The Music Room

The Music Room is a virtual instrument for HALion 6 or later, including the free HALion Sonic SE 3.5 (or later) and the new HALion Sonic 7 from Steinberg. 

The idea behind The Music Room was to produce a virtual instrument/sample library for soundtrack composing and modern songwriting, with an intimate and cinematic sound. It is comprised of 30 presets encompassing Piano, Strings, and Synth. 

Instruments and Presets
Piano
We recorded a Yamaha CF-III Piano with three microphone perspectives (Close high and low, far and near), allowing you to tweak the sound to your desire. The piano is focused on the low dynamic range for a more delicate sound, with pedal-on and pedal-off samples. The GUI allows you complete control of the sound with different filters, velocity curves, and reverb/delay. It also comes with a full-fledged arpeggiator.

Presets:

• The Piano
• Naked Piano
• Edge Piano
• Reverse Piano
• Quiet Piano

Strings
We recorded a string trio (Violin, Viola, and Cello) with four microphone perspectives performing pizzicatos and major and minor chords in different articulations. These presets allow for easy layering strings to your compositions.

Presets:

• Marcatos (major and minor chords)
• Short sustains (major and minor chords)
• Sustains (major and minor chords)
• 8th notes phrases (major and minor chords)
• 8th notes with accent phrases (major and minor chords)
• 8th notes with accent phrases, variation (major and minor chords)
• 16th notes phrases (major and minor chords)
• Pizzicatos (solo)
• Epiphany violins (solo)
• The Strings (solo)
• Special Strings (solo)
• Shorts Ambience (FX)

For the major and minor chord presets keys C3 to B3 are major chords, and keys C4 to B4 are minor chords.

We also packed in 11 synth presets for a modern hybrid sound. It comes with three oscillators and multiple controls with infinite sound possibilities.

Presets:

• Synth strings
• Synth pad
• Synth pizz

Arpeggiator
Piano presets, Pizzicatos and Synth pizzicatos have an arpeggiator with plenty of phrases to fuel your creativity. You can also make your own arp phrases. Check HALion manual for more info on the arpeggiator.
