Creating A Patch From Multiple Samples (Create Multisample) - Roland Fantom XR Owner's Manual

Creating a Patch from
Multiple Samples
(Create Multisample)
Two or more samples assigned to different keys are collectively
called a "multisample." One multisample can assign up to 128
samples divided ("split") across the notes of the keyboard. A
memory card can store 128 multisamples.
In order to hear a multisample, you'll need to assign it to a Part
as a Patch. Choose the desired samples to create the
multisample, and then assign it as a patch to a part for use.

If, for example, only one note (e.g., the sound of the C4 key) is
sampled from a wide-ranging instrument such as a piano, and
assigned to the entire range of keys, it will sound unnatural
when played significantly below or above its original pitch. If
the instrument is sampled at several different pitches and
assigned to different ranges of the keyboard, this unnatural
effect can be minimized.

When you create a multisample, the split points are
automatically determined according to the original key of each
sample. Before you begin this process, you should set the
original key of each sample to the range where you want it to be
assigned.
A sample will not sound at a pitch higher than one octave above
the original key.
