tap the Samples button multiple times to cycle through its
four available sections.
Tap the location icon at the top of the touchscreen (between
the Program and Pad fields) to open the Edit Zones window,
which is a feature for drum programs and clip programs. This
window displays an overview of any selected pads. Use the
Mode selector to set how the selected pads will be edited:

Multiple: All selected pads can be edited simultaneously.
All: All pads can be edited simultaneously.
To close the window, tap Close, the X, or anywhere outside
the window.
