How to import wavetables into HALion 7
SteinbergSoftware synthVerified
HALion 7 from Steinberg imports wavetables like this: wavetable Editor imports packed WAVs via Fixed Size and Window Size.
This guide gives the exact layout HALion 7 expects, the step-by-step load, the Hyperwave export settings that match, and plain fixes for the import failures the documentation warns about.

What HALion 7 expects
Imports wavetables saved as .wav files — one wave or multiple single-cycle waves. Auto-imported when the WAV header carries wave-size information; otherwise the Wavetable Editor's Fixed Size mode and Window Size set the single-cycle length.
Step by step
- Export from Hyperwave as a packed mono WAV.
- Load the .wav in HALion's Wavetable Editor and set the toolbar to Fixed Size.
- Set Window Size to the single-cycle length in samples, with Window Crossfade at 0%.
- For multiple waves, set Marker Creation Mode to Equal Distance with the number of markers matching your frame count.
Export settings for HALion 7
HALion 7 has no dedicated export preset in Hyperwave.
HALion has no fixed frame size — any packed WAV imports, and if the frame size is not picked up from the WAV header you enter it manually (in samples, ms, or Hz) in the Wavetable Editor. The default preset's geometry is a fine choice; what matters is remembering the number you exported.
- Default — 2048 × 256
- 2,048 samples per frame × 256 frames · 32-bit float · 48 kHz
