I use Halion Sonic v1.5. What is the difference with version 2 of Halion (regular) vs sonic?

I have been using other wavetables as well SGM2.01, Kontakt Bandstand, etc. In addition I use forte to tie it all together. For the right hand voices I use high quality samples, e.g., kontakt, eastwest, Bardstown, and many, many, many more.

Thank you

Good to hear from you again Frank. Just wondering what styleplayer you're currently using?

vArranger is always improving its universal sound module support with its GM GM2 GS and XG modes + instrument definition from INS files too. It is still not 100% perfect, but always improving through new free updates.

For each style, you can save the routing, so you decide that the BASS sound will go to one midi module, and the DRUMS will sound with another sound module or VST

I am also working on a 100% software package to go with vArranger. With SF2 support too

But from what I tested with Hypersonic2, the sound is very good.

I will receive the latest Steinberg Halion Sonic VST this week, and will test it very well too.

You can of course decide that the lowest octave of a midi keyboard will control fills, ending, and all other features of vArranger....

You can also decide that a Key will trigger ENDING 2 for a song, and ENDING 3 for another song...

Let me know if you need more information.


The big advantage of Hypersonic is that it produces the typical Yamaha sound and therefor is a very good soundsource for .sty files. (steinberg is owned by Yamaha)

I have got another question, has anyone been playing around with KORG styles? and how would it be to use a Kronos as the soundsource for those Korg styles?

As Ricky recently explained, it seems Korg styles style format is a bit more complicated then the others, and therefor requires a lot of work to implement.. Is it possible to get the guitar mode working?
