In this series I talk about Steinberg's flagship sampler/workstation, Halion 6. It's utterly monstrous - a hugely powerful instrument capable of creating just about any sound you can imagine... but it's intimidating in both scope and interface, so in this series I break it down into bite-sized sections and show you, from first principles, how I try to make sense of it all.
In this episode I talk about how to get samples into Halion. There are two main ways: either recording them live or importing them from wave files. I discuss both options, and show you how to map different samples across the keyboard by pitch and velocity.
I think it's one of the best features of Halion. Steinberg has made it incredibly easy to create entire instruments with astonishing speed.
About me:
My name is Anthony Chisnall. I'm a musician & songwriter. I've created this channel - One Man and His Songs - in order to share with you everything I learn as I write songs and improve my songwriting skills. Check out my 'Back on Track' video series, and watch my songs evolve each week - rhythms, melodies, lyrics, production... everything that goes into making professional-sounding music of which I can be proud!
I play the electric and acoustic guitar, and the bass guitar, and record all of my own synth-based sounds myself too, but I can't sing very well (huge understatement!), and so my wife, Pauline, who has a lovely singing voice, has come to my rescue. You'll hear her on all of my songs.
All of my music is written in Steinberg's Cubase. On this channel you'll find an ever-growing library of tutorial videos focusing on Cubase, VST instruments, and tips and tricks to help with writing music.
All of my videos focus strictly on being PRACTICAL guides - if I don't use a feature, I'm not going to waste your time trying to sound like an expert on it! This is the stuff I use day-to-day, so I think that's also what you'd like to hear me talking about.
