Organizing by Folders
e Instrument Wizard can also map out complex dimension and velocity splits but to do this, the various
splits need to be organized into separate folders.
For example, if we have a piano that is 4 velocities with sustai n pedal up and down samples, th e folder
structure would look like this.
Piano Velocity 1 Ped al Up
Piano Velocity 2 Ped al Up
Piano Velocity 3 Ped al Up
Piano Velocity 4 Ped al Up
Piano Velocity 1 Ped al Down
Piano Velocity 2 Ped al Down
Piano Velocity 3 Ped al Down
Piano Velocity 4 Ped al Down
In the Instrument Wizard, we would be able to assign each of the folders full of properly named samples t o
the proper dimension s.
Keep in mind that each of these folders could contain up to 88 samples each. at would be 704 samples
that would have to be mapped by hand without the Instrument Wizard.
e Instrument Wizard can map these out for you in about a second. So, as a general rule, there needs to
be one folder of properly named samples for every single velocity or dimension split.
