m Drag a zone (or multiple selection of zones) out of one group into another group to
change the group assignment to a new group.
m Drag a zone (or multiple selection of zones) out of one group to Ungrouped Zones to

zones.
The Group parameters will now affect the sample in the zone.
To delete all groups that do not have a zone assignment:
m Choose Group > Delete Unused Groups in the Instrument Editor.
Editing Zones and Groups
Zones and groups have a number of parameters which you can edit to customize your
sampler instrument. You edit the pitch, velocity range, panorama, looping parameters,
and other functions of zones. You can also edit group parameters for velocity, output,
and offset envelopes and filters, among other parameters. While some of the editing
techniques, such as editing graphically, selection menu options, clicking on values to
change them, and so on are similar, zones and groups have different parameters, and
will be discussed separately.
General Editing Techniques
The Edit menu handles all basic sampler instrument editing operations, such as
copying zones, undoing edit operations, and so on.
 Undo: Allows the most recent change to the sampler instrument to be undone.
 Redo: Undoes the last Undo command.
 Cut, Copy, Paste: The standard commands for cutting, copying, and pasting values. In
addition to values you may also cut, copy, and paste selected zones and groups.
When you copy groups in the Zones view, the selected groups and their associated
zones are copied. The group assignments of the zones are retained. When you copy
groups in Groups view, only the groups themselves are copied, not the associated
zones.
 Delete: Deletes the currently selected zone or group.
