All user reviews of 1/5 for the Steinberg HALion Sonic

No problem with the installation. He did not miss it!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Running on I7 960, no problem.
The interface is absolutely not functional, not well thought out at all. Instead of facilitating the handling by users, programmers have preferred to force it to comply with the requirements of their product. Thus, if the selection window of the program is opened, it is the only active, it is impossible, for example, start playing your movie. You must select the program, close the window, start playback, open the "Programs" window if you want to try a different sound, and so on. This is the only VSTI in my possession which requires to do this! In addition, if you select a sound category (Low, for example), this category is selected when you reopen the program window, we must remember what category was part of the selected sound! It's great no matter what!

And then, it would be secondary if the sounds were grandiose, but it must be noted that these are sounds heard 2000 times, very average and give your character a compound "midi" worthy 80s. Extremely disappointing!
There are just a few sounds (not very original) that stand out. But they do not save the whole.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several years and in fact, almost every time I wanted to drag a component, I ended up preferring another VSTI him as Kore 2 Native Instruments eg offering much more diversified banks and more interesting sounds.
I highly recommend purchasing it, do not waste your money, go your way!

The important thing is the music, and there ... Not good at all.
