Alternate
This parameter allows you to alternate the pan position each time you play a note. For
example, a value of +100
% means the first note plays hard right, the second note
hard left, and so on. You can specify the pan position for the first time when you hit a
note with the algebraic sign: For negative values the initial pan position will be left and
for positive values it will be right. With the value in percent you determine the deviation
across the stereo panorama.
Reset
The initial pan position is set once after HALion Sonic is loaded. Then, HALion Sonic
counts each note you played to determine the next pan position. To reset this counter,
click the Reset button next to the Alternate control.
Key Follow
Here you can adjust the pan modulation from MIDI note number. Set this parameter to
positive values to offset the pan position towards the right for notes above and
towards the left for notes below the Center Key. Use negative values to offset the pan
position towards the left for notes above and towards the right for notes below the
Center Key. At the maximum setting of +200
% the pan position moves from hard left
to hard right within two octaves: Fully left is reached one octave below and fully right
is reached one octave above the center key.
Center Key
This parameter determines the MIDI note that is used as the central position for the
Key Follow function.
The Envelope Subpages
You can find the envelope subpages in the bottom section of the Edit page. The
envelope subpages of the synth and sample layers give you access to the four
envelopes of the layer, i.
e. Pitch (P), Filter (F), Amp (A) and User (U) envelope. Each of
these is a multisegment envelope with up to 128 nodes. The nodes specify the overall
shape of the envelope with their Time, Level and Curve parameters. The times and
levels of the envelope can be modulated by velocity. The Key Follow parameters
modulate times via MIDI note number. Curve allows you to adjust the curvature
between two nodes from linear to logarithmic or exponential behavior. The Sync
option allows you to synchronize the envelope times to the tempo of your host
application and you can set up a loop between two definable nodes. You can select a
second envelope that is displayed in the background of the edited envelope, serving
you as an optical or snap reference.
The Amp, Filter and Pitch envelopes are pre-assigned to the amplitude, the filter cutoff
frequency and the pitch of the layer. You can adjust the pre-assigned modulations in
the corresponding section of the layer. The purpose of the User envelope is freely
definable. You can select the User envelope as a source in the modulation matrix.
However, you can also use the Amp, Filter and Pitch envelopes as sources in the
modulation matrix.
To access the envelopes, proceed as follows:
1. Go to the Edit page and select the synth or sample layer you want to adjust.
2. In the lower section of the editor, click the button of the corresponding envelope
subpage.
