#FREE HALION EXPANSION LIBRARIES HOW TO#

Yes, I can provide you with a general overview of how to use Halion to create your own VST Sound files. You can always rebuild the library if you need to.ĭo you know how to use Halion to make your own vstsound files? But I prefer just double clicking the vstsound file to register it with Steinberg Library Manager.

There is a way to temporarily mount the vstsound so you can test it. Select them all and drag them onto the vstsound container. If the presets used any samples they will appear at the bottom in Unassigned samples tab. Fill in the required fields, add the thumbnails…Īdd the presets you saved/exported in Halion Sonic. Go back to HALion 7 and open Library Creator. You can create multiple presets as variations. Check if everything works and save or export it as a program. Now open HALion Sonic and load the layer preset you just exported. When your instrument is ready export it as VST3 preset and turn on the As HS Layer option.

If you want more busses and effects that’s fine, just create layer busses. Make sure you have one bus at the top level. While you can create macro page for any layer or midi module you may not be able to access it in HALion Sonic. Add macro page, midi modules, effects…Īttach the macro page to the program layer. I’ll probably learn it all inside out and then put some tutorials online myself to help anyone in future, as this lack of information surely is why we don’t see many libraries being shared? I could just be searching for the wrong keywords of course!īut in short, you create the instrument in HALion.

So, Could anyone get me on the right path? Just want to create a file that can be loaded universally, with a thumbnail image, even better.

Seems that you have to go through the library manager now, but different steps if you’re wanting to use it in full HALion vs Sonic? There just seems to be no information or tutorials around for this, and the terminology used by Steinberg is so similar for different aspects that it can be confusing too. So on a Friday afternoon when it got quit in the office we took a field recorder and sampled the lamps, played with a drum stick in 3 velocities and an alternate, processed it in the wavetable, added some effects, took a picture of the kitche… Luckily our new lamps sound awesome and every kitchen has 5 of them. And what do HALion guys do first when they enter a new facility? They check out how the hanging lamps sound like. Steinberg recently moved into a new office space here in Hamburg.
