I found myself referring to those videos several times throughout my exploration of HALion.
HALION PRESETS HOW TO
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 “engineered” as opposed to “designed”. Opening up the interface for the first time I wasn’t sure where to start.
HALION PRESETS INSTALL
It didn’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.Īs 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 Steinberg 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 “mind-blowing new tool” and “go-to sonic toolbox” for a media composer like myself?įor 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 “Creative Tool” for to create your own sounds.

All this power does come with a learning curve, although there are 20GB+ of synths and libraries you can jump right into. HALion 6 is a tweaker’s delight! From sampling to editing, synthesis to instrument interface design and scripting there is little this workhorse does not provide.
