Welcome
The Hypnotic Dance VST Sound Instrument Set provides additional high-quality content for VST instruments, expanding
the available sound libraries with new VST Sound presets.
This document describes the parameters and the presets made available by this VST Sound Instrument Set. The sound
set can be used by plug-ins based on the HALion engine – currently the latest versions of HALion Sonic and HALion So-
nic SE.
Key command conventions
Many of the key commands mentioned in this document use modifier keys, some of which are different depending on the
operating system. For example, the default key command for Undo is [Ctrl]-[Z] under Windows and [Command]-[Z] un
-
der Mac OS X. In this document, key commands are shown with the Windows modifier key first:
[Win modifier key]/[Mac modifier key]-[key]
For example, [Ctrl]/[Command]-[Z] means “press [Ctrl] under Windows or [Command] under Mac OS X, then press [Z]”.
Similarly, [Alt]/[Option]-[X] means “press [Alt] under Windows or [Option] under Mac OS X, then press [X]”.
This document may refer to right-clicking, for example, to open context menus. If you are using a Mac with a single-but-
ton mouse, hold down [Ctrl] and click.
