The Quick Controls
• To achieve a unipolar behavior of quick control in Relative mode, set the range
from 0
% to +100 % (or -100 %).
Trimming the Range
The Trim Range function allows you to optimize the quick control range depending on
the current parameter value.
To trim the range on the quick control page, proceed as follows:
1. Go to the quick control page of the respective program or layer.
2. Right-click the assignment entry.
3. Select “Trim Range”.
4. The minimum and maximum is set automatically.
Ö As soon as you change the original parameter in the editor section again, the Trim
Range function has to be reapplied to guarantee the best control range.
About the Neutral Setting
If you adjust the range of a quick control assignment, the resulting sound can change,
for example, if the assignment uses the “Switch” or “Switch Relative” mode. If you
adjust the range of a quick control that has only one assignment that uses Absolute or
Relative mode, HALion Sonic adjusts the setting automatically so that the sound does
not change. If you assign multiple parameters to the same quick control, HALion
Sonic sets the range of the added quick control assignment so that the sound does
not change.
However, if a quick control has multiple assignments and you change the range of one
or more assignments, the neutral setting cannot be set automatically. In this case,
adjust the ranges, and then open the context menu for a particular assignment and
select “Set Quick Control to Neutral Setting”.
Adjusting the Curvature
You can adjust the curvature of each assignment separately. The curvature describes
the characteristic how the assigned parameters are changed. The characteristic can
be anything between logarithmic, linear and exponential.
Ö The curvature can only be adjusted on the quick control page.
To adjust the curvature of an assignment, proceed as follows:
1. Go to the quick control page of the respective program or layer.
2. To the left of the section, select the quick control you want to edit.
3. To the right of the section, use the text control in the middle below each
assignment to set the Curve parameter. Positive values of curve change the
curvature towards logarithmic and negative values towards exponential behavior.
Alternatively, you can edit the Curve parameter graphically in the curve display to
the right by dragging the curvature up and down. Dragging up adjusts the
curvature towards logarithmic, dragging down towards exponential behavior.
