Using Automation; Using Effects - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Using Automation

You can automate any program that is loaded into a slot. Each slot has its own set of
automation parameters, that means, Mute, Solo, Level, and Pan. In addition, you can
automate the Quick Controls of the program. You can access the automation
parameters from the automation track of your sequencer software.
Automation Parameters
Each slot offers the following pre-assigned automation parameters:
Parameter
Mute
Solo
Level
Pan
Quick Controls 1-8

Using Effects

HALion features AUX busses that can be used to realize classical send effects. All
slot, program, and layer busses as well as zones can send signal portions to these
busses. Each bus hosts up to eight insert effects, which allows you to set up complex
effects. The busses are then routed to either the main plug-in output or to one of the
individual outputs. Furthermore, the Mixer provides access to the master output bus.
These can be used to add a global EQ or compressor to the signal chain, for example.
In the Mixer, you can set up insert effects for AUX busses.
Using the Insert Effect Slots
All busses, including the master bus, have eight slots for insert effects. The handling is
the same for all slots:
• To assign an insert effect, click the effect slot, and select an effect from the pop-up
menu.
