Editing Zones In The Sound Editor; Introduction; Global Zone Settings - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Introduction

The Sound editor for synth and sample zones contains the zone parameters in
HALion. It allows you to modify the settings for a single zone, for multiple selected
zones, or for all zones at the same time.
If not expressly stated, the functions described in this chapter apply to both synth and
sample zones.
All functions and parameters described here also apply to the Zone Editor.

Global Zone Settings

The global section at the top of the Sound editor allows you to set up basic zone
parameters.
Focused Zone
On the Focused Zone pop-up menu, you can select a zone for editing when several
zones are selected in the Program Tree.
Low Key/High Key
These parameters determine the lowest key and the highest key on which the zone is
triggered.
Low Vel/High Vel
These parameters determine the lowest velocity and the highest velocity on which the
zone is triggered.
Root Key
The root key determines the pitch of the zone. Samples can contain root key
information embedded in the file, which means that when loaded, they are
automatically mapped to the corresponding keys.
Zone Type
HALion allows you to change a sample zone into a synth zone and vice versa. If you
switch a sample zone to a synth zone, the sample oscillator is replaced by the synth
oscillators. You can select the zone type from this pop-up menu.
