HALion is a software instrument application, created by German music software company Steinberg for macOS and Windows.[1] It uses a sample-based approach to emulate the acoustic sounds of a full orchestra, such as the strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections, with multiple configurations for each instrument, allowing for variations in timbre.[1][2] It can also use multiple forms of sound synthesis to produce other software synthesizer audio.[3]

HALion can be used either as a standalone application, or as a VST, AU, or AAX (Avid Audio eXtension for Pro Tools) plug-in within digital audio workstation software.[4]

History

The first version of HALion was released by Steinberg in 2001.[5] By the year 2004, it had reached version 3.[6]

At Musikmesse 2006, Steinberg announced a specific version of the software, known as the HALion Symphonic Orchestra, which included the samples to represent a full orchestra.[7]

On 1 April 2009, Steinberg released the version 3.5 update to HALion, which introduced 64-bit support.[8][9]

In July 2009, Michael Fakesch (former member of the band Funkstörung) produced a score for the Philips commercial Carousel (which won the Film Grand Prix award at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival[10]) using the HALion Symphonic Orchestra and Cubase.[11]

In June 2010, Steinberg announced the HALion Sonic edition of the software, positioned as the successor to their previous Hypersonic 2 software instrument, including both sampling and sound synthesis functionality.[12]

Version 4 of the main edition of HALion was announced at Musikmesse 2011,[13] introducing sound synthesis features to expand beyond purely sample-based audio.[14] Version 5 (and version 2 of HALion Sonic) followed in July 2013 with new instruments and effects.[15]

Version 6 of HALion, announced at Winter NAMM Show on 19 January 2017 (alongside version 3 of HALion Sonic), introduced new features such as customization macros and user scripting (using a LUA-based scripting language[16][6]).[17]

Editions

There are 3 different editions of HALion available:

  • HALion Sonic SE: A free version of HALion Sonic (also included with all versions of Cubase[18]), with a smaller sample library and reduced sound synthesis functionality.[19][20]
  • HALion Sonic: A version of HALion with reduced functionality. For example, it does not include custom macro and sampling features.[19][21]
  • HALion: The full version of HALion, including sampling and scripting functionality.[19]
