MIDI Controllers
HALion allows you to assign almost any parameter to a MIDI controller. However, you can
only assign one parameter of a single zone, layer, effect control, etc. at a time. If you want
to use the same MIDI controller for several zones, layers, etc., you have to assign it several
times.
A more convenient way to control a zone parameter, such as the cutoff frequency for all
zones, for example, is to assign a quick control to that parameter and then assign the MIDI
controller to that quick control. This allows you to control all zones simultaneously and this
way, you can also preserve different cutoff settings per zone and simply control the offset
that is added by the quick control.
By default, the most common parameters like slot volume and pan, and the quick controls of
each slot are already assigned. The AUX FX send modules 1-4 for the slots are also assigned
and are controllable as soon as you load one of the AUX FX send modules for an insert effect.
To provide more control, you can set the minimum and maximum range for each assignment
separately.
Assigning MIDI Controllers
To assign a MIDI controller to a parameter, proceed as follows:
PROCEDURE
1. Right-click the control that you want to control remotely and select Learn CC.
2. On your MIDI keyboard or controller, use the potentiometer, fader, or button.
The next time you right-click the control, the menu shows the assigned MIDI
controller.
NOTE
You can assign the same MIDI controller several times to different parameters.
However, you cannot assign different MIDI controllers to the same parameter.
