3.Click on the Down button to move the Sustain split below the Staccato split.

Click OK to close the dialog.

4.Now the Staccato samples are on the left (Mod Wheel down) and the Sustain samples are on the right (Mod Wheel up).

5.You can do the same thing with the Velocity splits, by starting the Dimension Controller dialog from the Velocity window. It’s a little unusual, but here we’ve switched the Loud samples to the lower part of the velocity range:

Changing the Dimension Controller

Dimension Controllers can also be changed easily without having to re-map the samples, and this can be done across the whole instrument. If you don’t like the controller that has been assigned in a library you have, you can change it to something else. If you are designing your own instrument, the ability to make these changes allows you to change your mind and experiment.

Using the same tutorial instrument, we’ll now try switching between the Sustain and Staccato samples using controllers other than the Mod Wheel.
