22.3.3 The Zone Tab
The Key Zone Editor.
Clicking on the Zone tab toggles the display of Sampler's Zone Editor, which offers a hands-
on interface for mapping any number of samples across key and velocity ranges.
The Zone Editor opens in its own dedicated view, directly above the Track View. When used
in conjunction with Sampler's other tabs, this layout greatly accelerates the creation and
editing of multisamples.
On the left side of the Zone Editor is the sample layer list, where multisamples are organized.
All of the individual samples belonging to a multisample are shown in this list, where they
are referred to as layers.
The rest of the view is occupied by one of two editors that correspond to the sample layers:
the Key Zone Editor, and the Velocity Zone Editor. These editors can be horizontally zoomed
by pressing (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) within them to bring up a context menu with sizing
options.
Auto Select (Auto)  As MIDI notes arrive at Sampler, they are ltered by each sample layer's
key and velocity zones. With Auto Select enabled, all sample layers that are able to play an
incoming note will become selected in the sample layer list for the duration of that note.
Zone Fade Mode (Lin/Pow)  These buttons toggle the fade mode of all zones between
linear and constant-power (exponential) slopes.
Zone Editor View (Key/Vel)  These buttons toggle the display of the Key Zone Editor and
the Velocity Zone Editor.
