Muting And Soloing Zones; Showing And Hiding Zones; Fading And Crossfading Zones - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Numerically
You can also set the key and velocity range values using the value fields at the top of
the window.
When multiple zones are selected, only the values of the focused zone are displayed
in the edit fields. However, changing the values affects all selected zones. Like in the
Sound editor for a zone, you can choose between absolute and relative editing, see
"Absolute and Relative Editing"

Muting and Soloing Zones

You can mute and solo zones in the Mapping editor using the context menu.

Showing and Hiding Zones

You can show and hide zones using the Visibility context menu options.
Auto Visibility
The Auto Visibility option on the Visibility submenu allows you to control the visibility of
zones inside the Mapping editor. When it is activated, only the selected zone and the
other zones that are part of the same layer are shown.

Fading and Crossfading Zones

Zones in HALion can partially or totally overlap. Fades can be created in the horizontal
(key) and the vertical (velocity) direction. This allows you to successively add certain
sound components over the key or the velocity range.
To create fades or crossfades, proceed as follows:
1. Select the zones that you want to fade or crossfade.
2. Open the context menu, select the Crossfades submenu, and choose "Enable
Crossfades on Keyboard Axis", or "Enable Crossfade on Velocity Axis", or both.
HALion displays the fade handles.
3. Drag the handles to adjust the fade ranges.
Faded regions are shown in green.
Curve Shape
By default, the fade curve is exponential, but you can change the curvature by
dragging the curve up and down. The maximum curve setting represents an equal
power curve. This is useful for velocity crossfades.
Auto Crossfades
The Crossfade option on the toolbar can be set to Auto (the icon turns blue). In this
mode, the crossfade range is automatically adjusted when you move overlapping
zones.
Symmetric Crossfades
You can create symmetric crossfades for zones that have an identical key range and
an adjacent velocity range.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the two zones, open the context menu and on the Crossfades submenu,
select "Enable Crossfade on Velocity Axis".
The crossfade handles are displayed.
