• An ultra-intuitive way of working with multiple instrument articulations, for example huge orchestra libraries, and introduces an editing concept that is not only user-customizable, but is also fully integrated with the Key and Score Editors
• Makes working with instrument articulations as easy as it should be - instead of handling all those MIDI controllers for switching articulations, VST Expression allows seamlessly and transparently integrated editing as well as full control over multiple articulations in the Key and Score Editors
• Articulations noted in the Score Editor can be played back immediately in real time by an orchestra or any other sample-based libraries like the all new electric and acoustic guitar, bass and brass expression sounds included in the new HALion ONE Expression Set 01

  1. Compatible with any current VSTi or stand-alone sample library, including Steinberg HALion Symphonic Orchestra and the new HALion ONE Expression Set 01
  2. Expression Map Editor provides mapping and remapping of articulation controllers, such as key switches, controller changes or MIDI channel remapping
  3. Using Expression Maps, projects can be ported for playback to a different sound device or library
  4. New Articulation Lane allows intuitive and fast editing of instrument articulations in the Key and Drum Editors
  5. When recording articulation changes, for example, key switches, the correct symbols are automatically added in the Score Editor

• An ideal, symphonic instrument for composition, production and pre-production in music, TV, film scoring and game sound
• It puts the awesome emotive power and sheer sonic majesty of a full symphonic orchestra under your total control with its full support for the new VST Expression feature

• Includes full editing capabilities

Mystic

• Unusual but inspiring instrument with lots of personality, making it the perfect complement to NEK 5's other integrated instruments
• Its synthesis uses a combination of physical modeling and comb filtering to generate unique and colorful sounds and is based on 3 parallel comb filters with feedback
• The sound source is an "impulse sound" based on physical modeling technology
• The harmonic spectrum of this sound is based on one of 6 waveforms and a set of 2 spectrum filters
• The sound can be shaped with a filter (damping), by adding an offset to the comb filters (detune), or by adding a noise component (crackle)
