Setting Up

The following sections describe how to use HALion as a plug-in in different host
applications. HALion can also be used as a standalone application. This is described
in detail in the chapter
Setting Up HALion as a VST Instrument in Cubase
We assume that you have correctly set up Cubase as well as your MIDI and audio
hardware, and that Cubase receives MIDI data from your external MIDI keyboard. If
you want to use HALion in another VST host application, please refer to the
documentation of the corresponding application.
Cubase provides two ways of working with VST instruments: the VST Instruments
window and instrument tracks.
Accessing HALion via the VST Instruments Window
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the Devices menu in Cubase and select the VST Instruments option.
The VST Instruments window opens.
2. Click one of the empty slots to open the instrument pop-up menu, and select
HALion.
You are asked whether you want to create an associated MIDI track connected to
the VST instrument.
3. Click Create.
HALion is loaded and activated, and its control panel opens. A MIDI track called
HALion is added to the track list. The output of this track is routed to HALion.
