Making Selections - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Applying Layer Settings to Zones
In some cases it can be helpful to apply the layer settings to the zones they contain.
1. Open the context menu in the Program Tree and select "Apply Layer Settings to
Zones".
2. Select which settings to apply. You can either apply all settings at once or one of
the following settings individually: Key Range, Velocity Range, Fine Tune, and
Level Pan.
All layer offsets are now calculated into the correspondent zone settings and then
reset to a neutral position.
Example:
A program contains layers that are limited to a specific key range. The contained
zones, however, use the full key range. In this case, all these zones fill the whole key
range in the mapping editor and it is impossible to see their real limitations. To solve
this, use the "Apply Layer Settings to Zones – Key Range" option so that the zones
inherit the limits of the layers. The layers themselves are reset to the complete key
range. Now, you can see the key range in the mapping.

Making Selections

The selection you make in the Program Tree defines which part of the program can be
edited in HALion. The editors automatically follow the selection and display the
available parameters. The name of the selected entry is marked in blue. If several
elements are selected, the one with the focus is available for editing. It is indicated by
an orange frame around its name. Any editing you perform always applies to the
selection.
Selecting Elements
• To select an element, click on it.
• Use [Shift] and [Ctrl]/[Command] to select a range of elements.
• To select all zones within the same layer, double-click one of its zones.
• To select all elements of a layer, double-click the layer.
• To select the entire content of a program, open the context menu, select the
Selection submenu, and choose "Select All".
• To select all subentries of an element, open the context menu, select the Selection
submenu, and choose "Select Tree".
Using the Selection Filter
The Selection Filter lets you select a group of elements by double-clicking on a
program, layer, or zone. By default, a double-click selects all elements of the Program
Tree.
