How to Create Your First Sampled Instrument | Production Lab With Dom | HALion 7

Why not create your own sampled instrument? It makes a lot of fun, and it is a way easier than some might think. From sampling an analog synth to adding a filter and effects: Dom shows you how to build your own sampled instrument.
And if you have any wishes for future topics of Production Lab, please let us know in the comments.

Great as always. Thank you Dom 👍😀

Nice. 20 year old Emu X3 has auto sampler that sends midi to the synth and captures multiple velocity layers for each note and creates patches from captured samples.. Maybe we can have that in the next update for Halion ;)

[@KroniosPTT]

More? More, more, more.... I hesitate to start create instruments, but it seems this time has gone. Thx a lot for sharing this.

[@javierpenya]

Great Dom, thanks. It is a pity. I have Cubase 12 Pro with Halion Sonic SE, and no possible upgrade to Halion 7 unless I buy Halion 7 from the scracht.

[@BojanBojovic]

This is still very, very rudimentary. After Apple purchased and destroyed Redmatica Keymap Pro and Autosampler, there is nothing on this planet that does the same job.
Yes, they introduced the Autosampler in Mainstage but much, much less powerful than what it originally was, and they made the new Sampler from Keymap Pro, but again it has 20% of available functions.
Redmatica was simply brilliant, incredible how Apple simply killed it, even more incredible how nothing similar exists today.

[@BojanBojovic]

@@fabrizioassandri9760 Thanks, but not even close.

[@Byron101_]

you can do this with Halion too.
Otherways it's no drama to use a midi Event for this. Halion maps and loops automatically.

[@BojanBojovic]

@@Byron101_Thanks. What kind of loops it has? Does it have manual loop creation, batch looping, one cycle loops, penrose machine, mobious machine, and forward+backward looping together with crossfades?

[@Byron101_]

would like to see more Halion tutorials !!

[@nomore6167]

Just as a word of caution, before you use anything to create your own sampled instrument (or sample packs or loops), read the license that came with your product (whether your product is physical hardware or software). I don't have any hardware to check, but I know that many software companies (such as UVI) explicitly forbid you from using their software to create any instruments, sample packs, loops, etc. For example, you cannot use UVI's Falcon to generate tones using sine wave oscillators and then create an instrument or loops using those tones. Always read the license to ensure your usage is covered by the rights granted to you.

[@GregSimon]

This is great but still confused why neither Halion or Kontakt do automatic instrument capture (Like Mainstage does).

[@squidbeach]

I am curious why you didn't simply choose create a midi input track to operate your synth. You cold quantize the midi notes (one per key) and then just play your midi track and record all your synths output at one time. Slice audio and add markers and then export the mixdown with the marker option and you're done. All perfect identical samples starting at the optimal time.

[@martinmorris5812]

Does the "As played" function only work with midi or also with audio?

[@ageshero]

That nord sample editor looking sweet right now

[@elya5593]

This synth sound! No no, no no limit. 😅

[@massimoiula]

It will be useful to know how to sample the instrument Dinamically. With the velocity that modulate the filter of the Synth for every note and than sampling ;)

[@Frank.Zimmermann]

🤩 Fantastic Dom, thank you so much!! 😃👍👍

[@DeanPachano]

for us newbs I think you should at least explain the differences of performing some of these tasks in cubase vs stand alone. I thrash sometimes to repeat the same process in cubase.

[@DeanPachano]

and I love these tutorials - keep them coming - been a HUGE help! :)

[@tenderklang]

Great! Thank You😀

[@JayKay0245]

Another great video! Thanks Dom

[@christianschulling5016]

Unfortunately this does not seem to work on MacOS at the moment, I wanted to sample my MicroKorg.
But apparently the recording is not started correctly, so that everything is always empty. The yellow play button deactivates itself every time.

[@Cap10NRGMusic]

Nice video man - I love Halion and it seems (in my opinion) that it get's overlooked more than it should by musicians. It's great to see some videos that bring it's use out of the shadows and into the forefront of producers and musicians!

[@TranceElevation]

How is the Prophet 10 a mono synth Dom? What am I missing here...

[@DomSigalas]

Mono, not monophonic 😉

[@gennarosicurezza5107]

Great explanation, finally I understood better how to use Halion 7

[@dirska2]

Where do you have this T-shirt from? It's so cool!

[@huberteiden]

Thanks a lot for your advice

[@mozizo11]

thanks, very helpful 👌
