Everything about the new HALion 7.1 Update

[@infestedalien]

All I can say is that Halion has really become something awesome over the years.

[@cammillar4068]

Sold! Back to Halion after drifting away the last couple of years into 'the search'! Will buy later today. It's a 'no-brainer'. This will save countless hours/days/weeks of time. Will get some quality of life time back instead of spending days scratching my head wondering how to achieve what's now possible. Thank you Steinberg!

[@andreasoberg2021]

This looks brilliant. Most interesting tech I have seen in a while

[@cy9105]

I'm so happy to see Steinberg adding new features and hope it's a sign of things to come. Solid update.

[@millardbrown4769]

How to make anything sound great? Let Dom demo it!! Really enjoyed this. Update is now in progress.

[@Nicolasin-yn9mu]

Wow, that's amazing, I first got Halion and all the LoFi pianos were an absolute gem and such quality and variety....I updated it today and eh, that sounds absolutely amazing.....

[@grandmusic264]

Hello professor, please how do I make Arabic Scales On Halion 7

[@mtreder4]

Brilliant! Best walkthrough yet.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Wow. Just installed - I need to play with the spectral synth!!

[@ricshaw4358]

this was useful -more please

[@georgecoles7268]

finally installing all my Steinberg stuff after doing some upgrades - cubase pro, Halion 7, Montage VST. very excited

[@taxiwilliams]

Definitely going to download this when I get home tonight!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@mahavpm]

you KNEW I couldn't resist this!

[@pc9611]

Tales and FM Lab already had me HALion-curious, but this spectral sampling wizardry sold me.

[@buckycore]

The spectral synth engine is what makes Halion7 stand apart from the rest the other power synths. So with these new features, it's like...all my patches shall now be spectral 😊

[@GalantGoStudio]

Great update, but I hope to add some physical modeling engines lilke Bowed and pluck strings.... reed... etc... :)

[@jmac2050]

Lots of great sounds, but loading and auditioning presets is a drag. maybe HaLon could implement proxy files or something, like Komplete Kontrol, for instant preview of sounds.

[@spaceiswater6539]

Just bought it very excited to use it as it kinda reminds me of UVI Falcon via the GUI.

[@rdomain]

'Like' number 666. \m/. I just won a copy last night so thanks for the peek at the features while I wait for my licence to come through. Love the spectral vocal chords! Ligeti vibes.

[@simonlegrec]

Amazing

[@jenslempke7883]

Halion, Falcon, Kontakt, Zencore. It's the age of the supersynth platforms. I have them all, but Halion is my favourite by far.

[@hartejdhiman4438]

Getting some strong Kraftwerk, Tour De France vibes around time marker 10:55. Halion 7.1 is insane. Sold.

[@SonicVision]

The best sampler..._PERIOD.

[@vincereidroc728]

Hi! Can you make a video on Flexphraser in Halion please ?

[@tenderklang]

Really great

[@gatosoul]

Thank you for sharing, How can we scale the GUI? everything is so tiny in an average modern computer with a 4k display :( very uncomfortable. Thank you.

[@cdefism]

Wonderful! Could anyone tell me what “Apollo Samples” is? I want that pack.

[@steliosvartholomeos8725]

Hi Dom, I have a question, I am the owner of cubase pro 13, I updated Halion 7.1, but I can't find spectral synthesis. Is there anything I need to install? or something i'm missing? Could you help me please? Thanks for any advice or info.

[@bLiNdEDM]

friggin amazing

[@snubdawg1386]

is halion 7 the best easy-to-use rompler when it comes to acoustic instruments?

[@Steviee8]

I bought TGuitar after watching your other video. Its really nice and it came with HALion Free. But cant find documentation or videos on how to store a preset. Sure, I can click the save button but if I add reverb and delay or Amp sim to it, those don't save to the preset that I thought I was saving. Not sure how many "save" functions there are in HALion but its very frustrating. I want to b able to load or recall a guitar with all those setting and be able to quickly recall another but with different reverbs or eq or even delays. I hope it's not because it's a Free HALion version. Anyways, love your videos. You are one talented musician!

