Selecting The Midi Input And The Audio Output; The Scratch Pad - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Selecting the MIDI Input and the Audio Output

In the top left corner of the control panel, two pop-up menus for selecting the MIDI
input and the main audio output of HALion are located.
The MIDI input pop-up menu lists all MIDI devices that are installed on your system.
• Open the MIDI input pop-up menu to select the MIDI device that you want to use.
The MIDI Activity LED in the top left corner of the control panel indicates incoming
MIDI messages via the selected MIDI input. The LED lights up on receiving note-on
and controller messages. This way, you can check if HALion and your MIDI keyboard
are connected to the same MIDI device input.
The Audio output pop-up menu lists all outputs of the selected ASIO device.
• Open the Audio output pop-up menu to select an audio output for the main stereo
channel of the plug-in.
If you select an audio output, the front and rear channels are set to incrementing
audio output ports – for example 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, 6, 7, 8.
Pressing [Alt]/[Option]-[Shift] and selecting an audio output assigns the audio
outputs in pairs to the front and rear channels – for example 1, 2, 1, 2 or 5, 6, 5, 6.
Use the Preferences dialog to select the ASIO device and other audio outputs.

The scratch pad allows you to record and play back MIDI files in Standard MIDI File
format (file name extension .mid). You can load existing MIDI files and you can record
your own files and save them. The transport section provides buttons for play, stop,
record and loop. The display shows the song position, the tempo and the time
signature of the MIDI file. In addition, there is a metronome that you can use for
recording and practicing.
The scratch pad can play back multi-track MIDI files sending notes on all 16 MIDI
channels. It also sends MIDI program change messages when a MIDI file is loaded.
