HALion 3 Takes Sampling Technology To A New Level!
NOTE: This product requires a Steinberg Key, sold separately.

HALion 3 is the latest version of Steinberg's award-winning software sampler. Over 50 new features in HALion 3 include 27 added effects, new sound management tools and RAMSave technology. The sleek new user interface and expanded routing functions add even more flexibility to the HALion experience.

Steinberg HALion 3 Sampler at a Glance:
  • Versatile, easy-to-use software sampler
  • 32-bit/384kHz capability with new audio routing and interface
  • New insert and send effects section
  • RAMSave conserves computer resources and handles large instruments

Versatile, easy-to-use software sampler
Since its launch in 2001, HALion has been pushing back boundaries in virtual samplers. With over 50 new features, HALion 3 stays at the forefront of digital audio technology. This latest version expands existing HALion capabilities to new levels of accessibility and flexibility, creating a virtual sampler environment that not only lets your creativity flourish, but lets you work more productive and efficiently than ever before.

32-bit/384kHz capability with new audio routing and interface
Building on the outstanding surround-capable HALion 2.0 sampling engine with support for up to 32-bit floating point files, HALion 3 adds even more new capabilities. A new output routing system allows you to create and configure the audio outputs; only the outputs you need will be routed directly to the host VST mixer. HALion 3's sleek new user interface is not only easy on the eyes but has been restructured to keep switching between the different HALion 3 views to a minimum.

New insert and send effects section
A key upgrade in HALion 3 is its dazzling new Insert and Send Effects section. 27 quality effects encompass just about any effect requirement. They can be applied to individual samples, sample groups or entire programs. Effect sends can be sent to HALion's internal FX section or even directly to the VST mixer to share plug-in resources between the host and HALion.

RAMSave conserves computer resources
HALion 3 now offers RAMSave, a new feature created to keep in check the RAM resources needed by even the most extensive sample instruments, resulting in low RAM usage and faster project load and save times, a boon for pro users using large, intricate sampled instruments such as big orchestral patches or large drum kits. In addition, HALion 3 includes a new file browser with drag and drop support, favorites system, sound categorization and database indexing. An impressive set of powerful new sound management tools gives you a clear overview over all your sound files. The intuitive sound categories system lets you group related sounds in HALion 3, making it easy to find them quickly!

Other HALion 3 new features include Alternate mode, which allows playing a different sample with each new Note On message, introducing more spontaneity and feeling, especially useful for realistic drum-sounds or string bow up/down action. HALion 3 also adds support for Kurzweil and Kontakt sounds as well as for the Zero-X BeatCreator and BeatQuantizer Groove-Slice formats.
