The idea behind Materials – Wood and Water
The goal was to create a cinematic instrument whose “raw materials” were already full of character and personality. The key to achieving truly unique sounds was custom processing with vintage and modern outboard, as well as recordings of unusual instruments and articulations. By shaping these further with everything that HALion has to offer, the result is an instrument full of creative potential and high-class sound design, just waiting to be unleashed on your next production.
Designed by Magnetic 96 and Steinberg
Magnetic 96 — a collaboration between Tobias Menguser and Stephan Lembke — has previously worked with the biggest names in virtual instruments, like Native Instruments, Heavyocity, Softube and Arturia. Bringing their skills to the HALion universe, Tobias and Stephan are creating a series of unique, outstanding HALion instruments which focus on unusual sound sources, extraordinary processing and creative preset design.