[@yasientrabihfm]

sounds better sounds great

[@eliaszerano3510]

how to scale the GUI ? the fonts look so tiny on a hiDPI screen

[@martinhullwegen1005]

Wow. Will the Halion 7.1 sale also available as part of "ABSOLUTE COLLECTION" with 50% off?

[@MissaMelodica]

Any acoustic sounds?

[@bernardojunqueira2392]

Updating (Halion Sonic) right now. Thanks, Dom.

[@johnmac8084]

Can you do this in Halion Sonic, or just the full version?

[@Nicolasin-yn9mu]

Boom! I'm gonna just drop this vocal sample in and.....COSMIC!!!

[@jvaddison]

Dom literally has new gear everytime i see a new Post! 😏

[@InLightTone]

Thanks for this. Hey, wheres your CC121?

[@SF_Bud]

Noticed that too. What's the new controller that took its place?

[@terrygray7465]

@@SF_Bud It's an SSL UF8. I have the UF8/UF1/UC1 and it's a fantastic modular system.

[@djjuno106]

do i need to reinstall halion libary ?or are there no new presets in 7.1?thanks

[@tekknovator]

@@djjuno106 it is a self contained library. No need to redownload any existing content. But you need to have the latest (free) update of Halion/ Halion Sonic 7.1 plugin.

[@natalia47]

MPE would make this even cooler.

[@cassandrahuskey8866]

I have Cubase 13 pro , downloaded this and it says I dont have a license to use it!! What the heck?

[@VSTInstrumentsPlugIns]

HALion 7 is not included in Cubase Pro it is a separate product. But Cubase comes with HALion Sonic 7 and lots of content & instruments to start with. There are also a lot of additional free instruments available here: www.steinberg.net/vst-instruments/free/

[@mitchmarsili]

Does Halion 7.1 also work on other DAWs like FL Studio?"

[@Byron101_]

yes, of course. FL Studio can run VST3, Clap and AU plugins. Halion is available as VST, AU and AAX plugin.

[@njm20music]

Ho Dom is this available for as I have Halion Sonic 7

[@johnthursfield3056]

Interesting but are these the only new features or the just new features in Spectral synth? Has the rest of the program changed?

[@Khsamir85]

راااائع ❤

[@TheImpalerBEATS]

to'l Cigalas ahí….. oye, pues me flipa el nuevo feature.

[@piet245]

Is it a free Update?

[@SF_Bud]

Yes, it's free.

[@piet245]

@@SF_Bud Thanks

[@cassandrahuskey8866]

Is this Free??

[@hosseinsaraiee]

عالیه

[@MusicalAnin]

Nice , but i hope that Steinberg if they improve thier daw and plugins the way its become less CPU consuming 🙏. I went back to studio one because I got bored of cubase cpu hunger and crashes!

[@MagnetarCollapse]

I run Cubase 13 on a 15 year old computer. I don't think Cubase is your problem...

[@DoitYHWH]

Cubase + Dom = watch

[@hosseinsaraiee]

[@anbanb8787]

150 years later= the secret of Halion 'popularity': still trying to cram new incredible features into an old, extremely poorly designed and unusable UI

[@SoundFriendly]

it is not because you don't understand it, other people don't understand it.

[@DoitYHWH]

I agree, but to be fair Kontakt 7 ain’t much better if not worst

[@anbanb8787]

@@DoitYHWH prolly designed by the same school of thougt

[@tekknovator]

It looks like excel because tables are great to organize loads of information ;) plus it has great concepts like jumping between mod source and target, project and parameter sorting and filtering etc. There is always Halion Sonic with macro page instruments, if you need something guided, reduced, and possibly beautiful.

[@tekknovator]

And just to emphasize my last post. Some more modern UI/UX features, many simpler synths still don’t have: - envelope position indicators - envelope waveform overlay - spectral sample view - undockable windows, allowing you to spread sounddesign across all your screens - modulation visiualiser - oscilloscope - drag and drop almost everything (modulation, project tree, samples, presets, import) - loop visualized into waveform - fully zoomable and rotating 3d wavetable - searchable Parameter list - searchable and filterable project tree. - preset/instrument search with tags and filters. Probably more what I can’t remember. It is a steep learning curve, but well worth it.
