MIDI Controller Section

With the two buttons in this section, you can save your customized MIDI controller assignments as default or restore the factory MIDI controller assignments.

The current MIDI controller mapping is also saved with each project. This way, you can transfer your settings to other systems. The project includes the MIDI controller assignments of the AUX FX as well.

If this option is activated, HALion responds to program change messages. These are used by General MIDI (GM) files, for example.

GM files can contain information about pitchbend range, coarse tuning, and fine tuning. This information is transmitted as RPNs (Registered Parameter Numbers). Activate this option if you want HALion to respond to RPNs.

MIDI controllers have a maximum resolution of 128 steps. Therefore, if you use a MIDI controller as a modulation source in the modulation matrix or to remote-control a quick control, the parameter change may occur in audible steps, causing an effect often referred to as zipper noise. To avoid this, HALion provides MIDI controller smoothing, so that parameter changes occur more gradually.

• If MIDI controller changes cause audible artifacts, turn the control towards the Slow setting. This way, MIDI controller changes do not occur immediately, but are spaced over a period of time (in milliseconds).

• If you want more immediate MIDI controller changes, turn the control towards the Fast setting. Note, however, that this may introduce audible artifacts.

Some keyboards do not transmit note-off velocity messages. If this option is activated, the played note-on velocity value is also used as note-off velocity for the notes.

Hold Reset sends a global hold reset message to all FlexPhraser modules or arpeggiators that are used.

The Reset Controller pop-up menu allows you to assign a dedicated MIDI controller to the Hold Reset button for remote-controlling it.
