The following diagram is an example of a drum program in which one sample is assigned to each pad.
The following diagram is an example where two samples are assigned to each pad number. For some note
numbers, two samples are crossfaded by velocity.
• Key group programs
This type of program uses a region of consecutive note numbers to play a sample at varying pitches. You
will use key group programs to play sounds such as bass or piano.
The region of note numbers to which one sample is assigned is called a “key group,” and the range of notes
that play a key group is called the “key span.”
Just as for a drum program, you can use up to four zones in a key group.
The following diagram is an example of a single sample assigned to a key group that consists of only one
zone. The key span for this key group is specified as the entire keyboard.
The following diagram shows an example using two key groups, each with their own key span. The two key
groups are cross-faded by pitch.
The following diagram shows an example using two key groups, each with four zones. The two key groups
are switched by pitch.
