Example Macro Pages

To learn more about macro pages and how to set them up, you can load the presets of Anima, Skylab, Eagle, Raven, Studio Strings, and Hot Brass. All presets of these instruments use macro pages that were entirely built with the Macro Page Designer. By exploring these example macro pages you can see how these macro pages are set up and how they are connected to the engine parameters.

  1. Load a preset from Anima, Skylab, Eagle, Raven, Studio Strings, or Hot Brass.
  2. Open the Macro Page Designer.
  3. Select the first Layer in the Program Tree. The Macro Page Designer will display the respective macro page.
  4. In the Macro Page Designer, explore the GUI, Templates, and Ressources tree.
  5. Examine the Properties of the selected element in the tree to see how it is connected to the engine and UI parameters.

Using Templates from the Example Macro Pages

The macro pages of Anima, Skylab, Eagle, Raven, Studio Strings, and Hot Brass are installed as independent VST Sounds for HALion and for HALion Sonic, which means that you can use the templates from both these instruments for your own macro pages, too.

In the Resource/Library Browser, you have access to the templates of these macro pages.
