Loading Third-Party Sampler Programs

The supported third-party sampler programs appear as nodes in the location tree. You can load entire programs, or selected layers or samples.

Multis and banks in third-party sampler formats can be dropped on the multi-program slot, the Slot Rack, or the Program Table.

  • If you drop a multi or bank on the multi-program slot, the current multi is replaced.

  • If you drop a multi or bank on the Slot Rack, new slots are created and the corresponding programs are added to the Program Table.

    If the multi or bank contains more programs than slots are available, the remaining programs are added to the Program Table only. The current multi is not replaced.

  • If you drop a multi or bank on the Program Table, the additional programs are added to the Program Table. The current multi is not replaced.

Note

If the ISO image or bank has partitions or folders, you can drag only that partition or folder to the Slot Rack or the Program Table. Any contained programs are then loaded. This is different to dragging a folder from the file system to HALion. In that case, the Import Samples dialog opens and only the contained samples are imported and mapped.
