Select this menu option to turn the “jump” feature on or off. When the feature is on, the menu option will display a check mark.

When Jump to selected region is checked and you select a new region or split, the sample window automatically scrolls so that the sample mapped to the current region/split is in view.

When you change the region selection (in the keyboard window) or the split selection (in any of the dimension windows), the sample view is always updated. The icon beside any sample mapped to the current selection lights up in yellow. If you select multiple regions or splits, then multiple samples may show the yellow highlight.

Even when you have selected multiple regions or splits, a single region and a single split within each dimension will still have the focus, noted by an orange highlight. The single sample at the intersection of all the currently focused splits is drawn with a red border around its icon. This is the sample that will automatically remain in view when Jump to selected region is checked.

When the MIDI Select feature is enabled, the region and split selection tracks note-on messages received from your MIDI keyboard. If Jump to selected region is also enabled, then you can find any sample quickly just by playing the MIDI keyboard and manipulating MIDI controllers.
