Auditioning samples

You can audition the loaded samples in two ways:

By pressing [Alt] and clicking a sample in the sample column.

The mouse pointer will take on the shape of a speaker symbol when you move it over the sample column.

Clicking a sample will play it back at its root pitch. Furthermore, the sample will play back in its unprocessed state. That is, without any synth-parameters applied.

By pressing [Alt] and clicking a sample in the keyboard column.

The difference here is that you will hear the sample at the pitch corresponding to the key you clicked and with any and all processing applied. The click mimics a key played with velocity 100. Also note that this may trigger several samples, depending on whether they are mapped across the same or overlapping key ranges, and the velocity range settings (see "Setting up Key Ranges" and "Setting Velocity Range for a Zone" respectively).
