Slot Context Menu

The context menu provides a number of functions for managing programs.

Load Program

Opens the program loader. Double-click a program to load it into this slot.

Init Program

Opens a submenu from which you can select one of the Init programs for the available sound sources. Init programs are templates that contain the necessary settings and components for the selected synth engine or instrument sound source. They allow you to get started without first having to configure the program and the HALion window.

Save Program

Saves the program.

Note

If you try to overwrite write-protected factory content, a dialog prompts you to save the edited program under a new name.

Save Program As

Allows you to make attribute settings for your program and save it to your user content folder or the specified folder in your system.

Save All Programs

Allows you to save all programs as VST presets.

Export Program

Allows you to change the attributes for your program and save it in a new location.

Export All Programs

Allows you to set up attributes for all programs at the same time and save them in a new location.

Note

  • Existing attribute values are kept, that is, if a program already contains an attribute value for an attribute that you set up for all programs, this value is not overwritten.

  • The preset format of the programs is not modified, that is, if a program contains HALion presets and HALion Sonic presets, for example, these are saved with their respective formats maintained.

Remove Program

Removes the program from the slot.

Revert to Last Saved Program

Discards any changes that you made to the program since the last time it was saved.

Note

You can also cut, copy, and paste programs from one plug-in instance to another.
