Since its launch in 2001, 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. This latest version expands existing HALion capabilities
to new levels of accessibility and flexibility, creating a virtual sampler
environment that not only lets your creativity flourish, but lets you work
more productive and efficiently than ever before.
Building on the outstanding surround-capable HALion 2.0
sampling engine with support for up to 32-bit floating point files, HALion
3 adds even more new capabilities. A new 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 new user interface is not only easy
on the eyes but has been restructured to keep switching between the different
HALion 3 views to a minimum.
HALion 3 - most important news
- New file browser with drag and drop support, favourites system, sound
categorization and database indexing. An impressive set of powerful new
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 new 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.
- HALion 3 now offers RAMSave™, a new 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 - 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 explains its intuitive GUI with
the new and improved ToolTip Help. Presets let you recall frequently used
settings for envelopes, modulations and FX. Many views can be opened in
separate windows.
