Option Description
Tempo The playback speed is calculated using the ratio between the original
tempo of the sample and the tempo of the host.
Beats The playback speed is calculated using the note length of the beats, the
number of beats, and the tempo of the host.
For the Sync modes to work properly, the loop of the sample has to be set up
correctly. In Tempo mode, the original tempo must be set as exact as possible.
• If you load a sample that contains tempo information in the file header, HALion
uses this information to set up the parameters "Original Tempo", "Note Length",
and "Number of Beats". If a sample does not contain any tempo information,
HALion estimates these values.
You can always modify the parameter values manually.
Speed
This control adjusts the playback speed of the sample in percent. You can speed up
the tempo by up to 800 % of the original.
In Music mode, the lower limit of the playback speed adjustment is 12.5 %. Values
below this limit have no effect.
Original BPM
When Sync Mode is set to Tempo, you can enter the original tempo of the sample in
beats per minute (BPM). HALion adjusts the playback speed of the sample to match
the tempo of the host application.
Note Length and Number of Beats
When Sync Mode is set to Beats, HALion calculates the tempo of the sample, based
on the note length and number of beats you enter. For example, if the sample is a drum
loop with four quarter notes, set Note to 1/4 and Beats to 4. HALion adjusts the
playback speed of the sample to match the tempo of the host.
Time Stretch Key Follow
This parameter adjusts the time stretch modulation using MIDI note numbers. Positive
values increase the playback speed of the sample the higher the notes you play.
Negative values decrease the playback speed the higher the notes you play.
Center Key
This parameter specifies the MIDI note that is used as the center position for "Time
Stretch Key Follow".
Legato
You can use this function to turn a vocal sample into a choir, for example.
When the Legato button is activated, you can add more voices while the sample is
playing. These voices are inserted at the current playback position. All voices play in
sync. If you play legato, the sample continues playing and you can change the chord
without restarting the sample.
Sometimes, the added voices can have audible clicks in the attack, for example,
because playback starts somewhere in the middle of the sample. You can
compensate for this by increasing the attack time of the amplifier envelope.
The Legato option only works within a single sample zone, not across separate
sample zones.
