The fourth incarnation of HALion 4 features a top sampling and mixing engine together with a virtual analog synthesizer plus other features in 32-bit and native 64-bit versions for Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7.
The newly introduced advanced multiprocessor support provides performance on multi-core computer systems. Owing to the 4.5 update, users can now specify the number of CPUs addressed by HALion.
Audio Warp features time-stretching and pitch-shifting tools for audio manipulation in two modes: solo mode offers edits the level of formant shifting, grain size and the threshold of transition detection, suited for monophonic instruments and vocals.
The new import browser offers convenient access to VST Sound and sample libraries, allowing users to manage and listen to samples right off the bat.
The additional multi-oscillator mode in HALion 4.5 provides up to eight oscillators for simultaneous use.
Enhancements in version 4.5 are simultaneous multi-editing of MIDI modules and a sound editor.
