Loading Programs and Layers

You can load programs and layers via the Program Tree, the MediaBay or the Browser, via drag and drop onto the Slot Rack, and via various context menus in different areas of the plug-in.

There are several ways to load programs:

  • Via drag and drop from the MediaBay, the Program Table, the Program Tree, or the File Explorer/macOS Finder onto a slot in the Slot Rack.

    To load the program into an empty slot, drag it onto an empty slot or onto the empty space below the slots in the Slot Rack.

    To replace the current program, drag the program onto a used slot in the Slot Rack.

  • Via drag and drop from the MediaBay of your Steinberg DAW onto a slot in the Slot Rack.

  • By clicking the Load Program button to the right of the slot and selecting a program in the Load dialog.

  • By selecting Load Program from the slot context menu.

Note

Programs containing lots of sample data may take some time to load.

Inserting Programs in between Slots

To add a program or layer into a new slot between two existing slots, drag it between these slots. A red line indicates the insert position.

Note

The slot number is taken from the first available slot and does not necessarily reflect the order in which the slots are listed.

Loading Layers into Slots

If you load a layer into a slot, HALion creates a new program.
