Editing Zones
Voice Control Section
95
The buttons can be activated, deactivated, or locked.
Low Key/High Key
These parameters determine the lowest key and the highest key on which the
zone is triggered.
Low Velocity/High Velocity
These parameters determine the lowest velocity and the highest velocity on
which the zone is triggered.
Root Key
The root key determines the pitch of the zone. Samples can contain root key
information embedded in the file, which means that when loaded, they are
automatically mapped to the corresponding keys.

Managing Sections
If you activate a section button, the corresponding section is shown. As soon as you click
another button, the section is automatically hidden and the new section is shown.
If you lock a section by clicking the button directly to the right of the section button, the
section button cannot be deactivated and the corresponding section is always visible in the
editor. Clicking another button shows the new section, scrolling the view, if necessary.
Click the button to the left of the section buttons to toggle between showing and locking all
sections, and showing only the first section.
•
If only one button is active, but not locked, you can click another button to switch
exclusively between the sections.
•
Having one section locked while showing others dynamically can speed up your work
considerably.
For example, you can lock the Filter section, and then switch between the different
modifying sections, such as Envelope, LFO, Step Modulator, and Modulation Matrix.
•
You can also use these buttons to set up views for different contexts, showing exactly
those sections you need for a given workflow, and save them in a screen set.
