Samples can only be mapped correctly on import if all samples follow the same name
pattern. If no matching pattern is found, the samples use the settings for Root Key,
Start and End Key and Start and End Velocity instead.
Using the Position Setting
The Position setting determines the position in the file name at which the program
searches for the information.
• When this is set to "0", the entire file name is searched.
• When you select a number from the pop-up menu, the program starts searching
after this number of characters.
Every character is taken into account, including spaces.
The Tune and Gain Settings
The file header of the sample can contain information on the tuning and the gain of the
sample. On import, this information is retrieved as well.
To switch off reading the Tune and Gain information during import, deactivate the
corresponding options below the Pattern field.
Listening to Samples before Import
You can listen to the samples before importing them. The corresponding controls can
be found above the Mapping Options section in the Import dialog.
The following controls are available:
Option
Play
Stop
Pause
Loop
Auto Play
