The FlexPhraser

HALion features an arpeggio and phrase player: the so-called FlexPhraser. You can
select from a great variety of phrases that suit a wide range of musical instruments
and styles. Depending on the selected phrase, the FlexPhraser uses your live playing
to modify the phrase in real-time. This allows you, for instance, to re-harmonize
phrases by playing different chords.
FlexPhraser presets
In the top right of the FlexPhraser editor, you can load and save presets for the
FlexPhraser. In addition to the selected phrase, these presets also contain the
performance settings of the FlexPhraser, such as Tempo, Tempo Scale, Loop, Swing,
etc.
Presets can only be saved and loaded for phrases, not for sliced loops.
Loading Phrases for the FlexPhraser
The phrases are sorted into subfolders, according to the type of instrument. Each
instrument subfolder contains phrases of different musical styles.
To load a phrase, proceed as follows:
1. At the top of the FlexPhraser, click in the Phrase field.
2. On the pop-up menu, open the submenu for the instrument, and select the phrase
you want to load.
In general, you can apply any phrase to any type of instrument. However, a phrase for
guitar might not be suitable for use with a piano, for example.
