2. This will remove any sample that was mapped to this split, indicated by “Not mapped” where the sample name would ordinarily be.

Mono and Stereo Samples

When you map a sample, the region will automatically change to mono or stereo if necessary to match the properties of the new sample. A region cannot contain a mixture of mono and stereo samples, so any existing mappings will be removed when the switch is made.

1.In this example we have four velocities mapped to four stereo samples.

2.If we drag a mono sample to the top velocity, the whole region is changed to mono and this sample is mapped to the top velocity split as intended.

However, the bottom three samples have been removed. Since this is now a mono region, the splits can only be mapped to mono samples.

This chapter has covered the basics of creating an instrument, but we’ve limited our use of dimensions to a simple velocity split. In the next chapter we’ll take a small step forward by creating a two-dimensional instrument.
