Steinberg Halion Symphonic Orchestra

HALion Symphonic Orchestra

HALion Symphonic Orchestra is the complete, easy-to-use solution for any musician and composer looking for the vast sonic palette of a symphonic orchestra. A user can create stunningly full orchestral masterpieces, ultra-expressive solo lines as well as beautiful smaller arrangements - without the complexity usually associated with orchestral libraries.

Features

The content for HALion Symphonic Orchestra was painstakingly recorded in 24-bit using top-grade equipment to ensure the highest sonic fidelity, and was performed by one of Europe 's leading orchestras under the direction of Claudius Brüse (see below for a full biography).

Included are over 15,000 samples of exquisitely authentic orchestral strings, woodwind, brass and orchestral percussion instruments, each in a 16-bit and 24-bit version (27 GB total). The over 1250 programs are organized in 45 groups of solo, Tutti and ensemble instrument sounds in various playing styles and articulations.

The easy to understand, single-window interface lets users tweak their sounds quickly and intuitively. Each program features 8 predefined Sound Edit knobs which offer control over the most important sound shaping parameters. Key Switching allows for quick and easy changing of articulations in real time by using specially assigned keys below the usual playing range

RAMSave Incorporated into HALion Symphonic Orchestra is Steinberg's RAMSave technology. It allows for highly efficient use of the host computer's RAM. RAMSave allows the "freezing" of the instrument and automatic unloading of unneeded samples from memory, resulting in low RAM usage and faster project load and save times.

The RealAmbience feature offers true recorded ambience that can be perfectly blended into any mix or production. Using only recorded ambience with no artificial reverb, RealAmbience builds an extraordinarily convincing concert hall environment with fully adjustable ambience time and wet/dry balance.

HALion Symphonic Orchestra supports all major formats: VST, DXi, AU + Rewire for easy Pro Tools® Integration. A multi-output capable standalone version is also included.
