Steinberg Halion 7 (english/german/french language version)

With HALion you can create any sound you can imagine – and also ones you could never have imagined. Six different synthesis types, a powerful sample engine, scripting, an innovative timestretching and resynthesis algorithm, and fast modulation options ensure new ideas every time you open HALion.

HALion 7 is a groundbreaking software instrument for music and sound design at the highest level. Immerse yourself in the legendary sounds of FM synthesis, use the power of spectral sound synthesis, experience modulations on a new level, design individual envelopes, be inspired by new creative bass effects and much more.

FM Zone: Developed in collaboration with Yamaha

HALion 7 features a new FM Zone developed in collaboration with Yamaha, the company that created some of the most famous FM synthesizers in history. Combine up to eight operators, use them as carriers or send them in feedback loops. Together with the powerful Algorithm Finder, a comprehensive and easy-to-use algorithm designer, you can create any FM sound imaginable – from classic DX7 tones to the most modern FM tones. What's more, HALion also supports the import of DX7 and TX81Z SYX files in the FM zone.

Spectacular: The new Spectral Zone

HALion's spectral oscillator includes our newly developed timestretching and resynthesis algorithm, which sounds incredibly good even at extreme settings. Not only can you use it to change the playback speed in real time without affecting the pitch, but you can also transform samples into completely new sounds. The Formant Shift, Spectral Filter, Purity and Inharmonicity functions are particularly effective, as is the ability to hold a sound when the beginning or end of a sample is reached. In addition, HALion 7 offers a new FFT view that gives you a precise and clear insight into the spectrum.
