Setting The Focus; Zooming And Scrolling - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

The Toolbar
The toolbar at the top of the window shows the name of the focused zone and a
number of editing options for the mapping.
The Zone Range Section
Below the toolbar, the zone range section is located. Here you can set the values for
Low and High Key, Low and High Velocity, Root Key, Tune, and Gain of a zone. The
Tune and Gain parameters are only available for sample zones.
The Keyboard
The Mapping editor keyboard allows you to see with which keys a zone can be
triggered. It can also be used to trigger notes. Depending on the vertical position at
which you click the key, it produces a lower or higher velocity.
The context menu for a key contains submenus that show information on pitch and
velocity as well as the zones that are mapped to a key.
Keys with no zones assigned to them are grayed out.
Testing the Sample Mapping
• [Ctrl]/[Command]-click a key on the Mapping editor keyboard and keep the mouse
button pressed. HALion plays this key and all following keys at the same velocity,
for as long as you press the mouse button.
• Hold down [Ctrl]/[Command]-[Alt]/[Option] and click a key to play each zone ten
times, at increasing velocities from 1 to 127.
The Velocity Scale
The velocity scale on the left provides an orientation when adjusting the velocity range
of a zone. In the background of the scale, a meter indicates the incoming velocity
value. After each note, the meter automatically falls back to zero and leaves a marker
on the last velocity value.

Setting the Focus

When multiple zones are selected, you can click on a zone to set the focus. Alternatively,
you can use the Focused Zone pop-up menu on the toolbar to select a different zone.

Zooming and Scrolling

The Mapping editor can zoom and scroll in two dimensions: keyboard and velocity.
• To zoom in or out, click the "+" or "-" button on the scrollbars.
Once you have zoomed in, you can use the scrollbar to move to a specific velocity
or keyboard area.
• To zoom in or out, press [H] or [G] on the computer keyboard.
• To zoom in on a specific zone, double-click it. To zoom out, double-click again.
• To zoom in on an area where two or more zones are overlapping, double-click the
area. To zoom out, double-click again.
• To zoom to the selection, activate the S button next to the scrollbar.
• To zoom out completely or return to the last zoom state, click the A button next to
the scrollbar.
