Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi page 122

• Sample Loop: This mode allows you to preserve the natural attack of the sample.
The decay of the envelope does not start until the sample has reached the sample
loop start. Set the second node to the maximum level. Then, use any of the
following nodes to shape the decay during the loop phase of the sample. This way,
the envelope only affects the level during the loop phase of the sample. The attack
of the envelope is still executed.
The Sample Loop mode is only available for sample zones.
Setting Up the Loop
You can set up the envelope to repeat its playback between the nodes you select.
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the envelope mode to Loop.
2. Adjust the loop with the graphical envelope editor.
• The loop is indicated by the green region in the graphical envelope editor. You can
specify the loop start and end by dragging the borders of the region.
The loop region can only be set up in the decay of the envelope.
Level Velocity Curve
You can select the curve type to specify how the incoming velocity translates to the
level of the envelope. The characteristic of each curve is displayed by a small icon.
Level Velocity (Vel>Lev)
Use this parameter to specify how the velocity affects the level of the envelope. The
level depends on this parameter and how hard you hit a key. Positive values increase
and negative values decrease the level of the envelope the harder you hit a key.
Norm
The Norm option allows you to normalize the velocity values that are used to control
the envelope. This option is also available in the Filter section, see
115.
Time Velocity (Vel>Time)
Use this parameter to adjust the influence of velocity on the times of the envelope.
Positive values decrease the times for higher velocity values. Negative values increase
the times for higher velocity values.
