HALion 4 VST Sampler and Sound Creation System by Steinberg The announcement is repeated below in simple text format :
Trial version of HALion 4 now available
Acclaimed VST sampler and sound creation system with great features and quality content for 60-day evaluation
HAMBURG, Germany October 4, 2011 Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH today released the trial version of HALion 4. With its top sampling and mixing engine, the virtual analog synthesizer and countless other features, HALion 4 provides a versatile solution to consistently push the envelope of sound design.
Combining sampling and synthesis technologies with mixing options, its unique morphing filter and FlexPhraser arpeggiator, the enhanced MegaTrig tool, more than 40 studio-grade effects and a vast library that spans over 1,600 sounds make HALion 4 an eminently powerful virtual instrument. HALions most prominent advantage is possibly the implementation of VST 3.5, with its innovative Note Expression for editing expression data polyphonically.

The 60-day HALion 4 trial version is available through the Steinberg website and requires a USB-eLicenser dongle. The full retail version of HALion 4 is available through the Steinberg Online Shop and authorized Steinberg resellers for EUR 349, including German VAT, and GBP 295, including British VAT.
