Patchpool releases Cornucopia for HALion 6

Patchpool has released Cornucopia, a sound library for Steinberg's hybrid instrument HALion 6.

This sound library provides predominantly wavetable-based patches. All wavetables were produced exclusively for this sound library by re-synthesizing dozens of samples from various acoustic instruments (string instruments, woodwinds, brass), vocals, percussion and electronic textures.

The sounds focus on warm and moving pads, dark and epic drones, digital hybrids, animated sequences, profound bass and pluck sounds, cinematic textures and soundscapes, crispy mallets and obscure sound effects. Some patches also layer the wavetable synth with Halion's granular and/or sampling engine, some patches also make use of Halion's analog synth, a few patches only use the granular and/or sampling oscillators. All presets have a designed Macro interface with a background image, more complex modulation routings are sometimes also assigned to the eight Quick Controls at the bottom of the main interface and the modulation wheel, quite a few presets also make use of aftertouch.

The WAV-samples in Cornucopia are a mixture of field recordings, soprano sax tones and phrases, a huge gong recorded open air in a garden, tubular chimes (also recorded in that garden), electronic soundscapes, multi-sampled synth sounds and experimental electronic textures. All wavetables are embedded in the preset files, yet an additional folder with all wavetables used (plus some extra ones) is included in the download folder, so that the user can easily create new patches using these tables.

You can view/download the PDF for this sound library including the license agreement, more relevant info and a detailed patch list here.

Specifications:

• 103 tagged presets.
• 155 wavetables (153.1 MB, also available in a separate folder for easy access).
• 769.9 MB of original samples (67 WAVs / 48 kHz / 24-bit / stereo).
• Library size in total (with all assets): 1.03 GB.
• Delivery: download (compressed RAR-archive, download size: 768.5 MB).

Price: € 42 EUR. The full version of HALion 6 is required to play the patches from this library.

Please note: With the current release version of HALion 6, all tempo-synced envelopes programmed for this library play out of sync with the DAW and other HALion modulators (step modulator/LFOs). This is a known issue and will be fixed with the first maintenance update of HALion (version 6.0.1), to be released very soon.
