Example Name Field and Status Messages
The Example Name display informs you about the sample path and name resulting
from your settings.
Below, a status message informs you how many samples are saved and if duplicate
names are created. For example, if two zones in the Program Tree have the same
name, and you use the variable "$(Zone)", this results in duplicate file names.
However, file names must be unique. Therefore, the duplicate file names are
automatically numbered.
Samples loaded from HSB files or protected VST Sound files cannot be exported.
The status message informs you if such protected files exist.
Files that are in use by HALion or another application cannot be overwritten. In this
case, choose a different location for the samples.
Some systems have problems with file names longer than 32 characters. Therefore, it
is best to use file names that do not exceed this number.
Setting the File Format
You can export the samples as Wave or AIFF files and specify a sample rate and bit
depth for them, if needed.
Do not change the sample rate of looped samples, because this can cause audible
!
artifacts.
Including Zone Settings
You can include zone settings when saving the samples. When you import these
samples back into HALion, they automatically get these settings.
The following settings can be written into the sample file:
Option
Key Range
Velocity Range
Root Key
Loop Setting
Sample Tune
Sample Gain
