The included VST Instruments
These parameter assignments are used for many of the
HALionOne presets, but not for all. As stated above, other
parameters may be shown; these will be clearly labelled
on the panel. For most of the presets there are also asso-
ciated effects – the effect parameters are usually as-
signed to the quick controls on the right and typically
control the dry/wet mix of the effect.
Effect Bypass
• This button, located at the bottom right in the box dis-
playing the preset name, allows you to bypass any effects.
The blue LED beside the button is lit if any effects are used in the preset.
Efficiency slider
The Efficiency slider provides a way of balancing audio
quality vs. conservation of computer power. The lower the
setting, the more voices are available. As a trade-off,
sound quality is reduced.
Voices allocated
• The Voices field dynamically displays the number of
voices currently used.
MIDI and Disk activity LEDs
The MIDI activity LED indicates received MIDI input. The
Disk LED will light up green when samples are streamed
from disk, and red when samples cannot be loaded from
disk in time. In such a case you should consider lowering
the Efficiency slider. When the disk LED doesn’t light up,
samples are read from memory.
Locate Contents
If you have moved the HALionOne content files to a differ-
ent location (i.e. any other location than the folder in which
it was stored at installation time), you need to use the Lo-
cate Contents function to inform HALion One about
where to find its files. This is done as follows:
• Right-click anywhere on the control panel and select
“Locate contents”.
A file dialog opens where you can navigate to the folder location.
HALionOne and MIDI files
When the Preferences option “Import to Instrument Tracks”
is activated (on the MIDI–MIDI File page), importing a MIDI
file into Cubase will automatically set up instrument tracks,
with HALionOne as the associated instrument. This allows
you to quickly audition any imported MIDI files, to change
parameter settings or to add effects, etc.
DCA Decay Controls the time it takes the DCA signal to decay to the
sustain level.
DCA Sustain Controls the DCA signal level after the Decay phase, as
long as you press the key on your MIDI keyboard.
DCA Release Controls the DCA signal after a key is released.
DCA Amount Controls the amount of the DCA (amplifier) envelope.
