Preparing a Basic Macro Page

Prerequisite

You have created a program with a single synth zone.

Procedure

  1. Click Open New Window and select Macro Page Designer Extended.

    This window combines the Macro Page Designer with the Program Tree, the Parameter List, the Sound Editor, and the Macro Page. Those editors can be used in combination to set up and test a macro page.

  2. Select the program in the Program Tree.
  3. On the toolbar of the Macro Page Designer, click Create New Macro Page and select Create HALion Sonic Macro Page to create a page that corresponds to the standard size used in HALion Sonic and HALion Sonic SE.

Result

This creates an empty macro page with a size of 595 x 390 pixels. Size Lock is automatically activated to prevent you from accidentally changing the size of the macro page. The Macro Page Designer shows all the editors that are necessary to build a macro page.

Note

You can also create larger macro pages. HALion Sonic and HALion Sonic SE automatically adapt their size to the size of the macro page.
