Importing Samples Using Drag And Drop; Mapping Zones - Steinberg HALION4 Mode D'emploi

Importing Samples Using Drag and Drop

To import a single sample to a specific key (or key range) in the Mapping editor,
proceed as follows:
1. Drag a sample into the Mapping section or onto the keyboard.
An outline representing the sample appears.
2. Without dropping the sample, move the mouse pointer up and down.
The horizontal position of the mouse pointer determines the lowest key of the key
range, and the vertical position of the mouse pointer determines the key zone
range.
3. Drop the sample to insert it.
To import several samples this way, proceed as follows:
1. Select the samples that you want to import.
2. Drag the samples to the key on the Mapping editor keyboard where you want the
first selected sample to be placed.
3. Without dropping the samples, move the mouse up and down.
The samples are mapped chromatically. Moving the mouse up or down resizes the
key range for each zone.
4. Release the mouse button to insert the samples.
• If you move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the Mapping editor, the samples
are distributed to different velocities rather than key ranges.
The first selected sample gets the highest velocity and the last selected the lowest
velocity.
• If you press [Ctrl]/[Command] and move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the
mapping view, the samples are layered on the keys that you drop them on.
• If you press [Ctrl]/[Command] and point at a white key, the samples are mapped to
the consecutive white keys only, and the key range cannot be extended.
Pointing to a black key maps the samples to black keys instead.
If you drag samples from a separate browser window, the selection order determines
how the samples are mapped, with the first selected sample being mapped to the first
key.

Mapping Zones

To set up or change the mapping of zones in the Mapping editor, proceed as follows:
1. In the Mapping editor or the Program Tree, select the zones for which you want to
adjust the mapping.
2. On the context menu, open the Mapping submenu, and select one of the
functions.
The following mapping functions are available:
Option
Root Key Only
Root Key Fill
Centered
Root Key Fill Up
Root Key Fill Down
Importing Samples Using Drag and Drop
Description
Each zone is mapped to its root key only.
The zones expand to the left and the right of the root key to fill empty
spaces.
The zones expand upwards from the root key to fill empty spaces.
The zones expand downwards from the root key to fill empty
spaces.
