![]() ![]() ![]() I assume you own full Halion 6 and if so I wasn't sure what Flexphraser benefits there were compared to HS3. It was a revelation though to discover all of those FlexPhraser banks and the fact that they can be applied to any instrument! But still time-consuming I'd like to do one on NADA and one on the NKS templates that come from Freelance Soundlabs.įor me the video was about right as I own HS3 so I can always delve deeper myself. To do this video I had to learn how to use Cubase in OBS, set up the video to show the keyboard, how to record my voice separately, etc., but now I know this stuff, so doing another one should be a bit easier. But I think they will continue to follow the strategy of more instruments, because, as their deep discounts suggest, it doesn't work. An even better product would be a FlexPhraser MIDI plugin that would work with any virtual instrument. I think those expansions could be sold to people who just own Cubase and have Sonic SE. Definitely appealing to people who use loops, Toontrack, ujam, and some Sonuscore products. Technology that would be very desirable to the main market of musicians who can't play instruments (one-finger arrangements!) as well as still interesting to people who do know how to play piano and theory. With the FlexPhraser they have technology that nobody else in the business has. HALion is amazing, but when they sell it for peanuts they diminish its value, like Sonible and AIR do. Good luck catching up with Kontakt, UVI, EastWest and Best Service! That's a tall order. they come free with HALion! They also seem to be trying to get third party companies to make instruments for HALion 6. Sampled instruments that Kontakt people will not be impressed with and synths that are excellent but few will use because. My impression is that if HALion 7 ever comes along, it will have a ton of new instruments and synths. They do mention it as a feature on their site, but they've never promoted it, in my opinion. too bad, we were lucky to get such a cool thing for free. And if something worked in the workstation and not in Cubase. They took everything that was created 19 years ago in the Motif and Montage and popped it in and called it a day. I really got the impression that the FlexPhraser was not of any interest to them over there. I did talk to Greg Ondo from Yamaha/Steinberg when I was at IMSTA NY. However, everything can be routed to different outs, so it is possible to do a more interesting mix in your DAW. A lot of this stuff you wouldn't actually use in a track but they are fun to play. Also instead of just layering up guitars or pianos, it can be fun to layer up a one-person band with guitars, a bass and drums. Weird by itself but very interesting when you start layering different kinds of sounds. One thing that is cool is that some of them of them have empty spots-there could be a few beats of silence, followed by some notes. What I'm hoping is that people will just go in there and just try various phrases from the menus and hear what they sound like with different instruments. In a strange way I think I should have played more to show how cool it is, but when you're playing you're not explaining features. There's a lot more I could have said about using the FlexPhraser in the video but I forgot. Yeah, those FlexPhrase patches in Sonic are really great. You should definitely do some more videos btw! I also like your idea of selling Flexphraser expansions and wonder if you have put this to Steinberg? That combo patch you made with three guitars is killer and I am now looking forward to making similar things. I have just never gotten around to scratching beneath the surface of HS3 but it seems a whole new world of sonic possibilities are there for the taking with the Flexphraser. Those patches which use it just seem to have a lot going for them. It turns out that one of the reasons I really like Halion Sonic 3 is the Flexphraser and I didn't even know it existed until I watched your video! I hope to do more of them and get better at it. This is my first video demonstrating software in a DAW. This is something I wanted to do for a long time, but it took me a long time to figure out how to pull it off technically. As the sale only goes for a few more days (ends 2/24), I decided to finally get a video up on the HALion FlexPhraser. ![]()
