HALion Sonic Play: Workstation

Play a mobile workstation-style instrument with a large preset library, quick sound controls and an arpeggiator.

Our take

Choose for sketching parts standalone or in a compatible AUv3 host.

Quick ADSR and sound controls favor immediate changes over deep editing.

Keep in mind: It is an instrument app rather than a complete recording studio, and each host's compatibility needs checking.

  • Instrument preset library
  • Quick Controls and ADSR shaping
  • Arpeggiator and AUv3 operation

Good for

  • Musicians building parts in a supported mobile music workflow.

Limitations & considerations

  • It is an instrument app rather than a complete recording studio, and each host's compatibility needs checking.

Privacy & permissions
