• To remove an insert effect, click the effect slot, and select None from the pop-up
menu.
The effect is removed, including its settings.
• To bypass an insert effect, click the bypass button in front of the effect name.
The bypass is active when the button lights up yellow.
• To edit an insert effect, click the "e" button of the corresponding slot.
You can edit only one effect at a time. The parameters of the corresponding insert
effect are displayed in the bottom section.
Changing the Output Assignments
• To change the output assignment of an AUX bus, open the Output pop-up menu,
and select a different output.
Adjusting the Output Levels
• Move the fader of the AUX bus.
• Alternatively, double-click the value in the field below the fader, and enter a new
value.
Muting AUX Busses
• To mute an AUX bus, click the Mute icon.
The icon turns yellow.
The Master Effect Bus
The master bus works similar to the AUX busses. The only difference you will find is
that the master bus has no bus output selector since it is "hard-wired" to the main
plug-in output (1/2).
Multi-Channel Effects
HALion comes with a large number of effects that are mainly intended for use on
stereo busses. However, most of them can also be used on surround busses. In this
case the effect is processed on all channels. When a bus changes from stereo to
surround, the effect follows. For effects with level meters, the number of meters is
adapted accordingly.
Using MIDI Modules
The MIDI modules available in HALion range from standard modules like an Arpeggiator
(the so-called FlexPhraser) to more dedicated modules that trigger specific events or
deliver special modulation signals, for example, to control articulations of sampled
instruments. In general, MIDI modules process the stream of MIDI events inside a
program. In addition, they are able to produce monophonic modulation signals, which
can be used as sources in the modulation matrix. MIDI modules can be assigned to the
whole program or just a single layer. This way, you can process the MIDI stream of the
whole program or just parts of it. To cover more complex tasks, multiple MIDI modules
can be assigned in series.
