Steinberg Dark Planet

Steinberg has announced the release of Dark Planet, a soundset for expansion pack for HALion 4, HALion Sonic and HALion Sonic SE, featuring brand-new loops and instruments, perfect for cinematic scores and ambient music.

Offering a palette of electronic sounds from which to choose, Dark Planet is a vast, emotional world full of ethereal colors and ghostly shapes.

“If you’re looking to create a movie-like sound experience, with ambient soundscapes and haunting phrases, you just won’t get around this one,” commented Matthias Quellmann, product marketing manager at Steinberg.

Dark Planet comprises 800 presets including lead, bass, pad and percussion loops and instruments as well as high-quality sample content that spans more than 2 GB in size. Its prominent MorphFilter boasts four classic filter types for blending two filters at a time. The Macro Page transforms the HALion host into an extraterrestrial adventure, providing immediate access to the sound control parameters of Dark Planet.
