The streamlined VST workstation lets you load and play a plethora of sound content: the SE libraries shipping with Steinberg's digital audio workstations, VST Sound Instrument Sets for HALion and the custom user libraries created within the HALion 6 sampler and. Assign your ‘to GM’ Map to Halion’s MIDI track, and copy your hi-hat pattern to the track. HALion Sonic SE 3 is a stripped-down version of HALion Sonic 3 without giving up on sound quality and accessibility. Use Halion’s browser to locate and load a GM drum kit. When you find the HSSE files move them to here if they arent there already. Add an instance of Halion Sonic SE to the instrument rack, creating a MIDI track when prompted. Sounds for Halion Sonic SE will have HSSE in the filename. Search your drive for files with the extension. I know I'm probably just doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. Theres multiple directories where the installers can place files, and often they arent seen by the program depending on where it dumped them.

Is there something I'm missing that's causing the program information to be tethered? Is there a way for me to make it show the program name independently (and accurately)? It's not a real problem, since I can always just rename the MIDI tracks so I can tell them apart -it's just not convenient. I've noticed that if I change Channel 2 to "Bellperc strings", then everywhere that it once said that Channel 1 was "Cello Duo", it changes to "Bellperc strings" as well, even though it still sounds as "Cello Duo". This makes it more difficult for me to tell them apart at a glance, and to tell which track is making which sound.įor instance, say, for instance, that I have a MIDI track routed to Channel 1, and Channel 1's program is "Cello Duo", and I have another MIDI track routed to Channel 2, and Channel 2's program is "Chamber Strings". Which is bad, because I don't want any of the others to change at all when I edit just one of them.Įven though it doesn't actually change the sound or the name of the programs as displayed in the instrument's slots view, I still find this incredibly annoying, because it appears to change them in the main project view. However, when I change the program of one MIDI track -whether in the track overview dropdown, or the sidebar dropdown, or even in the HALion Sonic interface itself - it changes not only the displayed program name of that one track I was actually modifying, but also the displayed program name of all the other tracks associated with that HALion Sonic rack instrument. When I play them back, their sound reflects the sound selected for the HALion Sonic "slot" number that matches the channel number I set that track to, which is good because that's exactly what I want them to do. I have successfully routed multiple MIDI tracks to different channels of one rack (not track) instance of HALion Sonic SE.
