1. Select Edit-Preferencesfrom the main menu.

2.In the Preferences dialog, find the section called

Velocity splits for manually created regions. Select the number of velocity splits you want. You can also check the Stereo box to create stereo regions.

3.With the settings above in effect, any region you create manually will be a stereo region with four velocity splits. The velocity splits appear as horizontal bands in the Velocity Window.

Note that the velocity splits are also divided into left and right halves, indicating that this is a stereo region.

Mapping Samples to a Region

At this point we’ve created a region and assigned it a simple Velocity dimension. All that remains is to map some samples to the region.

For this example, suppose we’ve sampled a bell at four different dymanic levels, and imported the four samples as seen below. We want to map the four samples to the four velocity splits we created in the previous step. First, consider what happens if you simply drag the “ff” sample and drop it on the region in the Region Window:
