Selecting zones via MIDI
You can also select zones via your MIDI keyboard. By clicking the button marked “Se-
lect zones via MIDI” above the key map display so that it lights up, you enable selec-
tion via MIDI.
This way, you can select a zone and give it edit focus by pressing a key that lies within
the zone’s key range (see later in this chapter for information about setting up key
ranges).
In this case, this zone can be selected by pressing any key between C2 - C3 on your MIDI keyboard.
Note also, that selection via MIDI is velocity sensitive. Zones may have specific veloc-
ity ranges. This means that they won’t be played unless the key that triggers the zone
is played with a certain velocity. The same rules apply when selecting via MIDI, only
zones that meet the velocity criteria will be selected. Read more about setting up ve-
locity ranges on page 273.
Selecting All Zones in a Group
The concept of zone groups is fully introduced on page 266. For now we will only de-
scribe how to select all samples that belong to the same group:
Moving Edit Focus
Moving Edit Focus
A zone can be given edit focus independently of selection:
D When you click on an unselected zone, it both gets selected and gets
edit focus.
D When you select several zones using [Shift] or [Command]/[Ctrl], the
one you select last always gets edit focus.
D To set edit focus to a zone when several zones are already selected, click
on it without holding down any modifier keys.
This way, you can move edit focus between the selected zones freely without de-
selecting any of them.
