Group view parameters
Drag vertically in parameter value fields to change them. For example, vertically drag the
value shown for a group in the Pan column to change it. Alternatively, you can double-click
in a field and enter a value, then press the Return key.
• Group parameters: New groups are automatically assigned a consecutive number.
• Mute button: Mute or unmute a group.
• Solo button: Solo or unsolo a group. All other groups are silenced when active. You
can solo multiple groups.
• Name field: Displays the group name. Double-click to enter a new group name.
• Mixer parameters: Globally adjust group settings.
• Volume field: Adjust the overall level of the group—and, therefore, the volume of all
zones in the group. This works much like a subgroup on a mixing console.
• Pan field: Adjust the pan position of the group—stereo balance for stereo samples—
and the pan position of all assigned zones simultaneously.
• Output field: Use to define the outputs used by the group. Choices include the main
outputs, paired channels, or individual outputs. This allows individual groups to be
routed independently to aux channels in a multi-output Sampler instance.
• Key Range parameters: Use to define a key range for the group. When you play notes
outside this range, zones assigned to this group will not be heard.
• Low field: Set the lowest note for the group.
• High field: Set the highest note for the group.
• XFade Type pop-up menu: Choose the crossfade type that best suits the group
audio material. The Linear dB and Linear Gain options scale the amplitude for the
group crossfade. Equal Power applies an exponential crossfade curve that causes a
volume boost of 3dB in the middle of the crossfade range. This fades out/fades in at
an equal volume level. See Fade between sample groups in Sampler.
• XFade field: Set the crossfade range for zones grouped by the specified key range.
Only zones within the specified key range are crossfaded.
• Velocity Range parameters: Use to define a velocity range for the group. When you
play notes outside this velocity range, you will not hear zones assigned to this group.
This feature is useful when you want to dynamically mix—or switch between—grouped
zones (samples) by playing your MIDI keyboard harder or softer. This is ideal for layered
sounds, such as a piano/string layer, or when switching between different percussion
samples, as examples.
• Low field: Set the lowest velocity that triggers the group.
• High field: Set the highest velocity that triggers the group.
• XFade Type pop-up menu: Choose the crossfade type that best suits the group
audio material. The Linear dB and Linear Gain options scale the amplitude for the
group crossfade. Equal Power applies an exponential crossfade curve that causes a
volume boost of 3dB in the middle of the crossfade range. This fades out/fades in at
an equal volume level.
• XFade field: Set the crossfade range for zones grouped by the specified velocity
range. Only zones within the specified velocity range are crossfaded.
