Title says it all!

Cheers!

Probably yes. The Padhsop engine actually is the Halion granular engine, and it probably (i don't know, never demo'd it) has more features as well.

Post

yes, H6 just has more. The only advantages to the stand alone synth would be simplicity for patch development and interface use, and potentially performance.
If you have to ask, you can't afford the answer

Padshop Pro has hundreds of exclusive presets and samples not found in Halion. There's even more if you have the Zero Gravity expansion.

Not at all

Post

lets put it a different way. I have both. I haven't used Padshop Pro since H6 came out. Not one time other than to see how a particular patch was set. And I have a lot of the libraries for Padshop Pro.

Yes it is completely except for presets. Same goes for retrologue. The features are completely covered in Halion.

Yes that and the existing patches which are just too useful to let go of (plus I invested a lot of time in creating my own bank for it). Halion is overcomplicated and I have to fight the interface to use it, but the worst thing is simply the lack of Padshop patch import, if it had that I would have probably moved over and been motivated to learn it more but since it doesn't patch generation in Padshop is just so much easier and more rewarding.

Thanks for the input! I wonder if Steinberg will ever implement the ability for Halion 6 to import Padshop presets. That would be awesome.

Post

It has the same capabilities but not the presets. Good to know.

I thought this one was a little more specific than - Should I Buy Halion 6 at 50% off? :D

This thread is quite relevant to me.

Maybe if enough folks ask, Steinberg will implement Padshop Preset importation in a future update of Halion 6. That would be amazing. I haven't really ever dealt with Steinberg before besides that their support staff seem to think I am an imbecile.
