Connecting Macro Page Controls to HALion Parameters

To be able to use a macro page control, you must connect it to a parameter in HALion.

You can establish the connection between control and parameter by using the context menu or via drag and drop. You can connect parameters from the Parameter List or from another HALion editor.

Connecting Parameters Via the Parameter List

  1. In the Parameter List, navigate to the parameter that you want to connect, right-click it and select Connect to Macro Page.

  2. In the GUI Tree, navigate to the control that you want to connect to the parameter, right-click the Value field in the Properties section, and select Connect to Parameter <HALion parameter name>.

If you now click the value field, it shows the parameter ID of the connected HALion parameter.

Connecting Parameters Via an Editor in HALion

  1. Right-click a control in the Sound Editor, Zone Editor, etc. and select Connect to Macro Page.

  2. In the GUI Tree, navigate to the control that you want to connect to the parameter, right-click theValue field in the Properties section, and select Connect to Parameter <HALion parameter name>.

If you now click the value field, it shows the parameter ID of the connected HALion parameter.

Connecting Parameters Via Drag and Drop

  1. In the GUI Tree, navigate to the macro page control to display its properties in the Properties section.

  2. In the Parameter List, navigate to the parameter that you want to connect.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Drag the parameter name and drop it on the value field of the control in the Properties section.

    • Drop the parameter name onto the control on the macro page canvas.

    The value field in the Properties section then shows the parameter ID of the connected HALion parameter.

Connecting Multiple Parameters of the Same Type in One Go

  1. Connect the first parameter.

  2. In the Properties section, right-click the value field for the control and select Connect All <parameter name> Parameters.

This connects all parameters of the same name that only differ by a number. For example, this allows you to connect all step parameters of the step modulator with the corresponding step modulator control values.

  • To disconnect all values, open the context menu and select Disconnect All <parameter name> Parameters.
