Select zones or groups in the Key Mapping Editor
In MainStage Sampler, you can select one or more zones or groups in the Key Mapping
Editor.
When multiple groups are selected, you will see the zones of all selected groups in the
Key Mapping Editor. Each selected group has a number that you can click to move focus to
that specific group. The focus feature makes it easier for you to graphically edit complex
mappings that contain multiple overlapping groups.
• The zones of the focused group are displayed in the foreground and can be graphically
edited.
• The zones of the other selected groups are still visible but dimmed.
• Only zones in the focused group can be selected and edited or previewed.
• Click a group name to select it and to move focus to the group. Shift-click or drag (from
an empty area outside any group) to select multiple groups. The Key Mapping Editor
above the keyboard shows only zones that belong to the selected group, or groups. You
can also remotely select groups with your MIDI keyboard.
Note: To enable group selection with your MIDI keyboard, turn on the Select from Last
Played Keys > Groups or Groups and Zones menu option in the Mapping pane Edit
menu.
• Click a group number to move focus to that specific group when multiple groups are
selected.
• Click a zone to select it. Shift-click or drag (from an empty area outside any zone) to
select multiple zones. You can adjust zone parameters shown below the keyboard.
