Window Reference Creating a Single Instrument from Multiple Samples |

Note: If you have more than 128 Samples selected, only the first 128 will be used.
To create one new Instrument using all of your selected Samples, and a one-track MIDI Song to trigger all the Samples in that Instrument:
Click the Combine Samples Into One Instrument (One Track Song) radio button (1). This option will create one Keymap Zone per Sample. You have two options for how those Keymap Zones will be placed on the keyboard. Pick one of the Keymap layout options by selecting radio button 2 or 3:

2 Split into equal zones
All 127 keys will be covered, with an equal number of MIDI key numbers in each zone.
This allows the Samples to be transposed by playing different notes, as in most multi-sampled musical instruments.
3 One per key, starting at:
Each selected Sample will be assigned to one MIDI key number, beginning with a key that you can specify and moving up the keyboard. No other MIDI keys will be covered.
This prevents the Samples from being transposed, for example percussion, singing, spoken word, or music recordings.
If you selected One per key, starting at:, then click the ... button (4) to pick the starting note. The Select Note dialog box will appear, with a keyboard you can click to pick your note. Click the OK button to accept your settings and close the dialog box. The newly created Instrument will appear in the Instruments tab of your Session window, with the name New Instrument, and the newly created Song will appear in the Songs tab.
