Options

Protect Scripts

Allows you to encrypt all script files that are part of the library. The encryption prevents other users from viewing and editing the script code.

Protect Macro Pages

Protects the macro pages that are used in the library. If a macro page is protected, its structure cannot be viewed or edited in the Macro Page Designer. This is useful if you want to export a program as a HALion Sonic layer preset, in which case protecting the program itself is not recommended, because this would prevent the user from accessing the FlexPhrasers of a layer or the effects of the layer bus.

Note

Protected macro pages cannot be deleted or replaced.

Strip Wavetable Samples

Allows you to remove information about used samples from the wavetable editor. When creating wavetables that are based on samples, the reference paths to the used samples are stored with the presets. This allows you to return to a wavetable and modify some of the wave markers. When making presets available to other users, you can either add all source samples to the VST container, which allows others to modify them, or you can provide the presets with the final wavetables only by activating this option.

Create Artifact File

Allows you to generate a JSON file that lists all VST Sound containers that are part of the library. The file is named after the library, with the file name extension .json, and saved in the same folder as the VST Sound containers.

The JSON file contains SHA-256 checksum files for all included VST Sound containers. These can be used to check that the downloaded files were transferred without errors, for example.

Clear Sub Preset Names

Allows you to remove all sub preset names from all sub preset selectors when building a VST 3 preset container. This is to avoid delivering program or layer presets that refer to sub presets which only existed on the system of the original sound designer at the time the program or layer preset was saved.

If you do not clear the sub preset names, the user of a library might be tempted to search for these sub presets, even though they are not included in the library.
