HALion Symphonic Orchestra presets volume level

got that same problem not so long ago. The best solution is to go trough each of the presets and adapt them to your personal preferences and save them as vstpreset. Quite a job, but once done that problem is gone. Things like changing the expressioncontroller (i choose to change it to velocity), some standard panning correction, adding some basis FX will make it much more intuitive and then you will note that this is actually a nice soundbank. If you’re into classic orchestration composing then the controller assignment to the modwheel is usefull (to get “expression”) but for me it was also not practicle to hear anything, certainly when those presets are only a part of a larger setup.

kind regards,
