The Options Editor - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

The Options Editor

The Options editor contains global settings regarding performance issues, global
functions, and MIDI controllers.
Performance Section
This section contains settings to optimize the overall CPU performance of HALion.
Max Voices
This specifies a maximum number of voices that a plug-in instance of HALion can play
back simultaneously. As soon as the limit is reached, HALion starts "stealing" voices.
Max CPU
To avoid clicks caused by CPU overload, you can specify a maximum limit for the CPU
load of the plug-in instance in percent. When the limit is reached, HALion automatically
starts stealing voices. At a setting of 100 %, no voices are stolen.
Because HALion needs some time to react, you can get CPU peaks that exceed the
limit you specified, which can lead to artifacts such as audio drop-outs. Therefore, it is
advisable to set the Max CPU value a bit lower than actually needed.
Voice Fade Out
This adjusts the fade out time for voices that need to be stolen because the Max
Voices or the Max CPU setting of the plug-in instance is reached.
Osc ECO Mode
When this is activated, the oscillators of synth layers run in ECO mode, and use less
CPU. This allows you to play more voices, but also produces more aliasing at higher
pitches.
