HALION 7

HALion 7 is a groundbreaking, premium-quality software instrument, developed to help you create world-class music and sounds. Delve into the iconic sound of FM synthesis, harness the power of spectral synthesis, embrace a new approach to modulation, create and customize unique envelopes, be inspired by new effects which enhance creativity for bass players and much more.

• FM Zone – developed with Yamaha: Freely combine up to eight operators, use them as carriers or send them to feedback loops. Including an Algorithm Finder, an Algorithm Designer and SYX file import.
• Spectral Zone: the new spectral oscillator features a new in-house developed time-stretch and
• resynthesis algorithm. It allows to change playback speed in real time without affecting the pitch,but it can also transform samples into completely new sounds.
• FM Lab: A full-blown eight operator FM synthesizer with hundreds of cutting-edge presets
• Tales: A beautifully sampled guitar. Guitar strings were individually sampled as open notes and then tuned to a different pitch, giving each one a very pure and intimate sound additionally layered with acoustic and synthesized textures
• Modulation reimagined: Shape, tweak and animate your sounds more easily than ever with HALion’s new modulation concept.
• New Shaper Envelope: The User Envelope now has brush, pen and eraser tools for intuitively drawing and customizing envelopes.
• A fresh new look and feel: Updated interface, a redesigned MediaBay and search plus tons of workflow improvements
• Advanced wavetable synthesis for multichannel files with up to 5.1 surround and spectral filters Additional new features: 10 new effects, Decompose, X-LFO, Chord export from Trigger Pads, impulse response import and the new Oscilloscope
• New tools for designing instruments like SVG resources which can be animated by Lua, color options and more

SPECTACULAR: THE NEW SPECTRAL ZONE

The HALion spectral oscillator features our newly in-house developed time stretch and resynthesis algorithm, which sounds amazing even at extreme settings. It not only allows you to change playback speed in real time without affecting the pitch, but you can also transform samples into completely new sounds. The real power comes with features like formant shift, spectral filter, purity, inharmonicity and the ability to hold the previous spectrum functions if a sample’s start or end is reached. In addition, the new FFT view offers a precise and clear insight into the spectrum itself.

TALES: AN OPEN-TUNED GUITAR

Ready for every story you want to tell, Tales is a beautifully captured guitar, layered with additional acoustic and synthesized textures. The guitar strings were individually sampled as open notes and then tuned to a different pitch, giving each one a very pure and intimate sound. In addition to the open strings, we recorded articulations like muted notes and harmonics. Whether you are writing ballads, looking for contemporary colors for underscoring or want to uplift your next acoustic pop production, Tales delivers instant inspiration from every note you play.

AMPED ELEKTRA

A rare vintage electric piano which has been completely restored by the manufacturer, sampled from the DI signal and reamped through three legendary amps like “The Tower” from 1949, a Fender Twin and Ampeg V4. If that was not enough classic gear, we have also included unique impulse responses from different reverb units through the decades. Now that’s what we call a character instrument.

BACKBONE

One of the most innovative plug-ins for drum sound design and re-synthesis. Layer, re- synthesize and decompose samples into noise and tonal parts. Thanks to many unique features and superior workflows, you can make 808s fatter than ever, design cinematic hits, and craft your own signature drum sounds.

ELECTRIC BASS

This awesome electric bass library is based on samples and combines them with advanced physical modeling. This new concept allows you to create the sound of classics in no time at all, from J-bass to P- bass and even the MM-bass. It comes with seven articulations from fingerstyle and muted to slapped and an authentic auto legato and slide function.

POLARITIES FOR PADSHOP 2

The Padshop 2 expansion Polarities plays with the concept of contrasts and confrontation, like divine and evil, tonal and noisy, frozen and moving. You can morph the sounds or split polarized sounds on the keyboard. It’s another great expansion by sound designer Simon Stockhausen.

SOUNDS OF SOUL FOR RETROLOGUE 2

This Retrologue expansion covers the greatest synth sounds from more than four decades of soul music. More than 400 presets programmed by Dave Polich, who programmed and produced for artists like Michael Jackson, David Foster and Sergio Mendes.

FUTURE PAST PERFECT FOR GROOVE AGENT 5

Future Past Perfect is the perfect drum toolkit for music in the style of New York House, Future House, Progressive House and Techno. This expansion is exclusively created for Groove Agent by producer, DJ and composer Dean Coleman, who moves crowds in global hot spots from Brazil, Paris and Ibiza to New York.
