Description

The Mixer Channel template allows you to control all important bus parameters with a single template. The template contains a combination of controls that are already pre-assigned inside the template using "@parameter". You can exchange controls, remove them, or modify the used resources to customize the appearance of the channel, provided that you keep the correct parameter connections as defined in the template.

Note

The template is part of the Basic Controls library and requires HALion 6.1 or HALion Sonic(SE) 3.1 or higher.

Controls and Sub Templates

ItemDescription
Ch_Output

This template contains the necessary elements to specify the output of a bus. It contains the following elements:

  • Menu: A menu control that opens a context menu showing all available outputs. The Value must be set to @TargetBusMenu.
  • Name: A text control showing the name of the selected output. The Value must be set to @TargetBusMenu.
  • Image: A background image.

To filter the outputs that are made available by the menu, you can configure the menu control by adding one of the following tags to the value name (separated by spaces):

  • default allows setting no explicit target bus. In this case, the audio is routed to the default bus (usually the next bus higher up in the hierarchy)
  • default='name' as above, but "name" is shown as text instead of "--"
  • local shows all available busses higher up in the hierarchy
  • buslist='BusName1; BusName2; ...'    allows to specify a list of busses (only available with HALion 6.2 and higher)

Additionally, you can set the following tags:
