You can adjust the key range of zones in a number of ways:
1. Select the zone in the Key Range area.
2. Point and click on one of the handles that appear at each end.
3. Drag the handle left/right.
Dotted lines extend from the edges of the zones up to the keyboard area. These lines give you a visual indication of which keys the key range will encompass. There is also an alphanumerical indication at the bottom left of the display.
4. Repeat the procedure with as many zones as you wish, to create a complete key map.
Directly below the key map area is a row of knobs. These are the sample parameters. As the name implies, they are used for changing various parameters that affect how the zones are played back. In the middle of the sample parameters area are two knobs called "Lo Key" and Hi Key".
These can be used for setting the low key and the high key of a zone's key range, just like dragging the boundary handles as described above:
1. Make sure the zone for which you want to set the key range has edit focus.
2. Use the knobs to change the corresponding key - low or high.
Check the display right above the knobs for an indication of the key. You can also keep an eye on the lines extending from the zone edges to the keyboard area.
The area directly below the keyboard area is called the tab bar. This shows the key range for the currently selected zone, and also contains boundary handles.
These handles can be used much to the same effect as when dragging the boundary handles in the key map display. However, the handles on the tab bar can change the key range of multiple zones at the same time.
The tab bar shows the key range for the zone with edit focus.
Dragging the boundary handles for that zone will also simultaneously change the key range for a number of surrounding zones if:
The high key or low key (depending on which handle you drag) of the other zones are the same as the zone with edit focus.
The other zones are adjacent to the zone with edit focus.
Note that it doesn't matter whether the other zones are selected or not. They will be affected anyway.
You can also move entire zones horizontally, thereby changing their key ranges.
1. Select all the zones you want to move.
You can move several zones simultaneously.
2. Point on any of the selected zones, and press the mouse button.
You can also move a zone by dragging anywhere between the zone boundary handles on the tab bar. When you do, the surrounding zones will be affected just as when dragging the boundary handles in the tab bar.
This can be used to "slide" a zone in relation to its surrounding zones.
