Editing Layers
• The curve editor offers different presets which you can select from the pop-up
menu above the curve. To set up your own curve, select the Custom preset from
the pop-up menu.
• You can edit the curve graphically with the mouse when the Custom preset is
selected. Double-click in the editor to insert a new node. Double-click on a node
to delete it. Drag the nodes to new positions to adjust the basic shape of the
curve. Drag the lines between the nodes up or down to change the curvature.
Setting up a Modulation
To set up a modulation, proceed as follows:
1. Select the synth or sample layer you want to adjust.
2. Click the Matrix subpage button.
3. In one of the modulation rows, select a modulation source and destination, such as
LFO1 as source and Pitch as destination.
4. Use the horizontal fader below the destination to adjust the modulation depth.
5. Play a few notes to hear the modulation.
6. You can select a modifier or change the polarity of the source.
For example, from the “Source 2” pop-up menu, select Pitch Bend as the modifier
and set its polarity to unipolar.
7. Play a few notes to hear the modulation and use the pitchbend wheel from the
example.
8. Finally, use the curve and range editor to limit the modulation range or to adjust the
characteristic of the modulation.
Modulation Sources
The modulation sources are available from the Source and Modifier pop-up menus.
HALion Sonic offers you the following modulation sources:
Option Description
LFO P1 The first LFO of the layer which produces cyclic modulation signals.
LFO P1 is polyphonic which means that each voice is modulated
independently.
LFO P2 The second LFO of the layer which produces cyclic modulation
signals. LFO P2 is polyphonic which means that each voice is
modulated independently.
LFO M3 The third LFO of the layer which produces cyclic modulation signals.
LFO M3 is monophonic and modulates all voices simultaneously.
LFO M4 The fourth LFO of the layer which produces cyclic modulation
signals. LFO M4 is monophonic and modulates all voices
simultaneously.
Amp Envelope The amplifier envelope of the layer. The shape of the envelope equals
the modulation signal. The amplifier envelope is unipolar.
Filter Envelope The filter envelope of the layer. The shape of the envelope equals the
modulation signal. The Filter envelope is unipolar.
Pitch Envelope The pitch envelope of the layer. The shape of the envelope equals the
modulation signal. The pitch envelope is bipolar.
User Envelope The user envelope of the layer. The shape of the envelope equals the
modulation signal. The user envelope is bipolar.
Step Modulator The step modulator of the layer. This produces cyclic, rhythmically
stepped modulation signals. The step modulator is bipolar.
