3. If you drop samples into the Region Window using the right mouse button, you’ll get a slightly
dierent result. In this cas e the samples are mapped i n alphabetical order and pitch tracking is
turned o in each region, s o that the samples play bac k at their native pitch. Each region is allocated
only a single key.
e right-button techniqu e probably won’t create a ver y useful instrument from th e bassoon samples
shown in the illustration, but it ca n be a convenient way to q uickly audition a large numbe r of samples,
particularly unpitched ones such as percussion or sound e ects.
Creating and mapping splits automatically
In the example above we created a series of regions by droppi ng a group of samples in th e Region Window.
is is a convenient way t o create regions, but it creat es only the simplest kind of region, mapped to a single
sample with no dim ensions or sp lits.
Once the regions ar e created, howe ver, we can cr eate and map ad ditional splits easily by droppi ng groups of
samples into the dimension windows themselves. Note that th e success of this technique depe nds entirely
on how well organized your samples are.
We’ll start this example like the previous o ne, by dragging a folder full of samples into the Region Wi ndow
of an empty instrument. is time we’re building a piano with six velocity layers. e samples for a ll 88
keys of the soest velocity layer are in folder “Velocity1:"
