tar note, click on F#2.
q Note that it is possible to select a root key outside the key zone, if required.
Removing sample(s) from a Key Map
D To remove a sample, select the zone it belongs to, and then select “Delete Sample” from the Edit or context

Removing all unassigned samples
D To remove all samples that are not assigned to any key zone, select Delete Unused Samples from the Edit
menu.

key zones causes a noticeable level difference, this parameter can be used to balance the levels.
