Steinberg releases Colors Free, a free Cinematique Instruments sound library for HALion Sonic 7.The only thing better than a deal on an instrument is getting one for free. Earlier this week, we detailed the announcement and arrival of Steinberg’s HALion Sonic 7.Launched alongside HALion 7 Sonic was Colors Free, an instrument filled to the brim with sampled synths, textures, and a bevy of features.So what exactly is Colors Free?At first blush, it presents a rather eccentric interface, with a number of squares comprising what developer Cinematique Instruments calls a palette. That palette serves as an erstwhile preset browser. There isn’t a ton on offer here, but for the cost of admission, it is to be expected.Colors Free can be layered together with four different sound sources in total. This is done through the Easel panel, and users can blend together sampled analog synths, white noise, and other textures to make their own lush sound beds.This isn’t the sort of instrument you would intend for designing wild and crazy Neurofunk basses in, but it does make for a wonderful companion to your other weapons of choice.Colors Free’s final section is the mastering section, which houses the various effects hosted in the instrument. These all sound quite nice and certainly complement the sound sources on offer.The feature set is rounded out by the random preset generator, which guarantees inspiration won’t try up immediately after test-driving all the patches included.Colors Free is a fun addition to Steinberg’s free HALion Sonic 7 virtual instrument. While it certainly isn’t a synthesis powerhouse, there is plenty to enjoy here for those looking for pads, arpeggiated sequences, and ambient texturing.If you’d like to pick up Colors Free, it is, of course, free for all users. You’ll need a Steinberg account and their installation manager to use it.System requirements are the same as Halion Sonic 7, with Windows and macOS machines being supported. Windows users have the option of VST3 and AAX. Mac users have Intel and Apple Silicon binaries available in VST3, AAX, and AU formats.Download: Colors FreeMore:Steinberg Introduces FREE HALion Sonic 7 Virtual InstrumentLoFi Piano Is.

Hearing rumors re. H7 and potential FM enhancement ? what specifically is it you need from Reaper/Halion? It's just a multi timbral instrument like any other in how reaper sees it...Mid in per channel...audio out per channel.....that's it..everything else is Halion specific and any tutorial will cover those.M 07-16-2022, 11:16 AM #6 Human being with feelings Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: St George, UT _ USA Posts: 2,881 Open Reaper v6.64, approve outs. Add new Track = HALion 6. Typical HALion 6 > Master > Out 2 > Out 3 > etc. HALion 6 'Slot Rack' loaded with A1 Violin Solo _ A2 Cello Solo _ A3 Viola Solo, A4 Contrabass Solo, A5 Quartet Strings. Each assigned, in Reaper, to different MIDI Ch. Viola MIDI 1 etc. MIDI Keyboard Controller triggers only show on HALion 6, Master, Out 2. __ Audio only Out 2. Appreciate your help !! Plz understand, Reaper used daily, but in simplistic live-play ways _ to enjoy grand piano VI(s) with some backing instrument(s). The current issue with H6 is clearly some easy pilot error on my part. I may add a Scrn Shot Attachment, but I trust you know what I have described.RegardsThom B Last edited by sostenuto; 07-16-2022 at 01:38 PM. 07-17-2022, 10:03 AM #7 Human being with feelings Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: London UK Posts: 3,490 you need to set each slot to send to a different output. So where it says 'master' on the right of the slot, click there and a drop down menu will appear and you'll see all your halion outs.Also you will need to make a separate midi track for each instrument slot, the halion all outs are only the audio outputs with a master track. If you want multi timbral midi you need to add a midi track per instrument slot too.You need to google how to use Kontakt 6 in reaper , it's the same principal.....Or just open a separate instance of halion per instrument M 07-17-2022, 11:50 AM #8 Human being with feelings Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: St George, UT _ USA Posts: 2,881 Just tried Multiple Tracks of H6 each with different Strings /Instrument /MIDI Ch.Error pyramid shows in H6. Guessing entire issue is DEMO limitations. If so, much lost time and resources. H6 surely strong choice, yet feel better now to refocus on deep-dive in Omni v2.8 and Keyscape later.

The BBC orchestra is great if you can get it on a sale price when they run the sales.Halion is a great but it's very deep and does synthesis etc etc , if you just want good samples there's easier and better sounding ways.M 07-18-2022, 02:12 AM #10 Human being with feelings Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Geordieland Posts:Steinberg HALion 6 HALion Sonic 3 A

