Clarinet Playback

[Tartueff]

I’m having a problem playing the clarinet in Halion Sonic.

When I create a new player (B-flat clarinet), Halion Sonic automatically assigns the “Clarinett 2” sound to the player. But this sound is useless to me because it’s literally drowned out by the reverb (even though I’ve completely disabled the reverb in the mixer).

If I select the “(GM 072) Clarinett” sound in Halion Sonic, an additional bass note is always played, which I find completely baffling.

I’m at a loss…

If I select the “(GM 072) Clarinett” sound in Halion Sonic, an additional bass note is always played, which I find completely baffling.

That is nearly always a key switch. Many sample instruments use low notes, outside the range of the instrument, to switch between different techniques. However, the GM instruments play a note for every key on the piano, so key switches will play.

You need to change the Expression map to Mod Wheel, instead of the Iconica map, which contains key switches.

Alternatively, you can reduce the “Release” in the Iconica instrument’s controls.

Thanks a lot!
