Glossary Palette The area on the left side of Halogen's Hardware Workspace and Processing Workspace that contains elements available for use in your audio design. The Hardware Palette contains hardware devices available for use while the Processing Workspace palettes contain blocks and controls available for use. Participants The set of controls participating in a control link. A single control can participate in multiple links but can only be active in one link at a time (determined by link priority). Preset A snapshot of one or more system blocks (with their parameters set to specific values) that you or an end user can apply to the audio system at any given time - typically for a specific event or purpose. Preset Control Type Determines how you and your end users can control the preset. The control type you choose also determines some of the preset's characteristics, which in turn affects control of the preset. There are three preset control types-Toggle, Selector, and Command. Regardless of its control type, each preset accomplishes the same thing-it overwrites the system's current working values with its stored values. Processing Workspace The area of the Halogen user interface in which you configure your audio processing, signal flow, and control links. R RaneLink II A service needed by Halogen to establish a connection with HAL. Recall An old term used in the Drag Net product that means to "turn on" a preset. The equivalent term in Halogen is "assert." Remote Audio Device Also called a RAD. Primary purpose is to amplify, digitize, and transmit a digital audio signal via CAT 5 cable to a HAL host device. RADs can also receive a digital signal from the HAL and then convert it to analog before sending it to its attached audio equipment. RADs are capable of transmitting and receiving up to four channels of digital audio (two in each direction). To better fit your needs, however, Rane offers various RAD models. Most RAD models are designed to fit in a standard U.S. two, three, or four gang switchbox. 191

Palette
The area on the left side of Halogen's Hardware Workspace and Processing Workspace that
contains elements available for use in your audio design. The Hardware Palette contains hard-
ware devices available for use while the Processing Workspace palettes contain blocks and
controls available for use.
Participants
The set of controls participating in a control link. A single control can participate in multiple
links but can only be active in one link at a time (determined by link priority).
Preset
A snapshot of one or more system blocks (with their parameters set to specific values) that
you or an end user can apply to the audio system at any given time - typically for a specific
event or purpose.
Preset Control Type
Determines how you and your end users can control the preset. The control type you choose
also determines some of the preset's characteristics, which in turn affects control of the preset.
There are three preset control types—Toggle, Selector, and Command. Regardless of its con-
trol type, each preset accomplishes the same thing—it overwrites the system's current work-
ing values with its stored values.
Processing Workspace
The area of the Halogen user interface in which you configure your audio processing, signal
flow, and control links.
R
RaneLink II
A service needed by Halogen to establish a connection with HAL.
Recall
An old term used in the Drag Net product that means to "turn on" a preset. The equivalent
term in Halogen is "assert."
Remote Audio Device
Also called a RAD. Primary purpose is to amplify, digitize, and transmit a digital audio sig-
nal via CAT 5 cable to a HAL host device. RADs can also receive a digital signal from the
HAL and then convert it to analog before sending it to its attached audio equipment. RADs
are capable of transmitting and receiving up to four channels of digital audio (two in each
direction). To better fit your needs, however, Rane offers various RAD models. Most RAD
models are designed to fit in a standard U.S. two, three, or four gang switchbox.
