1.Create two new regions at E2 and F2. These will be the Left and Right snare samples.

Notice how these new regions are solid while the Kick Drum regions have diagonal hash marks on them. This differentiation indicates that these regions have differently structured dimensions. In this case the difference is that the Kick regions are mono while the Snare regions are stereo. If you select the Kick drum regions, those will turn solid and these Snare regions will get the hash marks.

2.The Velocity Map for these new regions shows a Stereo split and four Velocity splits.

3. Select the Left Snare region (E2).
