Moving Zones by Dragging the Zone Boxes
You can also move entire zones horizontally, thereby changing their key ranges.
1. Select all the zones you want to move.
You can move several zones simultaneously.
2. Point on any of the selected zones, and press the mouse button.
3. Drag left/right and release the mouse button.
Dragging multiple zones.
Moving Zones by Dragging in the Tab Bar
You can also move a zone by dragging anywhere between the zone boundary
handles on the tab bar. When you do, the surrounding zones will be affected just
as when dragging the boundary handles in the tab bar (see above).
This can be used to “slide” a zone in relation to its surrounding zones, as the pic-
ture example below shows (before and after dragging).
About the Lock Root Keys function
Normally, when you move zones (as described above), the root note of the
zone(s) you move will change accordingly. In other words, the zone(s) will be
transposed. If this is not desired, you can activate the Lock Root Keys function
prior to moving the zone(s) by clicking on the button above the key map display.
Moving zones without changing their root notes can be used for some interest-
ing effects, since it will completely change the timbre of the sample(s) as they
are played back.
About the Solo Sample function
The Solo Sample function lets you play a selected sample over the entire key-
board and disregarding any velocity range assigned to the sample. All other
loaded samples are temporarily muted.
This is useful if you for example want to check how far up and down from its root
key a sample can be played on the keyboard before starting to sound “unnatu-
ral”. The solo sample function can therefore be useful as a guide for setting up
key ranges, as described on page 164.
1. Select one and only one zone, or - if you have a selection of multi-
ple zones - make sure the one you want to hear has edit focus.
2. Activate Solo Sample by clicking on the button so that it lights up.
3. Play the MIDI keyboard
