The Preview And File Info Section; Loading Files - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

The Preview and File Info Section

You can listen to the samples using the controls in the Preview section. These are the
same as in the Import dialog, see
The info display provides the following information about the focused sample: length,
channels, bit depth, and sample rate. If available, root key, key, and velocity range are
also shown.
Specifying a Destination Folder
When programs are imported, HALion creates a folder for each program. The name of
the folder corresponds to the name of the imported program. Inside this folder, HALion
creates a subfolder in which the corresponding samples are saved, if necessary.
The folder specified in the "Destination Folder" field is used to save samples from
bank or container files, such as GigaSampler files (".gig"). You can enter the path
manually or click the button to the right to navigate to a specific directory.
If you do not specify a destination folder for sampler formats that use container files,
you are asked to do so during the first import operation. This folder is then used for all
following operations.
Adding Presets to the MediaBay Automatically on Import
The "Automatically Add Preset to MediaBay on Import" option allows you to
automatically create VST presets for each imported program in the user presets folder
of HALion, thereby making them available in the MediaBay. When this option is
deactivated, an imported program is only available in the current HALion instance. To
use it in another project, you have to save it first.
Missing Samples
If you browse the samples of a program and you cannot load or prelisten them, they
may have been moved or deleted. In this case, the sample info displays "Sample not
found". To remedy this, load the program again and make sure that no samples are
missing, see
program with the restored sample paths.

Loading Files

You can load selected programs, layers, zones, or samples by dragging them from the
results list to the Slot Rack, the Program Table, or the Program Tree. Programs, layers,
and zones can also be dragged directly from the tree. In all cases, the Import Folder
dialog opens, where you can specify how to import the contained subfolders and
samples, see
You can also use the key commands [Return] and [L] to load the file that is focused in
the results list into the active slot in the Slot Rack.
Some file types, such as protected Kontakt programs, cannot be loaded. In this case,
an icon is displayed to indicate that the file format is not supported.
