Setting Individual Zone Settings
Menu: Sampler/Zone/General
Parameter: EDIT Zone
Value Range: (varies depending on number of zones created)
Select the zone you’d like to edit using this parameter.
Menu: Sampler/Zone/General
Parameter: Sample
Value Range: (varies)
This parameter lets you select a sample for the current zone. The top
row you select the bank whereas the bottom row lets you select an
individual sample.
Menu: Sampler/Zone/General
Parameter: Mute Group
Value Range: None, Self, A – P
This allows you to mute one or more zones when another zone is played.
For example, let’s say you’re sampling a hi-hat in a drum kit. When you
play an open hi-hat and then follow it with a closed hi-hat, the closed hi-
hat stops the open hat from ringing. By assigning these zones to the
same mute group (groups range from A through P) you can have one
sample mute a second sample as soon as the first one is triggered.
Menu: Sampler/Zone/General
Parameter: Reverse
Value Range: On, Off
Check this box to make the sample in the selected zone play backwards.
Menu: Sampler/Zone/General
Parameter: Volume
Value Range: 0 – 100%
Sets the volume of the selected zone. Note that the volume for each
zone can be set independently.
