CHAPTER 6
Mapping
74
To offer easiest and fastest access to all your 3rd party libraries, your own instruments, audio files
and loops we integrated the sophisticated „Audio Files Browser“. This feature does not only work
as a simple browser but also includes powerful options to create the mapping of your files already
while you import them automatically. Please refer to page 84 for more details.
Now click and hold any Zone of the currently loaded Layer Patch. The selected Zone becomes
orange and in the upper window an audio waveform shows up immediately. The waveform is the
graphical visualization of the audio file that is included in the Zone. Now drag the Zone with your
mouse to a position of your choice, e.g. C6, and release. Always you play C6 now on your keyboard
(or any other MIDI controller) the Zone you‘ve just moved will play back.
With this Mapping Editor and all the available parameters you can always decide about position,
layout, possible overlaps, tone pitch (root key), volume, panorama, etc. of all your Zones. For a
better fine tuning of your Zones you can zoom in the Mapping Editor matrix totally free in the
vertical and horizontal axis. Therefore use the „+“ and „-“ icons down right of the Mapping Editor
window. To switch back to the original view just click on the spot in the corner.
For immediate access to the sounds Independence‘s Mapping Editor also contains an enhanced
keyboard at the bottom which is very useful for quick checks of any changes you made on this
page. You can click on the keys of the virtual keyboard to play back the Zone. This keyboard also
recognizes different velocities. The more at the top you click on the key the higher velocity gets
played back. The same the other way round: The lower you click the key the lower velocity gets
played back.
