The Halion Mixer - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Output Configurations in Different Hosts
Apple Logic 9
In general, HALion provides 32 stereo and one surround output connecting with the
host application or a hardware device in standalone. In most applications all of them
are available. However, Logic 9 only allows for 16 outputs for a single plug-in. When
opening an instance of HALion, you can choose one of four output configurations:
Stereo, 5.1-Surround, Multi-Output (1x5.1, 15xStereo), Multi-Output (16xStereo).
Ableton
Ableton Live 8 does not support surround busses.
Sonar 9
Sonar 9 allows to activate all outputs either in mono or stereo. For mono, you get 64
channels for the 32 HALion stereo channels plus six channels for the surround bus. If
the stereo outputs are activated, Sonar uses 32 stereo channels plus three stereo
channels for the surround bus.

The HALion Mixer

The HALion Mixer editor manages all busses that are available in a HALion instance.
These are the 32 stereo output busses plus one surround bus, the 64 slot busses, the
4 AUX busses and a dynamic number of program and layer busses depending on the
actual program architecture.
Each bus can be controlled using a dedicated mixer channel, featuring functions like
level, pan, mute, solo, and up to eight insert/send effects.
The Mixer editor provides a toolbar that allows you to specify which type of busses
you want to see at a given time.
