The Sample Layer List

All samples contained in the currently loaded multisample are listed here, with each sample

given its own layer. For very large multisamples, this list might be hundreds of layers long!

Fortunately, layers can be descriptively named (according to their root key, for example).

Selecting any layer will load its sample into the Sample tab for examination.

Key Zones

Key zones dene the range of MIDI notes over which each sample will play. Samples are

only triggered when incoming MIDI notes lie within their key zone. Every sample has its

own key zone, which can span anywhere from a single key up to the full 127.

A typical multisampled instrument contains many individual samples, distributed into many

key zones. Samples are captured at a particular key of an instrument's voice range (known

as their root key), but may continue to sound accurate when transposed a few semitones up

or down. This range usually corresponds to the sample's key zone; ranges beyond this zone

are represented by additional samples, as needed.

By default, the key zones of newly imported samples cover the full MIDI note range. Zones

can be moved and resized like clips in the Arrangement View, by dragging their right or left

edges to resize them, then dragging them into position.

Zones can also be faded over a number of semitones at either end by dragging their top

right or left corners. This makes it easy to smoothly crossfade between adjacent samples as

the length of the keyboard is traversed. The Lin and Pow boxes above the sample layer list

indicate whether the zones will fade in a linear or exponential manner.

Velocity Zones

Each sample also has a velocity zone, determining the range of MIDI Note On velocities

that it will respond to. The timbre of most musical instruments changes greatly with playing

intensity. Therefore, the best multisamples capture not only individual notes, but also each

of those notes at different velocities.
