The multisample key range sets the overall key range limit for the samples in the multi-
sample. In the diagram above, the top sample won’t be played, because its key range is
outside the limit of the Multisample key range.
Groups
Voices can be categorized into Groups as a way to organize and select similar voices, say
a layer of piano voices and a layer of string voices, into unified entities.
You can create a temporary group if you want to edit several voices. Grouping the voices
and then selecting the group is faster and more dependable than manually selecting
each voice when editing.
To Place a Voice into a Group
1.
Tag each voice you want to be in the group with the same group number. This can
be done in the “Voices and Zones” window or from the “Voice Editor” window.
2.
Whenever you select that group number in the Voice Editor screen, all voices with
that group number will be selected. You can define up to 99 groups, but a voice can
only be in one group at a time.
To Make a New Group from the Currently Selected Voices
1.
Select the voices you want to be in the new Group from the “Voices & Zones” page.
2.
Select New Group from the Preset menu. A new group will be created using the
lowest available group number.
