Difficult to say anything for certain about Halion 6 when it has not even been released yet.
Pricewise they cost about the same, with Falcon you need iLok, with Halion6 you need the eLicenser.
You can of course use the soft versions of these dongles to authorize, but in the long run dongles are preferred as you want to be able to easily use the products on different computers.

Of course, I am just saying that like Falcon you can't demo Halion 6 at this particular time.woodsdenis wrote:Give em a chance it hasn't even been released yetNumanoid wrote:But so far no demo for Halion 6 ....woodsdenis wrote:Steinberg do actually give full 30 day demos

I would think that only people who have used both would have a valid opinion here - that rules me out as I only have HALion.
I use HALion on every project, often it's the only synth, even though I have a dozen other synths...

Not only because of that, you don't own Halion 6 either.Googly Smythe wrote:I would think that only people who have used both would have a valid opinion here - that rules me out as I only have HALion.
If I would be interested to know about Kontakt, I would not ask a Kontakt 4 owner for advice, know what I mean

Halion 6 looks very interesting, and probably would be what i'd buy for sample mangling, and granular stuff.
But, let's face the real consideration here. To dongle, or not to dongle.

Halion 6 (and/or HS3) won't need the physical eLicenser just like Falcon won't not need the physical iLok. However Falcon contains 3 activations per license, while I suspect Halion 6 will only contain 1 activation per license.chk071 wrote:But, let's face the real consideration here.

I think Halion 6 can utilize all the physical cores of your processor.
I don't think Falcon does that. So, you can push Halion 6 quite a bit on a multi-core machine, compared to Falcon, which would be much more limited when it comes to utilizing your computer's processing power.
