Setting the Character Values
Character attribute values can be set via a dedicated editor. This editor provides a list
of values that describe the character of a sound.

Content Files and Folder Structure

HALion has a large amount of ready-to-use sound content, made up of hundreds of
multis, programs, and layers. This content is write-protected. You can edit files while
they are loaded in HALion, but you cannot overwrite the factory content files themselves.
To save edits to the factory content, save the files under a new name. These files have
the name extension ".vstpreset" and are referred to as "user content". They can be
searched and categorized in the same way as factory content.
User content is saved in a predefined folder structure on your hard disk. You can
create subfolders within this structure, to facilitate moving or exchanging content (see
"Creating Subfolders for User-Defined Multis"

Loading HALion 3 Programs

HALion 4 allows you to load HALion 3 presets either from HSB container files or from
FXP/FXB files. To be able to load presets from HALion 3 HSB files, they have to be
registered in the HALion 4 MediaBay.
Registering HSB Files
1. Click the Import button on the right of the Category Filter toolbar, and select
"Register HSB/VST Sound Files".
2. Navigate to the HSB/VST files, select them, and click OK.
The MediaBay now has access to the presets.
• Alternatively, HSB/VST files can be registered by dragging them from the
Windows Explorer or Mac OS Finder into the HALion MediaBay.
