Using Key Commands
• To open the Key Commands dialog, open the Options Editor and click the Key
Commands button in the Edit section.
The commands are arranged in a hierarchical folder structure on the left. When you open
a category folder, the items and functions are displayed with any currently assigned key
commands.
• To set up a key command, select the function in the list, enter the key command in
the Type in Key field and click the Assign button to the right of the field. If this key
command is already used for another function, this is displayed in the field below.
• To delete a key command, select the function in the list, select the key command in the
Keys list and click the Delete button.
• To search for a specific function, enter its name in the search field at the top of the
dialog and click the search button.
NOTE
You can set up several key commands for the same function.
Presets
HALion offers two types of presets: section/module presets and VST presets. Section and
module presets store and recall the setup of a specific component on the HALion panel. VST
presets contain all information necessary to restore the complete state of the plug-in.
During setup, the factory presets are installed in a dedicated folder and a user folder is
created for your own presets. The handling of presets is the same throughout the program.
NOTE
Factory presets are write-protected, but may be overwritten when a software update is
executed. Presets in your user folder are never changed by the software update.
