Using the HALion Standalone Version

Introduction

When you use HALion as a standalone application, an additional section is added at
the top of the control panel. Here, you can define key commands, set up audio and
MIDI interface routings, adjust the master volume and access the integrated MIDI
scratch pad, which allows you to record your musical ideas without having to start a
MIDI sequencer application. It can also be used to play multitrack arrangements that
trigger the different programs of HALion.

Making Preferences Settings

You can configure the standalone version of HALion in the Plug-In Preferences dialog.
To open the Plug-In Preferences dialog, proceed as follows:
• Click the Open Preferences button (the cogwheel symbol) to the right of the audio
output field.
• Right-click in the topmost section of the control panel and select "Plug-In
Preferences" on the context menu.
The Plug-In Preferences dialog has several tabs on which you can make the following
settings:
• On the MIDI Routing tab, you can access the 64 input ports in groups of 16. The
groups of input ports are named Rack A, B, C and D. For each rack, you can make
the following routing settings:

Filter 'All Notes Off'

Description
Use this pop-up menu to specify a MIDI input.
Use this parameter to decide whether HALion records MIDI
events on all MIDI channels, or only on one specific channel.
Activate this parameter to avoid unwanted "All Notes Off"
messages.
Such messages are sent by some keyboards when the last
key is released. This causes HALion to stop playback, even
when the sustain pedal is still in use.
