The Key Range Window allows you to edit the keyboard range assignment and place the
voices and samples wherever you want.
A voice containing only one sample takes the name of the sample. If a voice contains
more than one sample, it is called a "Multisample" and the samples it contains are listed
below it. The screen above shows two single sample voices. Voice 1 plays on the lower
half of the keyboard and voice 2 plays on the upper half.
The Original Key determines the pitch of the sample. The original key need not be
located between the high and low key ranges. Samples normally have the original key as
part of the sample name. Imported samples with embedded original key information
can be auto-mapped the correct location. See
The key position is edited by placing the cursor over the desired parameter and then
playing the MIDI keyboard or adjusting the value using the keyboard. You can also
simply drag the blue bar to the desired position with the mouse.
Voices and samples can be crossfaded according to key position by adjusting the low
and high fade parameters. The fade is adjusted in "number of keys" and is graphically
represented by a gradual decrease in the color intensity of the bars.
To Manipulate the Bars:
• To Set the Length of the Bar: Left-click and drag from either endpoint.
• To Create a Fade: Left-click and drag inward while holding the Ctrl key.
The voice will gradually fade-out in volume below F2 as you play down the keyboard.
To Switch Voices According to Position
Assigning voices (samples or multisamples) adjacent to each other is the simplest and
most common application of the Key Window. The voices in the screen below are each
assigned a one octave range.
