Modulation Destinations
Depending on the selected type of zone, the available modulation destinations vary.
HALion offers you the following modulation destinations:

Pitch
Cutoff
Resonance
Distortion
Morph X
Morph Y
Description
Note-off velocity (how fast you released a key) can be used as a
modulation signal. Note-off Vel is unipolar. While most of the MIDI
keyboards cannot send note-off velocity messages, most
sequencer software is able to produce such messages.
The position of the pitchbend wheel can be used as a modulation
signal. Pitchbend is bipolar.
signal. Modulation Wheel is unipolar.
Aftertouch (how hard you keep a key pressed after you hit it) can be
used as a modulation signal. Aftertouch is unipolar. Some MIDI
keyboards cannot send aftertouch messages. However, most
sequencer software is able to produce such messages.
Any of the 127 available MIDI controllers can be used as a
modulation signal. You can select the MIDI controller from the
corresponding submenu.
The quick controls of the program or layer the zone belongs to can
be used as a modulation signal. You can select the quick control
from the corresponding submenu.
The eight note expression parameters of the program can be used
as modulation signals for the zone. You can select the note
expression parameter from the corresponding submenu.
Produces a random modulation signal. Noise is bipolar.
The audio output of the zone can be used as a modulation signal.
Output is unipolar.
Modulations that have been sent to one of the sixteen busses can
be used as sources again. This way, you can combine several
modulations to produce more complex signals. Select the
corresponding modulation bus to assign it as source.
Description
Modulates the pitch of the zone. For example, assign one of the
LFOs to create a vibrato effect. When Pitch is selected, the
modulation depth adjusts in semitones (-60 to +60).
Modulates the filter cutoff of the zone. For example, assign the step
modulator to create rhythmic patterns in the spectral timbre.
Modulates the filter resonance of the zone. Resonance changes the
character of the filter. For example, assign velocity to resonance to
accent the filter the harder you hit a key.
Modulates the filter distortion of the zone. This has no effect on the
Classic, HALion 3, and Waldorf filters.
Modulates the x-axis of the filter in Morph XY mode. Use this to
morph between the filter shapes AD and BC.
Modulates the y-axis of the filter in Morph 2, Morph 4, or Morph XY
mode. For example, use this to morph between the filter shapes AB
and DC.
