Managing Modulation Rows
To copy a modulation row, proceed as follows:
1. On the context menu for the source row, select "Copy Modulation Row".´
To move a modulation row instead of copying it, select "Cut Modulation Row".
2. On the context menu for the target row, select "Paste Modulation Row".
• To insert an empty row, select "Insert Modulation Row" from the context menu.
• To remove a modulation row, select "Remove Modulation Row" from the context
menu.
An empty modulation row is appended to the list to keep a constant number of 32
rows.
You can copy modulation rows across different programs or even between different
instances of HALion.
Unipolar vs. Bipolar Sources
The polarity of a modulation source specifies the value range it produces.
• Unipolar sources modulate between 0 and +1.
• Bipolar sources modulate between -1 and +1.
By default, some sources are unipolar and others are bipolar. However, you can
change the polarity of a modulation source at any time.
• To change the polarity of a source, click the button to the right of the
corresponding source.
Using the Curve and Range Editor
You can set up a curve and range for each modulation source.
• The curve and range editor displays the settings of the selected source. To adjust
the settings of a different source, click the button to the left of the source you want
to edit.
• The curve editor allows you to change the characteristic of a modulation. The
displayed curve is superimposed on the modulation source.
This way, you can change the modulation from linear to exponential or logarithmic,
for example.
• By setting the minimum and maximum values, the modulation stays within the
specified range only. In addition, you can specify an offset and a range for the
modulation.
For example, with an offset and range of +50 %, only the second half of the
displayed curve is superimposed on the modulation.
The curve editor offers different presets that you can select from the pop-up menu
above the curve. To set up your own curve, select the Custom preset.
• Double-click in the editor to insert a new node.
Double-click on a node to delete it.
• Drag the nodes to new positions to adjust the basic shape of the curve.
• Drag the lines between the nodes up or down to change the curvature.
