Description

In this getting started guide to Steinberg's Halion 6, users are introduced to the most essential parts of the soft sampler. This should allow users an understanding of the initially intimidating user interface.

Steinberg states 'HALion 6 is the most comprehensive virtual sampling and sound design system available today and excels the present creative process for producers and sound designers in all areas. It covers the complete creative workflow from recording, sample editing to programming advanced synthesis and creating professional sound libraries which you can actually share or sell.

Halion ships with more than 40GB of high end content, and up to 3400 presets across 14 instruments.

Users can load different presets instruments or articulations and control them simultaneously, with one external MIDI keyboard in separate MIDI zones. This comes in pretty handy when you want to play different instruments and styles on either the first, second or third program — there are no creative barriers.

Whether you want to design an instrument, create wavetables, edit samples or just play it requires a different setup of windows to be most effective. Due to this fact you can save and load your own screensets, dock or undock every window and find the perfect creative space for every task.'

Once complete, the user should have a good understanding of how Halion 6 operates.

Who this course is for:

  • New users that want to understand how Halion works so they can take this information further.
