4. Select how you want the new voices to be mapped from the Placement drop-down
menu:
• White Keys maps each voice sequentially to a white key, beginning at the key
selected in the Start at field.
• Chromatic maps each voice sequentially chromatically, beginning at the key
selected in the Start at field.
5. Under Start at, enter the lowermost note where you want placement to start.
6. Click OK.
You should now have new voices, each using the same sample, but different regions. It
might look something like this:
More About Regions
You should remember that if a sample contains loops, selecting a region does not
override these loops; Selecting a region merely determines which portion of a sample is
allowed to play.
However, if you select a region that excludes part of a loop, such as the start or end
point, that loop will not repeat.
Warning: If a region contains only a part of the sample, DO NOT edit the sample in the
Sample Editor (e.g. Time Stretch, Sample Rate Convert, etc.). Doing so will cause region
information to become incorrect. This does not apply if a region contains the entire
sample.
Since regions contain the entire sample by default, this is only a potential issue if you
have created a region. To ensure a region contains an entire sample, you can always
Alt-Click the sample region bar to restore the region to its default setting.
