HALion is a software instrument application, created by German music software company Steinberg for macOS and Windows.[1] It uses a sample-based approach to emulate the acoustic sounds of a full orchestra, such as the strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections, with multiple configurations for each instrument, allowing for variations in timbre.[1][2] It can also use multiple forms of sound synthesis to produce other software synthesizer audio.[3]

HALion can be used either as a standalone application, or as a VST, AU, or AAX (Avid Audio eXtension for Pro Tools) plug-in within digital audio workstation software.[4]
