HALion Version 3.1 Update Announced
Steinberg announced an update to its HALion 3 virtual sampler product. HALion 3.1 features new capabilities as well as numerous enhancements, and will is available as a download for all registered users.
HALion 3.1 sees several new features introduced to the HALion platform.
A new feature already seen in Steinberg's HALion Player product is
Q-Controls. These user-definable controls offer fast access to up to
eight parameters directly on the Macro-page or in an extra, floating
window. Individually adaptable for each and every loaded program in
HALion 3.1, Q-Controls also automatically switch to their assigned
parameters when a new program is selected. Many new libraries by content
creators have already been engineered to include predefined Q-Controls
best suited to shaping each specific instrument. User-defined Q-Controls
settings are saved with each HALion program or bank, and can also be
recalled as a preset.
This new system is integrated with another new feature: the HALion MIDI
Learn mode. Allowing fast assigning of MIDI controllers to almost any
sound-forming parameters within HALion, the MIDI Learn function in
HALion 3.1 allows MIDI CC data to be instantly "learned" (automatically
assigned) to any of the eight Q-Controls. This allows quick and easy
integration of MIDI controller hardware to make using the Q-Controls
more direct and tangible.
The unique Sound Categories system introduced with HALion 3.0 has been
refined to offer more categories, including individual drum instruments
such as snares, cymbals, kicks and high hats. With HALion 3.1, HSB
content is also automatically sorted into the appropriate categories
which are displayed as individual coloured folders in the Browser
windows.
Also new to HALion 3.1 are ReWire compatibility as a standalone
application, offering users of ReWire host applications such as Pro
Tools all the advantages of the HALion sampler platform. HALion 3.1 also
sees the introduction of a new advanced disk streaming mode, further
improving the disk streaming performance available.
The update to HALion 3.1 is available now as a free download from
