Sample Recorder
255
The ruler above the display can be switched between Beats, Seconds, and Samples.
Input Monitoring
The Sample Recorder can play back the input signal. The input monitoring controls are
located on the right below the waveform display. Activate Enable Input Monitoring to hear
the signal at the input of the Sample Recorder and specify the routing and the level for
monitoring.
This is useful if you have routed an audio track from the DAW to HALion’s side-chain input. In
this case, the signal of the track is no longer sent to the master bus of your sequencer and
cannot be heard.
NOTE
When you are routing a send from a track in the DAW to HALion’s side-chain input, the
original track remains audible and you can deactivate Monitor Input.
Main Tab
Record/Record Enable
The behavior of this button depends on the Start setting in the Trigger section.
• In Manual mode, this button starts/stops recording.
• In the Audio Threshold, MIDI Note-On, and MIDI Note-Off modes, this
button record-enables the Sample Recorder. This means that recording
starts as soon as the audio signal exceeds the threshold or a MIDI note-on
or note-off event is received.
NOTE
The Sample Recorder always records the sample for the selected program or
layer. Every recording creates a new sample zone.
Play/Stop
The behavior of this button depends on the Start setting in the Trigger section.
• In Manual mode, the Play/Stop button starts/stops playback of the
recorded sample.
• In the Audio Threshold, MIDI Note-On, and MIDI Note-Off modes, the Play/
Stop button starts/stops recording.
Reset Recording
Removes any recorded audio, allowing you to start over.
Input Source
Allows you to select the source from which to record. You can use HALion’s side-
chain input, the output of one of the slots in HALion or one of the plug-in outputs.
NOTE
Only the available options are shown on the menu, that is, outputs for empty slots
or plug-in outputs that have not been activated are not shown.
