• Group Velocity Range fields: Use to define a velocity range for the selected group.
Velocity Range is useful for sounds where you want to dynamically mix—or switch
between—samples by playing your MIDI keyboard harder or softer. This feature is ideal
for layered sounds, such as a piano/string layer, or when switching between different
percussion samples.
• Use the left field to set the lowest velocity that triggers the group.
• Use the right field to set the highest velocity that triggers the group. When you play
notes outside this range, the zones assigned to this group are not triggered.
Key Mapping Editor zone parameters
Zone parameters are shown below the keyboard. Drag vertically in parameter value fields
to change them. For example, vertically drag the zone Tune field value to change it.
Alternatively, you can double-click in a field and enter a value, then press the Return key.
• Zone Name pop-up menu: Displays the current zone name. Select a different zone to
display and edit its parameters.
Tip: You can also display and select a different zone in the Mapping pane Key
Mapping Editor or Zone view by playing a note. To enable this behavior, turn on the
Select from Last Played Keys > Groups and Zones menu option in the Mapping pane
Edit menu. You can automatically preview a zone when you play a note by turning on the
Preview Selected Zone option in the Zone menu.
• Zone Pitch fields: Use to set the tuning of the selected zone.
• Root Key: Use to set the root note of the zone—in other words, the note at which the
sample is heard at its original pitch.
• Tune: Drag vertically to tune the zone in semitone/cent increments.
• Pitch button: Turn on to change the sample pitch when triggered by different keys.
When disabled, the sample is always played at its original pitch, regardless of the
note played.
Note: When the Pitch button is turned off, the value set with the Tune parameter is
added to, or subtracted from, the original pitch.
• Zone Mixer fields: Use these parameters to define output level and pan position of the
selected zone.
• Volume: Use to set the output level of the zone.
• Pan: Use to set the pan position of the zone. This parameter works only when
Sampler is used in stereo.
• Zone Key Range fields: Use these parameters to define a key range for the zone. When
you play notes outside this key range, the sample assigned to this zone is not triggered.
• Use the left field to set the lowest note for the zone.
• Use the right field to set the highest note for the zone.
• Zone Velocity Range fields: Use to define a velocity range for the zone. When you play
notes outside this velocity range, the sample assigned to this zone is not triggered.
• Use the left field to set the lowest velocity that triggers the zone.
• Use the right field to set the highest velocity that triggers the zone.
