The Halion engine also sports a wide range of effects including the вЂњREVerencвЂќ convolution reverb, Modulators, resonators, amp simulators and all the usual suspects. The software comes with over 30 GB of samples from acoustic instruments and the synths range from vintage to granular to wavetable synthesis. Now, there are a lot of things to like about this software, experimenting with different wavetable oscillators with the synths and tweaking out the sounds of the acoustic instruments and taking them out even further than imaginable. I will include all of those videos in a playlist at the bottom of the page. I found myself referring to those videos several times throughout my exploration of HALion.

There are a dozen or so official videos to help hold your hand, so you can get a little better lay of the land as for what HALion 6 is capable of and how to operate it. That said, the sonic delight once digging into the depths of HALion encouraged to indulge my inner tweaker and continue exploring, even if at times blindly turning knobs or adding layers to hear what might happen. The interface feels вЂњengineeredвЂќ as opposed to вЂњdesignedвЂќ. Opening up the interface for the first time I wasnвЂ™t sure where to start.

It didnвЂ™t help that the install process required me to download a downloader, to download the products, to download the update, to download an elicenser, to download an elicense helper before I was able to successfully get HALion 6 running in my DAW (Logic X). As I started downloading and watching the walkthrough videos I starting to feel a little overwhelmed. HALion 6 has a lot of power under the hood! In my time exploring the software I found was that all this power comes at a cost.ДЄs a media composer, I primarily am using ready made instruments to program quickly to create scores for the picture. HALion 6 sells for $349.99 from SteinbergВ with crossgrades/upgrades starting at $99.

Not having used any of the previous versions of HALion, I was eager to see if the rumors were true, could this be a вЂњmind-blowing new toolвЂќ and вЂњgo-to sonic toolboxвЂќ for a media composer like myself?ДЇor the purposes of my review, I downloaded the latest update of HALion V6.0.1.5 HALion 6 comes with over 30GB of synths and instruments you can jump right into and start playing, but those are just the tip of the iceberg as the software was designed as a вЂњCreative ToolвЂќ for to create your own sounds.

HALion 6 is a tweakerвЂ™s delight! From sampling to editing, synthesis to instrument interface design and scripting there is little this workhorse does not provide.
