What HALO-2 Lite does
A set of 55 presets and 18 sample banks covers arpeggios, bass, reese sounds, pads, leads and effects, and presets can be dropped straight into a project or used as a starting point for editing. Four distortion modes are included, among them a bitcrusher and waveshaping distortion, although waveshape editing is disabled in this edition.
Key features
- Rompler and Synth One. Sample playback and the Synth One engine share one instrument, with sample frequency modulation and sample unison available on the sample side.
- Four multi-mode filters. Each of the four filters offers several filter types and can be routed to the sound sources in the patch.
- Dedicated pitch enveloper. A separate envelope generator controls pitch independently of the amplitude and filter envelopes.
- Editable LFOs and easy routing. Low-frequency oscillators can be reshaped, and the routing view connects sources to destinations.
- Limited arpeggiator. The arpeggiator is included in a reduced form compared with the full HALO-2 edition.
Compatibility
HALO-2 Lite is offered as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 10.15 (64-bit), with native support for Apple Silicon listed, 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB of disk space.
