Quick Controls - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Quick Controls

Quick controls allow you to remote-control any parameter inside the program. For
each program and layer, eight quick controls are available. Furthermore, "Sphere H",
"Sphere V", and the modulation wheel can also serve as quick controls.
The quick controls can be accessed via the Quick Controls editor for a program or
layer.
Assigning Quick Controls
You can assign quick controls to a parameter of the program or one of its layers, to
zones inside a program or layer, or to parameters of a MIDI module or an effect.
Proceed as follows:
1. In the Program Tree, select the element that you want to remote-control via a quick
control.
2. Open the Sound editor.
3. Right-click the control to which you want to assign a quick control and open the
Assign Quick Control submenu.
4. On the submenu for the program or layer, select the quick control that you want to
assign.
You can assign the same quick control to different parameters. This allows you to
make complex sound settings with a single control. However, you cannot assign
different quick controls to the same parameter.
• To remove a quick control assignment, right-click the control, and select "Forget
Quick Control".
• To unassign a quick control in the Quick Control Assignments section, select the
quick control that you want to edit in the list on the left, right-click its assignment in
the list to the right, and select "Remove Assignment".
Single Assignment vs. Multi Assignment
You can assign a quick control to a single parameter of a zone or module (single
assignment) or to the same parameter of all zones inside a layer (multi assignment).
• Single assignments override multi assignments. For example, if a quick control
remote-controls the cutoff of all zones inside a layer and you assign the cutoff of
one of these zones to another quick control, the multi assignment is overridden by
this single assignment.
• If you remove a single assignment from a parameter of a zone that is part of a layer
that has a multi assignment on the same parameter of all other zones, the zone
becomes part of the multi assignment again.
• If you add another zone to a layer that has a multi assignment, the added zone gets
the same quick control assignments as the other zones of that layer.
