AcustiX has released the AcustiX Steinway Piano II for HALion.

The AcustiX Steinway Piano II was created with the smaller equipped music workstation in mind, without compromising on sound quality. It uses just 70 MB of carefully selected samples from two famous Steinway Grand Pianos blended together.

The AcustiX Steinway Piano II is currently available in HALion 3 sample format and it makes extensive use of the built-in features of HALion 3 resulting in a compact instrument. Other sample formats may follow - an SF2 soundfont version is currently under development and will soon be available.

The AcustiX Steinway Piano II costs €69 and an 8 MB trial version in Halion 3 format is available for download. It is based on the same samples as the full version but has the following limitations:

  • All samples are limited to 2 seconds.
  • Total size less than 10MB (full version uses 70MB).
