Steinberg Media Technologies AG today introduced HALion, a powerful virtual sampler for VST-compatible production systems.
HALion offers all of the sampler functions the professional musician needs, from complex automation and control effects via MIDI to simple sample tuning. HALion's embedded loop editor illustrates how a modern software sampler 'should' perform: a sophisticated crossfade function simplifies looping; zero crossings are automatically identified and non-destructive editing provides a safety net for experimentation. HALion's flexible and powerful Keyzone window makes creating complete programs and layers fast and intuitive, regardless of whether the intent is to pitch, modulate or reverse samples. Loading samples is a quick "drag and drop" directly to the keyzone window where they appear as graphic elements on the screen; velocity and layers are determined by simply resizing and moving the keyzones. Samples are then streamed directly from the hard disk, eliminating any memory limitations of RAM based systems.
HALion takes advantage of the full 32bit VST-range to set a new benchmark for sonic performance among software samplers. Also provided is an array of selectable filter types with cutoff slope range of up to 24db and a "fatness" function offers opportunities for breathtaking sound design. All filters and settings can be global for the whole program or specific to an individual sample. Becuase HALion is a VST Intrument and run within Cubase, sample-accurate timing is acheived.
For maximum compatibility, HALion is open-source to ensure support for every major sampler format. Upon release, HALion will be compatible with the majority of CD sample libraries, supporting WAV, AIFF and AKAI import functionality. Support for additional formats is planned.
