A much lower price point would make more people curious about Halion. Exploring the Halion UI (03:20) - Here you’ll take a further look at the complex Halion 4 user interface prior to analyzing and deconstructing a Multi to get a good idea how they are created. This problem can only be solved by bringing the sampler to the people. Groove3 creates top-notch video tutorials for Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Studio One, Ableton Live, Reason, Plug-Ins, Mixing and Mastering and more. But without good content available nobody would buy a new sampler - especially if the well established market leader only costs 2/3 the price (in practice). This looks absolutely like a ‘take it or leave it’ approach from Steinberg’s sales department and it seems like not many people take the first option.īut a sampler needs a critical mass of users or no one would ever create good content for it. Too bad for potential new customers and really disappointing for existing customers. If you wait for the next upgrade sale (usually around easter) then you can get the entire Komplete package for the price of a single Halion license. Just a few days ago you could get Kontakt for less than 190€ in the annual Black Friday sale. But - SURPRIZE - it works with Halion Sonic full. So I did not expect to get Halion Sonic full version working, when I recently upgraded to Halion Sonic full (they currently have a 99 upgrade offer at Steinberg). People usually buy it as part of Komplete or in one of NI’s countless sales. Halion Sonic SE does not work with the Cognitone Drones and Engines as we already discussed earlier. I don’t know anyone who paid the full price for Kontakt recently. Some could say that H4’s price is comparable to Kontakt’s but in practice it isn’t. I think that Halion’s price point is really a problem for many people, especially compared to Kontakt.
