Editing Selected Zones Or All Zones; Absolute And Relative Editing; Halion 3 Compatibility; Managing Sections - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Editing Selected Zones or All Zones

When working in the Sound editor, you can apply your editing either to the selected
zones (SEL) or to all zones (ALL), depending on the setting of the corresponding
button on the toolbar.
All zones are
affected by
the editing.

Absolute and Relative Editing

When editing multiple zones, you can either change values absolutely for all the zones
(ABS) or make relative changes (REL), depending on the setting of the corresponding
button on the toolbar.
• When you use absolute editing and you change a parameter from 50 % to 60 % for
one zone, all other zones will also be set to 60 %.
• When you use relative editing and you change a parameter from 50 % to 60 % in
one zone, another selected zone that was set to 70 % is set to 80 %.
Relative changes can be made for all parameters that can be adjusted continuously.
Changes of parameters that select one of multiple modes or switch between two
states are always absolute.

HALion 3 compatibility

The button to the left of the REL/ABS button lights up when you load an FXP file from
HALion 3 to indicate that HALion 4 is in compatibility mode. This way, FXP files sound
like they did in HALion 3. If you deactivate the compatibility button, some modulations
will sound different.

Managing Sections

The Sections toolbar allows you to customize the section display and to facilitate
navigating between sections. It contains one button for each section.
The buttons have the following three states: activated, deactivated, and locked.
The first button is activated, the second button deactivated, and the third button is locked.
When you activate a button, the corresponding section is shown. As soon as you click
another button, the section is automatically hidden and the new section is shown.
