• Places column: Shows all top-level folder locations. The Alchemy Samples and EXS
Factory Samples folders are shown at the top of the list. Click to view each folder.
• Samples column: Shows the samples within the selected folder, preset, or sampler
instrument. Only sample data is displayed. See the tasks in this section for information
on sample selection.
• Dropzone: Shows the names of samples added to this area. Samples can be from
multiple locations or instruments. See the tasks in this section for information about
use.
Control-click files in the Dropzone list to open a shortcut menu.
• Delete: Remove the file from the Dropzone.
• Move to New RR Group: Create a new round-robin group and add the selected file or

• Analysis Mode buttons: Set the type of analysis that is performed when sample data is
imported.
• Additive button: Use to import samples that you want to resynthesize using additive
synthesis. Good results depend on accurate identification of the root note. If the
filename has a pitch value appended to it, this is used to set the root note. In other
cases, analysis of the waveform pitch determines the root note. The Mapping mode
may also be important.
• Spectral button: Use to import samples that you want to resynthesize using spectral
synthesis. The root note determines the MIDI note that plays the resynthesized
sound at its original pitch. If the filename has a pitch value appended to it, this is
used to set the root note. In other cases, analysis of the waveform pitch is used to
determine the root note.
