 2001, Steinberg HALion has been pushing back boundaries in
virtual samplers. HALion 3 is no exception: over 50 new features ensure
that HALion stays where it always has been: at the forefront of digital
audio technology. Building on the outstanding surround-capable HALion
2.0 sampling engine with support for up to 32-bit floating point files,
Steinberg HALion 3 adds even more capabilities. An output routing
system allows you to create and configure the audio outputs; only the
outputs you need will be routed directly to the host VST mixer. The
sleek user interface is not only easy on the eyes but has been
restructured to keep switching between the different Steinberg HALion 3
views to a minimum.
Check out the
improvements in Steinberg HALion 3 sampler software:
File browser with drag and drop support, favorites system, sound
categorization and database indexing. An impressive set of powerful
sound management tools gives you a clear overview over all your sound
files. The intuitive sound categories system lets you group related
sounds, making it easy to find them quickly!
Dazzling Insert and Send Effects section - 27 quality effects encompass
just about any effect requirement. They can be applied to individual
samples, sample groups, or entire programs. Effect sends can be sent to
HALion's internal FX section or even directly to the VST mixer to share
plug-in resources between the host and HALion.
Steinberg HALion 3 sample software now offers RAMSaveT, a feature
created to keep in check the RAM resources needed by even the most
extensive sample instruments, resulting in low RAM usage and faster
project load and save times, a boon for pro users using large,
intricate sampled instruments such as big orchestral patches or large
drum kits. Alternate mode adds a range of functions, including playing
a different sample with each new Note On message, introducing more
spontaneity and feeling, especially useful for realistic drum-sounds or
string bow up/down action.
Even more file formats - Steinberg HALion 3 adds support for Kurzweil
and Kontakt sounds as well as for the Zero-X BeatCreator and
BeatQuantizer Groove-Slice formats. You can find a 15-day limited Demo
version of ZeroX BeatQuantizer in the 3rd party Demo folder on the DVD.
Sleek and clean user interface: HALion 3.1 explains its intuitive GUI
with the improved ToolTip Help. Presets let you recall frequently used
settings for envelopes, modulations and FX. Many views can be opened in
separate windows.
