HALion Player vs HALion 3
HALion Player has a much reduced User Interface compared to HALion,
for example it lacks HALions Browser, Waveloop-, Keyzone- and
Modulation-setup Editor. Though HALion Player can load even the most
complex HALion 3 Programs, the creation of complete new Programs is
limited to the present basic sound parameters. This is just fine, as
HALion Player is targeted towards existing Library Users and Sampling
beginners.
HALion Player supports loading native HALion Content in fxp /fxb / HSB
format and Import of Wav / AIF / Rex / Rex2 / Zgr files, while HALion
allows importing almost every Sample Format available.
HALion Player allows only restricted access to sound shaping
Parameters via Q-Controls (up to 8 per program - pre-defined in HALion
3.1). If no pre-defined Parameters are present HALion Player defaults to
the most basic Parameters like cutoff, resonance and envelope settings,
for example for imported Samples. Q-Control target parameters can be
changed only in HALion, not in HALion Player.
