To move a Zone:
1 Move the mouse cursor (it will change to a two-headed arrow) over an existing zone
bar (this is one of the bars displayed directly under the keys).
2 Click-hold and drag the zone to the desired position below the onscreen keyboard.
To change the start/end note of a Zone:
1 Move the mouse cursor to the beginning or end of a zone bar. The cursor will change
to a left (start) or right (end) bracket, surrounded by arrowheads.
2 Click-hold and drag the start or endpoint of the zone to the desired length.
Note: You can also change the root key of the zone, by pressing Option and Command
simultaneously, while dragging the zone.
Adjusting the Zone Parameters
Set up a key range for the sample with the two Zone Range parameters; Key Note allows
you to determine the note used to trigger the sample at its original pitch. Reverse plays
the sample from its end to the beginning. This option works non-destructively, and
doesn’t change the audio data. Adjust volume and pan position for the sample with
the corresponding parameters. Negative Scale values make notes lower than the note
position defined by the Key Note parameter sound louder than higher ones; positive
values have the opposite effect. Use this parameter for balancing the volume of a
sample across the selected key range.
Negative Scale values increase the volume of lower notes (left of the Key Note), positive
values increase the volume of higher notes (right of the Key Note). If necessary, adjust
the playback start and end points for the sample with the Start Frame and End Frame
parameters.
Activate Loop if desired; the loop parameters are hidden when the loop parameter is
deactivated. You can set a start and end point for the loop and fine-tune the loop with
the Tune parameter, if necessary.
