HALion String Edition Vol. 1 is Steinberg's first complete string orchestra for computer-based music production. The included specially-developed VST- and DirectX- compatible player provides a direct connection to production systems like Cubase SX, Cubase SL and Nuendo. The 8 double basses, 10 cellos, 12 violas and 16 violins provided offer a perfect foundation for creating anything from a Hollywood soundtrack or a classic rock symphony. HALion String Edition Vol. 1 from Steinberg is a complete computer-based string orchestra with a 5 GB sound library. The well-known and successful musician and composer, Claudius Bruese, who has already made an important contribution to the development of the legendary VST piano, THE GRAND, also played a significant part in the production of the HALion String Edition. This software gives the precision in reproducing acoustic instruments, the superior sound quality and clarity, as well as the playing characteristics users around the world have come to expect of products bearing his name.
