While it’s common to map a single sample to a single region in this way, much more powerful mapping operations can be performed by dropping multiple samples or entire folders. The possibilities are listed on the next page:

Drop a single sample onto a velocity split with the right mouse button.

This is the same as dragging and dropping with the left button, except that the Pitch Tracking articulation parameter is automatically turned off in every split that receives the new mapping. This is useful for unpitched samples such as most drums.

Drop multiple samples (or a folder) onto a velocity split with the left mouse button.

The selected splits are remapped in every region across the keyboard. For each region, the sample which most closely matches the region’s pitch is used for the mapping.

Drop multiple samples (or a folder) onto a velocity split with the right mouse button.

The selected splits are remapped in every region across the keyboard. The exact method for mapping the samples is chosen from a popup menu. The menu options are:

Map to existing split (by pitch). This is the same as simply dropping multiple samples with the left mouse button (see above).

Map to existing split (alpha order). Maps samples across the keyboard in alphabetical order, repeating the sequence from the beginning if there are more regions than samples. The samples are presumed to be unpitched, so pitch tracking is turned off in the newly mapped splits.

Map to new split (by pitch or alpha order). These options are like the previous two, except that a new split is created in every selected region to receive the new mappings. The split is created in the position where you clicked the mouse.

Stack on single region. This option is unique in that it affects only the single region which has the current focus (highlighted in orange). The number of splits in this region is changed to match the number of samples you are dropping, and then each sample is mapped to one of the splits. The order of the mapping is determined by the “Wave drop” option in the Preferences.
