Audio File
This column displays a zone’s audio file. Mousing over an audio file reveals a help tag
with additional information about the audio file, such as format, bit depth, sample rate,
and so on. If you press Command before the help tag displays, the help tag will also
include the full file path of the audio file. Clicking the arrow button opens a shortcut
menu that offers the following commands:
 Load Audio Sample: Opens a file selection box in which you can select an audio file.
See “Zones on page 314 for more information.
 Open in Sample Editor: This opens the selected sample in the Logic Express Sample
Editor (or the sample editor chosen in the Open External Sample Editor preference)
for further editing.
 Reveal in Finder: Shows the (loaded) audio file in the Finder.
Tip: Double-clicking the Audio File column—when an audio file is loaded—opens the
audio file in the Sample Editor. When no audio file is loaded, the audio file selector
opens.
Group
Shows the group assignment of a zone. See “Groups” for more information.
Pitch Parameters
Key allows you to determine the root note of the sample—in other words, the note at
which the sample will sound at its original pitch. The Coarse and Fine fields allow
coarse and fine-tuning of the sample in semitone and cent increments.
Key Range
The two key range parameters allow you to define a key range for the zone.
 Lo(w): Sets the lowest note at which the zone will sound
 Hi(gh): Sets the highest note at which the zone will sound.
Playing notes outside this range will not trigger the sample assigned to this zone.
Velocity Range
Activate the Velocity Range checkbox to define a velocity range for the zone. L(ow) sets
the lowest velocity at which the zone will sound, and Hi(gh) sets the highest velocity at
which the zone will sound. Playing notes outside this range will not trigger the sample
assigned to this zone.
