Editing the Factory Content
The macro page is divided into the following sections: Voice/Pitch, Filter and Amplifier.
In the top right section of the macro page, information on the content is shown.
Voice/Pitch Section
![](../../../_shared_picts/picts/halion_sonic_se/editing_programs/factory_macro_page_voice_pitch_section.png)
This section gives you access to the tuning parameters.
- Octave
-
Adjusts the pitch in octave steps.
- Coarse
-
Adjusts the pitch in semitone steps.
- Fine
-
Allows you to fine-tune the pitch in cent steps.
- Pitchbend Up/Pitchbend Down
-
Determines the range for the modulation that is applied when you move the pitchbend wheel.
- Polyphony
-
If Mono mode is deactivated, you can use this parameter to specify how many notes can be played simultaneously.
- Mono
-
Activates monophonic playback.
Filter Section
![](../../../_shared_picts/picts/halion_sonic_se/editing_programs/factory_macro_page_filter_section.png)
This section allows you to adjust the filter settings. These parameters work as offsets, that is, they raise or lower the actual values.
This section is only available when a filter is used.
- Cutoff
Controls the cutoff frequency of the filter.
- Resonance
Emphasizes the frequencies around the cutoff. At higher settings, the filter self-oscillates, which results in a ringing tone.
- Attack
-
Controls the attack time of the filter envelope.
- Release
-
Controls the release time of the filter envelope.
Amplifier Section
![](../../../_shared_picts/picts/halion_sonic_se/editing_programs/factory_macro_page_amplifier_section.png)
This section gives you access to the level and pan settings. Furthermore, you can adjust the attack and release times of the amplifier envelopes individually.
- Level
-
Controls the overall volume of the sound.
- Pan
Determines the position of the sound in the stereo panorama. At a setting of -100 %, the sound is panned hard left, and at +100 %, it is panned hard right.
- Attack
-
Controls the attack time of the amplifier envelope.
- Decay
-
Controls the decay time of the amplifier envelope.
