New Features
HALion String Edition 2 comes courtesy of a major revitalization effort: The direction strings featured in Edition String Vol.1 have been overhauled and endowed with new high-quality solo strings programs. And though the original VST instrument was certainly a sweet string machine, the new HALion 3.1 Audio Engine and the adjustable Real Ambience room sound certainly add more than just a touch of tonal class to this revamped version. Groovy new features abound, from system resource-conserving functions to real-time control of sound parameters.
