Chromatic Mapping
This mapping option is recommended for the import of audio loops or FX samples.
All selected audio files get mapped successively, starting at the assigned key note. The velocity
range for each audio file is always 0 to 127. If you additionally want to create one Section for each
key, simply click the appropriate checkbox.
One Key Mapping
This mapping option is recommended for the import of sounds „key by key“ and enables you to
import multiple audio files that are separated by their velocity splits per note - mostly drums or
percussive instruments. Thus this mapping option „looks“ at a „velocity“ assignment at the end of
the filename, like „02“, „15“, etc.
As already mentioned, normally the last velocity (e.g. 12) 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
additionally want to create one Section for each key, simply click the appropriate checkbox.
TIP : Beside the Auto-Mapping-Importer there is also the „Independence Edition“ of the sampler
disc and file format converter „Translator“. With this software from Chicken Systems you
can convert other hardware and software sampler formats to the Independence format.
