Graphically edit zones and groups in Sampler
You can edit zone and group parameters numerically in the Mapping pane Zone view and
Group view. You can also graphically edit a number of zone and group parameters in the
Key Mapping Editor and the Zone pane.
.
Within each group mapping area (notes and velocities), zones can’t overlap. When you
force an overlap by dragging zones one above the other within the same group, the Key
Mapping Editor automatically cuts zones in order to make space for other zones. This
allows you to add zones or delete mapped areas without having to edit all affected zones
directly. You can protect either the selected or unselected zones when dragging zones.
Move one or more zones by dragging
In the MainStage Sampler Key Mapping Editor:
• Drag the zone to the target Key Mapping Editor position.
• Shift-click or drag (from an empty area outside any zone) to select multiple zones, and
drag them to the target Key Mapping Editor position.
Move one or more selected zones to the left or right with a key command
In the MainStage Sampler Key Mapping Editor:
• Select one or more zones, then use one of the following key commands:
• Shift Selected Zone(s)/Group(s) Left: Option-Left Arrow key
• Shift Selected Zone(s)/Group(s) Right: Option-Right Arrow key
Restrict zone dragging to one direction
In the MainStage Sampler Key Mapping Editor:
• Press and hold the Command key to restrict movement to the initial horizontal or
vertical drag direction.
