Setting the Root Key
Once you have defined a key zone, and added a sample, you should set the root key for the sample.
D Select the key zone the sample belongs to, and click on the key you wish to set the root key to.
Which key to select is normally determined by the pitch of the sample. For example if the sample plays a F#2 gui-
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
menus.
The sample is removed from the zone and from sample memory.
D To remove a sample from a key zone/map, without removing it from memory, you can either select “No Sam-
ple” with the Sample knob for that zone, or simply replace it with another sample in the same way.
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.
Rearranging samples in a Key Map
There is no specific function for rearranging or trading places between samples and key zones. Simply select a key

Setting Sample Level
For each key zone you can set a volume level, using the Level button below the display. If the transition between two
key zones causes a noticeable level difference, this parameter can be used to balance the levels.
Tuning samples
Sometimes you might find that the samples you wish to use in a key map are slightly out of tune with each other . This
parameter allows you to tune each sample in a map by +/– half a semitone.
D Select the key zone(s) that contains the out of tune sample(s), and use the Tune knob below the keyboard dis-
play.
