Auto-Scroll - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Defining Sample Start and End from a Selection
• Make a selection, right-click in the Sample editor, open the Selection submenu,
and select "Set Sample Start/End to selection".
Creating New Zones from Selections
• Make a selection, right-click in the Sample editor, open the Selection submenu,
and select "Create Zone from Selection".
The new zone is inserted below the source zone.
Snapping
Snap to Markers
When the Snap option is activated, you can snap the selection start and end points
and markers to other markers.
Snap to Zero Crossing
When this option is activated, markers and selection start and end points are only
placed at zero crossings (positions in the audio where the amplitude is zero). This
helps you avoid pops and clicks that are caused by sudden amplitude changes.

Auto-Scroll

When this option is activated, the waveform display is scrolled during playback,
keeping the playback cursor visible in the editor.
Read Root Key and Tuning from File
This context menu option allows you to set the root key and tuning to the values that
are saved in the sample file, if available.
• Right-click in the Sample editor, open the Sample submenu, and select "Read
Root Key and Tuning from File".
The current zone settings are overwritten by the sample file settings.
This option is only available if the corresponding information is available in the sample
file.
Show File in Explorer
• Right-click in the Sample editor, open the Sample submenu, and select "Show in
Explorer" (Win) or "Show in Finder" (Mac).
Editing Samples in an External Editor
HALion allows you to specify an external Sample editor application that can be used
to perform destructive offline editing on a sample. You can specify the location of this
application in the Edit section of the Options editor, see
page 50.
Note that not all sample editors provide the same functionality and that certain
features, like transferring the sample loop markers, are not always possible. To get the
best results, use Steinberg's WaveLab.
