Bardstown Accordions, Jazz Guitars, Banjos, Now In HALion

[Bardstown Audio]

Bardstown Audio is pleased to announce that the 24 bit sampler format versions of the Bardstown Audio "Classic Accordions" and "Vintage Jazz Guitars And Tenor Banjos" are now available in native HALion 2 format. The 24 bit packaged versions of all of Bardstown Audio's sampled instruments, which also include the "Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Model 290," now contain HALion 2, in addition to Kontakt/Kompakt and EXS24.

With the assistance of Pinkcanary and the most recent upgraded version of HALion 2.0.3.4, it was an easy task to very nicely program the release note off samples on the jazz guitars and tenor banjos, which superbly capture the sound of the finger coming off of the finger board. HALion 2 has superb programming features in order to very nicely implement this feature. On the Envelope/Filter page of HALion 2, the individual user can very easily adjust the percentage of release amount with the "twist of a knob" in order to suit individual taste and preferences.

HALion 2 is a major improvement over HALion 1 with its beautiful transparent audio playback engine plus easy to use programming controls for the average user, for things such as filters and release note off sample control. The newly added Waldorf filters in HALion 2 are most musical and transparent.

HALion 2 integrates very nicely into not only Steinberg's Cubase and Nuendo, but also into Sonar, Samplitude, and also into Logic and DP with VST wrappers. Personally I use HALion 2 in Logic with the FXPansion VST wrapper with great success, in addition to using Logic's EXS24 which is a great sampler as well.

Any of our customers who have previously purchased the 24 bit packaged versions of any of these instruments from Bardstown Audio can contact me and I will gladly provide them with the HALion .fxp files for those instruments as email attachments.
