Highlights

HALion 7 is a groundbreaking top-quality software tool designed to help you create world-class music and sound design. 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 that enhance bassists’ creativity and much more.

FM Zone: Developed in collaboration with Yamaha

HALion 7 includes the all-new FM Zone, developed in collaboration with Yamaha, the company that made some of the most iconic FM synthesizers in history. You can freely combine up to eight operators, use them as carriers or send them to feedback loops. Together with the powerful Algorithm Finder, a comprehensive and easy-to-use algorithm designer, you can create everything from classic DX7 tones to the most contemporary FM sounds. And if that’s not enough, HALion now also supports DX7 and TX81Z SYX files import into the FM zone.

The HALion spectral oscillator features our newly in-house developed time stretch and resynthesis algorithm, which sounds amazing even at extreme settings. Not only does this allow you to change the playback speed in real time without affecting the pitch, but you can also transform samples into completely new sounds. The real power is in functions such as formant shift, spectral filter, purity, inharmonicity and the ability to hold previous spectrum functions when the beginning or end of a sample is reached. In addition, the new FFT display provides accurate and clear insight into the spectrum itself.

Modulation in a new look

Shape, tweak and animate your sounds easier than ever with HALion 7’s new modulation concept. Click a parameter in the zone and immediately assign a new modulation to it with the new modulation rows. Jump directly to the modulation destination or source to perform further operations with a single click. You can also assign modulation sources by dragging them. Combined with the new visualization function for each modulation signal, you have a perfect overview of what is happening.

New Shaper Envelope

The User envelope now has brush, pen and eraser tools to intuitively draw and customize envelopes. You can choose from a large selection of pre-designed shapes or save custom shapes for future sessions. In addition, the new envelope Shaper mode allows you to cycle through the shapes in sync with the tempo of your host DAW, giving you a brand new variety of custom LFOs. Plenty of news in halion 7
