Create multiple zones in one operation
1 Choose Zone > Load Multiple Samples in the Instrument Editor (or use the Load Multiple
Samples key command).
2 Browse to the source les location, then use the Add or Add All buttons to select the samples
you want to use.
3 Click Done.
4 Choose one of the three automatic mapping modes in the dialog that appears:
•
“Auto map” by reading the root key from audio le: Uses the root keys stored in the audio le
headers, and places the samples, as zones, across the keyboard range. The number of keys that
constitute a zone is intelligently determined by the placement of neighboring zones.
•
“Drums” zone without range, root key from audio le: Uses the root keys stored in the audio le
headers. Each zone is mapped to a single key on the keyboard—as determined by the root
key information.
•
Contiguous zones: Ignores all root key information and maps the samples across the keyboard
in chromatic order. The Zone Width eld allows you to specify the width—the key range—of
the newly generated zones. The Start Note eld denes the start note of newly generated
zones.
You can also load multiple samples by dragging them into the Instrument Editor. Dragging
multiple samples into a group folder assigns the samples to the respective group. Dragging
multiple samples below the Ungrouped Zones area assigns the audio les to a new
default group.
Note: If you drag multiple les onto one of the keyboard keys, the dialog does not include the
Start Note eld, because the start key, end key, and root key are all set to the note that the le
was dropped on.
