Virtual instruments HALion

I have Halion Sonic 7 (not SE). What is the difference between this and Halion?.

Thanks

HALion Sonic 7 is the free player for HALion content. It’s the successor of HALion Sonic SE 3 – so there’s no SE edition any longer. You can find a comparison chart of the different editions on the following page:

I stepped up to Halion 7 and have been making my own patches but can’t find them when attempting to load them into Halion Sonic. Do they not share patches?

Halion can load Halion Sonic presets but not the other way around.

You would have to export your preset as Halion Sonic layer then load it in Halion Sonic and save it as program preset.

I’ll need to figure out if there’s any value in doing that.

It seemed like Sonic should be just a ‘player’ version of Halion.
