4/14/2024 0 Comments Mach 1 omnisphere bank![]() ![]() is usually a real hurdle for a lot of people - which I (partly) understand. The extra steps that are involved to get a free Steinberg player, get that to work, authorize stuff etc. HISE lets you develop stuff that is completely transparent for the user, it’s a VST that you use in your DAW. Of course, Kontakt is the elephant in the room here anyway, if we’re talking about “frictionless adoption of new instruments”. ![]() Their Liminal instruments are great examples of good Halion development, yet they’ve now also released the same instruments for Kontakt. Also, check some recent posts by Crocus Soundware. Yamaha should really just take Montage’s excellent FM engine and port that over to Halion 7 at some point. It needs more synthesis options, like physical modelling and especially FM. Its sequencers aren’t even close to Falcon’s in terms of functionality. Halion also has some downsides: it doesn’t seem to get as many updates (features and otherwise) as Falcon does. No need to invest in an expensive sampler like Kontakt. I guess this resembles how you could release a Full Kontakt library, except your potential customers would only need to get the free player. One could just release it without any further encrypting or licensing via Steinberg. No hassle, and as far as I know, no further issues. Three, and this is more important maybe, Halion has great options to create an actual instrument based on all the UI and macroknob tweaking (and LUA) options it has, and let you wrap that up as an actual free HalionSONIC SE instrument. Two, the wavetable editing and resynthesis option is really good. A neat feature, it feels like an actual and really useful thing to have in a… sampler. No clue if Falcon let’s you do that, but I’ve never seen that option in there. I sat down the other day and was able to record my Fender Rhodes chromatically from WITHIN Halion, and it chopped up and mapped all individual notes automatically. One, its sampler is actually like my old E-mu’s. Halion 6 recently surprised me, in three ways. But once you’re ready to launch an actual UVI Workstation instrument for some serious go-to-market you’re going to have to sign license deals with UVI.ģ. It has LUA scripting and you get to create macros and your own UI. The synth options are way broader and most of the times also deeper than Halion’s. Its sampling capabilities are fantastic, it performs and delivers. I like what I see and hear in virtual instruments by the likes of Felt Instruments and Falcon 2 is a GREAT sounding multi-sampler and modular synthesizer. Definitely seriously consider to eventually use HISE as your development platform to build your own instruments. I am willing to elaborate later, but this is my gut reaction.ġ. Oh, and know that whenever you are ready to release whatever your very first VI is going to be, I’m planning on becoming customer #1. First of all, I sincerely wish you all the best for this next year. When that one started to flake I started to look for others that were capable of doing several types of known synthesis in one program. Reason was my first mutli platform synth love so that kind started the trend. Not just be a wavetable, synth or another analog emulation or FM synth but one capaple of doing all types of synthesis. Then I keep having thoughts about starting my own sample company, so Hise is looking good as a VI delivery but I don't think I'm considering it as a multi platform synth program so it may be in a separate category.īetween Falcon, Halion and Hise wondering what are your thoughts? Also, any other systems I should be considering? The criterion is that the platform must support multiple styles of synthesis. So 2021 was devoted to learning MSoundFactory and then out of nowhere PHASEPLANT!!!! stole the show so I learned both.Ģ022 is upon us and this year I was sure I was going with Falcon but.out of nowhere Halion which was running in last place, like dead last place, like I wouldn't buy Halion if they gave me money to use it last place, it shot up out of nowhere and now is neck and neck with Falcon. Though my heart was with Falcon my head and my wallet went with MSoundFactory on sale and discounted because I was an owner of MPowersynth. At the time I was deciding I was learning ZebraHZ which I got for myself as a Birthday gift.Ģ121 came and though I had started the debate in 2020, it was a toss up between MSoundFactory and Falcon. Herring to decide on what synth platform I'm going to learn this year as a birthday gift to myself.ĭuring the never ending pandemic of the great year of our lord 2020 I decide that in my lifetime I had time to learn one new synth platform per year. Yesterday was my birthday and today 2022 is here and it's time for Mr. ![]()
