Other updates to the HALion family include HALion Sonic 7, which is now the free player for HALion libraries and replaces HALion Sonic SE.

Contentīesides the new FM Lab, HALion 7 also ships with Tales, a new open-tuned guitar, where each string is individually sampled as open notes and tuned to different pitches, plus recording articulations like muted notes and harmonics. Improved menus, zones and icons, the optional auto-size for macro view and preconfigured screen sets for different use cases also make using HALion faster and more intuitive. Its uncluttered structure and context-sensitive search make browsing for the right samples, layers, programs and presets more efficient.

The update includes a re-crafted interface, a redesigned MediaBay, and many workflow improvements.Īllowing for easier access to HALion’s content and controls. It now comes with a fresh new look and feel. This was necessary, in my opinion, I found the UI a bit old-fashioned for a long time. Steinberg has also given HALion 7 a new user interface. Other new features are 10 new effects, a decompose function, an X-LFO, chord export from the trigger, pads, impulse response import, and a new oscilloscope. So you can craft your own modulation signals, which makes the whole thing very versatile.įor easier workflows, HALion now features new modulation rows, allowing users to click directly on the modulation destination or source for further edits, as well as assigning modulation sources by easy drag and drop. It includes new shaper envelopes, and the user envelope now has brush, pen, and eraser tools for intuitively drawing and customizing envelopes. Shape, tweak, and animate your sounds more easily than ever with HALion’s new modulation concept, says Steinberg in the press release. Then, you can benefit from a makeover of the modulation engine. Plus, you benefit from spectral filters from the new spectral zone, unlocking new sound design possibilities.

It now supports wavetables with up to 1024 individual waves, and multi-channel files with up to 5.1 surround. HALion 7 also brings an update for the built-in wavetable synth engine. You can manipulate your content using features like formant shift, spectral filter, purity, and inharmonicity-terms known from other spectral synths. Steinberg promises that it also works great in extreme settings. The Spectral Zone, on the other side, is a spectral oscillator powered by a newly developed time stretch and resynthesis algorithm. An instrument that doesn’t go as deep as the actual engine is, therefore, more approachable and playable for players. Plus, it has a multi-effects processor with 20 algorithms, an impressive set of modulators, and a creative arpeggiator. It has 8 operators and comes with algorithms from the DX7, FM-X, and TX81Z. You can craft sounds ranging from classic DX-7 tones to modern FM sounds.Īt the same time, Steinberg has unveiled with FM Lab, a new virtual instrument demonstrating the power of the new FM zone. So you can use them as carriers or modulators or send them to feedback loops. FM & Spectral ZoneįM Zone is a new FM Synthesizer block combining up to 8 operators that can be configured in a flexible algorithm designer. For the first time, HALion users can immerse themselves in the rich digital sound worlds via the new FM and spectral zones. You get everything you had before, plus many new features and improvements. HALion 7 is the continuation of the HALion 6 sampler plugin. With HALion 7, Steinberg has released the next generation with lots of new synthesis power, a new interface, and no dongle drama. Steinberg’s counterpart has been HALion for many years, which I have never used, mainly because of its hardware dongle policy. I love UVI Falcon 2 for its synthesis depth and NI Kontakt for its endless number of third-party libraries. They squeeze many powerful synthesis and sampling functions into one all-in-one sound generator.

Multi-engine Synthesizer workstation plugins are real sound laboratories in software. Steinberg HALion 7 is out now, a major update for its flagship sampler with a new FM and spectral synth engine, more advanced modulations, and more.
