Edit-protecting aprogram is not recommended when exporting itas a HALion Sonic SE layer, because thisprevents the user from accessing theFlexPhrasers of a layer or the effects of the layerbus.Protect macro pages: Activate this option to editprotect the macro pages that are used in thelibrary. Users who load a preset from a protectedmacro page cannot see or edit its structure in theMacro Page Designer. Furthermore, protectedmacro pages cannot be deleted or replaced.Libraries with protected macro pages require atleast HALion 6.1.10 or HALion Sonic (SE)3.1.10.The envelope view now has an additionalproperty “Free End”, which can be activated ifthe last node should be freely movable instead ofbeing fixed to 0.An issue with the connection of parameters inthe context menu “Connect to Macro Page” isresolved.An issue with older Intel HD graphics chips isresolved.

Drawing in values will absolutelyedit all spectrums.Fixed Window Size can now be used with allwindow types.Text Control, Slider and Range Slider nowinclude the new option “Read Only”. Thisallows them to be used as a parameter valuedisplay.HALion can now load HALion Sonic/SE presetsin a protected mode. This enables you to modifiyHS presets and to save them in HALion whilekeeping the HS preset format. Please note thatsome editing possibilites might be blocked toprotect the preset structure.HALion can now export presets to an arbitraryfolder on the system, outside the MediaBay. Thesave dialog allows to specify MediaBay tags sothat the preset can later be added to theMediaBay including all relevant information.There is a new “getUndoContext” function tocheck if the current script execution is part of anundo or redo operation.The “startUndoBlock” function now returns anID for identifying the undo block. This ID canbe used as second argument in later calls to“startUndoBlock” for combining the undoblocks that refer to this ID.The arguments type and format were added to“defineParameter”.You can now update running notes via scriptparameter changes. The new “runSync” functionexecutes a function in the processor thread. Bycalling “runSync” in the controller thread, youcan invoke a function that is executed in theprocessor thread.It is now possible to check the content forduplicates.HALion now keeps temporarily created pitchdata used by the AudioWarp function in atemporary folder.
