On/Off Buttons
These controls normally know two states, Off and On. When you move the mouse
over an On/Off button, it changes its appearance to show that you can click it.
Push Buttons
In contrast to an On/Off button, a push button only triggers an action and then goes
back to its inactive state. Such buttons can be found in several places for opening
menus or file dialogs.
Value Fields
You have the following options:
• To type in a value, click in the value field, start typing, and press [Enter].
If the entered value exceeds the parameter range, it is automatically set to the
maximum value.
• Click in the value field and drag up or down to change the value.
• Position the mouse over the value field and use the mouse wheel to adjust the
value.
• [Ctrl]/[Command]-click a value field to set it to the default value.
• [Alt]/[Option]-click a value field to bring up a fader.
• Click the up/down triangles next to the field to adjust the value.
You can adjust musical values, such as key ranges or the root key, using your MIDI
keyboard.
• To enter a value with your MIDI keyboard, double-click the value field, press a key
on your MIDI keyboard, and press [Return].
Using Key Commands
Key commands can be assigned to most operations that can be performed via the
standalone panel of HALion. The Key Commands dialog contains a list of all available
commands, arranged in a hierarchical way. When you open a category folder by
clicking the "+" sign beside it, the items and functions it contains are displayed with
the assigned key commands.
• To open the Key Commands dialog, open the Options editor, and click the
corresponding button in the Edit section.
