•“Ignore unity notes” is for non-melodic samples like percussion and sound effects. Checking this box will let the Instrument Wizard map the samples alphabetically across the keyboard.

7.Go to the top Controller Source and choose “Velocity”. This will be our velocity split dimension.

8.Set the Splits number to 4. This will create four velocity splits, one for each folder of samples.

9 Fill in the Description and the Split Names.

These work the same way as the description and split names when manually creating dimension splits.

Also, naming is absolutely essential in the last step of the Instrument Wizard as things get more complex.

10.Click on the “Reserve space for stereo” checkbox. (Stereo samples use up one of the eight available dimensions in a region.)
