e next step in creating an i nstrument is to create some r egions. While th ere are many way s to create

sometimes useful. F or example, dru m kits oen do n’t lend thems elves to the mo re streamlined ways of
creating regions, b ecause each drum (snare, kick, h i hat, etc.) is eectively a di erent instru ment and may
require a dierently structured regio n.
Creating a few regions manually will also help familiarize yo u with the concept of mappi ng samples, before
we introduce the mo re advanced way s of mapping li ke the Instrument Wizard.
