Installation and Setup

Welcome

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Steinberg's HALion 4.
Ten years after the release of the first version of HALion, Steinberg is very proud to
present the fourth incarnation of its acclaimed VST sampler. When the idea of HALion
was first formed over a decade ago, the approach was to develop a highly user-
friendly, yet powerful software sampler with an unparalleled feature set and a
seamless integration into modern DAWs.
Today, HALion 4 embodies the original philosophy better than ever before. When
comparing HALion 4 with its predecessors, you find many similarities, but the
immense advancements throughout the application stand out a mile. HALion 4 has
undergone a massive overhaul and a shift to an entirely new virtual instrument,
Steinberg's VST sampler and sound creation system.
For the first time in its history, HALion combines a premium sample engine with a
virtual analog synthesizer and in this way opens the door to new sonic spheres. The
integrated mixing console, the studio-grade effects and the flexible user interface are
just some of the features that will truly inspire your creativity. One of the key objectives
during the development process was to further optimize the workflow concept. When
you get started with HALion 4, you will soon discover the many useful details that help
to turn your vision into reality.
HALion 4 was designed according to the requirements of professional sound
designers and was relentlessly refined during the engineering process, resulting in the
ultimate tool for discerning sound designers as well as finding the appreciation of
musicians, producers, and composers.
First of all, check out the massive sound library. With more than 1,600 instruments
and patches, HALion 4 includes the complete sound collection of the appraised
HALion Sonic workstation alongside many fresh new sounds.
