Zone Parameters
Zone Name
New Zones are numbered consecutively. Double-clicking on a Zone’s number allows
you to enter a name instead.
Audio File
A file selection dialog can be opened by clicking on the gray field next to the Audio File
label. This will allow you to select and load a sample into a Zone. When loaded, the
sample’s name is displayed in the gray field. Additional information about the sample is
displayed beneath its name (sample format, sampling frequency, bit depth, mono/
stereo status and sample length).
Group
Group allows you to assign a Zone to an existing Group. When No Group is selected, the
Zone is only affected by the parameters of the Plug-in window.
Key Note/Tune
Key Note allows you to determine the note at which the sample will sound with its
original pitch. The Key Note is displayed as both a note name and a numerical value.
The Tune and cent fields allow coarse and fine-tuning of the sample in semitone and
cent increments.
Zone Range/Disable Pitch
The two Zone Range parameters allow you to define a key range for the Zone. When
Disable Pitch is activated, the sample is always played at its original pitch, regardless of
the note number.
Velocity Range
Activation of the Select Range option, in conjunction with the use of the two Velocity
Range fields allows you to define a velocity range for the Zone.
