Setting the Root Key
The Root Key menu and settings allow you to specify how the root key for the samples
is obtained. The following options are available:
Option
From Sample File
Text from Sample Name The root key is extracted from the file name. This function
Number from Sample
Name
From Sample Name
Pattern
Fixed
If no root key information is found, the fixed root key is used.
Specifying the Velocity Range
You can specify the velocity range for the imported samples using the Vel Range
parameters in the Import dialog. The following options are available:
Option
From Sample File
From Sample Name
From Sample Name
Pattern
From Folder Name
Velocity Layers
Fixed Velocity Range The samples are mapped to the velocity range specified with the
If no information on the velocity range is found, the samples are mapped to the Start
and End Velocity settings instead.
Obtaining Information from File and Folder Names
Depending on the mapping settings, the information for root key, key range, and
velocity range is retrieved differently for file and folder names.
Using Name Patterns
Usually, names of sample files follow a certain naming scheme, for example,
"Sample_C3_Key_59-61_Vel_80-100". You can extract all this information from the
sample file name by selecting the "From Sample Name Pattern" option on the Key
Range, Root Key, or Vel Range pop-up menus and defining a pattern in the lower part
of the Mapping Options section.
You can use the Pattern field to manually edit your pattern and select variables from
the pop-up menu to the right. For the Name Pattern to work, your files and folders
must be named exactly as defined in the pattern, including underscores, hyphens, etc.
Description
The root key is read from the file header.
searches for root key information in text form, for example
"Sample_Name_C#3".
The root key is extracted from the file name, as above, but
instead of searching for text information, this function searches
for MIDI note numbers, for example "Sample_Name_61".
The root key is extracted from the sample file name according to
the name pattern you set.
The root key is set to a fixed key, specified in the field to the right.
Description
The samples are mapped to the velocity range saved in the file
header.
The samples are mapped to the velocity range that is extracted
from the file name.
The samples are mapped to the velocity range that is extracted
from the file name according to the defined name pattern.
The samples are mapped to the velocity range that is extracted
from the sample's folder name.
The samples are layered, that is, distributed evenly over the velocity
range.
