Groove3 HALion 7 Explained [TUTORIAL]

Steinberg’s HALion 7 is an impressive tool to say the least, but with so many options and features, it can be a bit intimidating at first. That’s where this HALion video course comes in. Veteran Groove3 instructor Eli Krantzberg takes you on a detailed tour of HALion 7, touching on all you need to get started using this instrument quickly and with confidence. Whether it’s simply choosing from preset sounds and making minor tweaks, going deeper and adjusting the filter, LFO, and envelopes, or building up your own sounds from scratch, it’s all covered here. Soon, HALion 7 will become a familiar companion, capable of producing the sounds you require with efficiency and effectiveness. We have designed these HALion 7 videos specifically for new HALion 7 users.

Eli kicks off the course with a brief overview of the interface, so you can get your bearings before we dive in. Then, as Eli explains the differences between programs, layers, multi-programs, and so on, you’ll learn the basics of loading sounds and become familiar with the Media Bay. He also covers the seven different types of zones used in HALion 7.

Next, explore the Sound Editor, where you’ll have access to global parameters that will affect an entire program or layer, and learn how to create and manage programs, layers, and zones in the Program Tree. You’ll then learn how to adjust the voices for each zone, including start/release behavior, glide, unison, and polyphony.

There’s way more to come as well, such as pitch control (tuning, pitch bend range, pitch modulation), FM Oscillator/Spectral, Oscillator/Grain, Oscillator (overview of main and specialty parameters), filter section, amplifier section (zone-based levels and panning, setting up aux send for parallel processing, etc.), envelopes (creating custom multi-stage envelopes, etc.), LFO section, step modulator (additional modulation possibilities for the filter and other elements), routing and audio architecture, macros (controlling parameters remotely from a separate window or MIDI controller), and more!

If you can dream it, you can probably make it happen in HALion, and this video course is the quickest way to bridge the gap from inspiration to realization. From preset scrolling to in-depth sound design from the ground up, there’s plenty in here for everyone.

Chords & Chord Progressions 101 [TUTORIAL]

Chords & Chord Progressions 101 [TUTORIAL]

This course is designed to help beginner pianists and music theorists learn about harmony through a focus towards chords and chord progressions. We start this course series at the most fundamental level, so that an absolute beginner can get started right away.

From understanding the difference between major and minor scales, to extracting chords out of scales to create full chord progressions, this course will help kickstart your understanding of chord progressions. The course works within the keys of C major and C minor, so that you aren’t expected to know every scale on the piano to get started. While this later expands in the following courses within this series, we start this course as simple as possible.

The course is designed to help beginner pianists learn enough about the basics of harmony so that they can start to create their own songs, and better understand the harmonic decisions of other composers. All that’s needed from the student to get things started is knowledge of the notes on a piano, that’s it!

We decided to go with a built-from-the-ground-up approach to accommodate players of all levels. So whether you’re new to the concept of harmony and chords, or you want to fill in your knowledge and strengthen your understanding of the basics of harmony, there’s room for you in this course.

What you’ll learn:

  • Understand the fundamentals of western music harmony
  • Build major, natural minor and harmonic minor scales
  • Extract chords out of scales
  • Learn about cadences and chord progressions
