Halion 5 library Patch#
More interestingly, the Note Expression feature allows you to assign unique sets of controller data to each note when the patch is played polyphonically. Using VST Expression maps, you can easily control articulations and performance styles. New features enable more realistic performances and creative expression - for example, this version is VST 3.5-compatible, meaning it can take advantage of Note Expression and Quick Control integration. It's what HALion 4 can do with the samples that makes the difference.
HALion can still automap samples based on embedded root note or file name (though we have always found this a bit clunky and prefer to drag our samples directly into the mapper). This is nothing new per se - previous HALions had loads of user-friendly sample mapping and editing tools, and they've been carried over into v4. Naturally, there's a full complement of sample mapping, looping and editing tools. The key difference is that HALion is designed to work with your own samples, so in our review we'll focus on those things that make HALion 4 a full-blown sampler.
The latter offers three-oscillators, a suboscillator, ring modulation, noise generator, and multimode filtering with six different routing schemes, including morphing filters. It shares the same basic sample-playback engine, effects and an awesome synthesis engine. It has all of HALion Sonic's sounds and more - there are superb synths, orchestral sounds, electric guitar/bass, ethnic instruments, drums, and lots more. If you've already used HALion Sonic, much of what's on offer in HALion 4 will be familiar.
