Installation and setup
Setting Up
Selecting Outputs
HALion Sonic loads with a stereo output configuration by default. However, you can
use up to 15 additional outputs in Cubase. This allows you to route all 16 program
slots to a dedicated Cubase Mixer channel.
To make these outputs available, proceed as follows:
1. Open the VST Instruments window.
2. Click the output button for the HALion Sonic instrument.
3. Activate the required outputs.
Cubase automatically creates a MIDI track for each additional output and adds a
channel to its Mixer. You can now route HALion Sonic programs, layers, or drum
instruments (slices) to these outputs for further signal processing within Cubase.
Using HALion Sonic in an AU Compatible Application
You can use HALion Sonic in an AU host application (e. g. Logic). The AU version of
HALion Sonic is installed in your AU plug-ins folder and lets HALion Sonic work in an
AU environment without any performance loss or incompatibilities.
For Logic Pro, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Track Mixer and select the instrument channel that you want to use.
2. Click in the I/O field, and open the AU Instruments submenu.
3. On the Steinberg submenu, open the HALion Sonic submenu and select one of
the available channel configurations.
HALion Sonic is now loaded as an AU instrument.
HALion Sonic Standalone
HALion Sonic can be used as a standalone application, independently of any host
application. In this case, you can connect HALion Sonic directly to your audio
hardware. The controls specific to the standalone application are described in the
section
“The Controls in the Standalone Functions Section” on page 187.