Producer’s stance, there might be a little too much harmonic content here for this patch to be easily inserted into a mix. This makes us think that these intense colours may provide their own backdrop, without the space for many additions, and requiring filter or EQ to create further mix-space.Baltic backdropsBaltic Shimmers is a classy product and a worthy addition to any Omnisphere owner’s library. It’s sensibly priced, with a clear product remit: provide sumptuous pads and drones for media compositions. This does not preclude additional programming though – the amalgamation of other Omnisphere samples will extend this package’s life.The registers of patches can be variable, with low-pitched material often presenting itself in the middle register of your controller keyboard. But that’s a minor gripe for a suite that has been assembled so beautifully during the sampling process.Do I really need this?As expansion packs go, Baltic Shimmers is pretty on-message with its brief. The use of organic sampled material that has been treated to a number of colourful effect and tape-based enhancements results in a collection of drones and pads that are big on detail and interest. As an overall colour, the package feels dark but, with experimentation, while residing alongside the rest of the excellent Omnisphere content, its patches could easily be adapted for other causes and colours. It has a distinct natural feel and flavour, and provides plenty of slowly evolving pads without the more pulsating elements that Omnisphere is recognised for.Key featuresNew collection of samples and presets, inspired by the seaMore than 140 curated patches and sourcesCinematic shimmers, pads and dronesSamples drawn from natural elements and acoustic/electric instrumentationPresented in a sample resolution of 48khz/24bit stereo1.5Gb disk space requiredRequires Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.6+AlternativesThe UnfinishedOmnisphere patch and sample libraries from £20From the studio of renowned composer Matt Bowdler, The Unfinished’s considerable collection of Omnisphere patch libraries spans many genres, with suitable representations for media, electronic music production and world music.

2025-04-10Hearing rumors re. H7 and potential FM enhancement ? what specifically is it you need from Reaper/Halion? It's just a multi timbral instrument like any other in how reaper sees it...Mid in per channel...audio out per channel.....that's it..everything else is Halion specific and any tutorial will cover those.M 07-16-2022, 11:16 AM #6 Human being with feelings Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: St George, UT _ USA Posts: 2,881 Open Reaper v6.64, approve outs. Add new Track = HALion 6. Typical HALion 6 > Master > Out 2 > Out 3 > etc. HALion 6 'Slot Rack' loaded with A1 Violin Solo _ A2 Cello Solo _ A3 Viola Solo, A4 Contrabass Solo, A5 Quartet Strings. Each assigned, in Reaper, to different MIDI Ch. Viola MIDI 1 etc. MIDI Keyboard Controller triggers only show on HALion 6, Master, Out 2. __ Audio only Out 2. Appreciate your help !! Plz understand, Reaper used daily, but in simplistic live-play ways _ to enjoy grand piano VI(s) with some backing instrument(s). The current issue with H6 is clearly some easy pilot error on my part. I may add a Scrn Shot Attachment, but I trust you know what I have described.RegardsThom B Last edited by sostenuto; 07-16-2022 at 01:38 PM. 07-17-2022, 10:03 AM #7 Human being with feelings Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: London UK Posts: 3,490 you need to set each slot to send to a different output. So where it says 'master' on the right of the slot, click there and a drop down menu will appear and you'll see all your halion outs.Also you will need to make a separate midi track for each instrument slot, the halion all outs are only the audio outputs with a master track. If you want multi timbral midi you need to add a midi track per instrument slot too.You need to google how to use Kontakt 6 in reaper , it's the same principal.....Or just open a separate instance of halion per instrument M 07-17-2022, 11:50 AM #8 Human being with feelings Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: St George, UT _ USA Posts: 2,881 Just tried Multiple Tracks of H6 each with different Strings /Instrument /MIDI Ch.Error pyramid shows in H6. Guessing entire issue is DEMO limitations. If so, much lost time and resources. H6 surely strong choice, yet feel better now to refocus on deep-dive in Omni v2.8 and Keyscape later.

The BBC orchestra is great if you can get it on a sale price when they run the sales.Halion is a great but it's very deep and does synthesis etc etc , if you just want good samples there's easier and better sounding ways.M 07-18-2022, 02:12 AM #10 Human being with feelings Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Geordieland Posts:

2025-03-30Producer’s stance, there might be a little too much harmonic content here for this patch to be easily inserted into a mix. This makes us think that these intense colours may provide their own backdrop, without the space for many additions, and requiring filter or EQ to create further mix-space.Baltic backdropsBaltic Shimmers is a classy product and a worthy addition to any Omnisphere owner’s library. It’s sensibly priced, with a clear product remit: provide sumptuous pads and drones for media compositions. This does not preclude additional programming though – the amalgamation of other Omnisphere samples will extend this package’s life.The registers of patches can be variable, with low-pitched material often presenting itself in the middle register of your controller keyboard. But that’s a minor gripe for a suite that has been assembled so beautifully during the sampling process.Do I really need this?As expansion packs go, Baltic Shimmers is pretty on-message with its brief. The use of organic sampled material that has been treated to a number of colourful effect and tape-based enhancements results in a collection of drones and pads that are big on detail and interest. As an overall colour, the package feels dark but, with experimentation, while residing alongside the rest of the excellent Omnisphere content, its patches could easily be adapted for other causes and colours. It has a distinct natural feel and flavour, and provides plenty of slowly evolving pads without the more pulsating elements that Omnisphere is recognised for.Key featuresNew collection of samples and presets, inspired by the seaMore than 140 curated patches and sourcesCinematic shimmers, pads and dronesSamples drawn from natural elements and acoustic/electric instrumentationPresented in a sample resolution of 48khz/24bit stereo1.5Gb disk space requiredRequires Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.6+AlternativesThe UnfinishedOmnisphere patch and sample libraries from £20From the studio of renowned composer Matt Bowdler, The Unfinished’s considerable collection of Omnisphere patch libraries spans many genres, with suitable representations for media, electronic music production and world music.
