X-Y-Z Mapping
This mapping option will import and map entire instruments including multiple velocities per
note and recognizes any available Sections/Alternates. All information regarding the mapping are
included in the filename. A valid name could be: „Concert Guitar XC2 Y04 Z02“.
The „X“ assigns the key on your keyboard or other MIDI controller, the „Y“ assigns the velocity
zoning and the „Z“ assigns the Section/Alternate for the audio file.
The information included in the audio file of our example:
XC2 = the audio file gets mapped on „C2“
Y04 = the audio file gets mapped as fourth velocity split on C2
Z02 = the audio file is part of the second Section/Alternate
Normally the last velocity (e.g. Y12) is the loudest audio file. Nevertheless you can click the
checkbox „first velocity is the loudest“ in case this should apply to your import. If you also want
to create one Section/Alternate even for each individual velocity, simply click the appropriate
checkbox.
Multi Key Mapping
This mapping option is the most typical for the import of other sampling libraries.
In most cases the file names of sampling libraries already contain the key/note. Thus this mapping
option looks at a „note“ assignment at the end of the filename, like „C2“, „D#4“, etc.
The Multi Key Mapping can import multiple audio files of the same note (e.g. long notes and slides
of each note) and will always assign the full dynamic range (velocity 0 to 127) to each of them.
Thus they get mapped on the same key and overlap. In this case you can select „create Sections
automatically“. After the import you can finetune the mapping by editing the individual Sections
- assign different velocity ranges for each section, for example.
