Adjusting the Phrase
• To shift the rhythm of the phrase, click Shift Phrase Right or Shift Phrase Left .
If you shift the rhythm of the phrase to the left, the first step is moved to the end. If you
shift the phrase to the right, the last step is moved to the beginning.
• To reverse the phrase, click Reverse Phrase .
• To duplicate short phrases, click Duplicate Phrase .
NOTE
The maximum number of steps is 32. Therefore, phrases that contain more than 16
steps cannot be duplicated entirely.
Trigger Pads
You can use the trigger pads to trigger single notes or whole chords and to switch between
FlexPhraser variations.
Many of the programs that come with HALion make use of the trigger pads.
If a note or a chord is assigned to a pad, this pad turns blue. If a pad switches between
FlexPhraser variations, the line above the pad turns orange.
•
To trigger a pad, click on it.
Presets
Pad presets save trigger notes and chord snapshots, but not FlexPhraser
snapshots. This means that you can exchange trigger notes and chords by
loading presets without loosing your FlexPhraser snapshots.
Bypass
Bypassing the Trigger Pads module deactivates any functionality assigned to the
trigger pads.

submenus, select the octave and note that you want to assign.

The name of the assigned trigger note is displayed in the top left corner of the pad.
