Window Reference Creating Multiple Instruments, Each with a Single Sample |

New in version 2.1: This dialog now includes a checkbox option for the Specify Root Key value. This allows you to preserve the Samples' original Root Keys in the newly created Instruments, if desired.
The Separate into Multiple Instruments option creates one new Instrument for each selected Sample. For example, with five Samples selected, you'd get five new Instruments. All created Instruments will use the same Root Key, which you can pick. If you want to assign a different Root Key to any of the created Instruments, you'll need to open them in the Instrument Editor window.
Note: If you have more than 15 Samples selected, only the first 15 will produce new Instruments and be used in the created Song. This is because MIDI channel 10 is reserved for percussion, leaving only 15 available MIDI channels for triggering the Instruments.
To create one new Instrument for each of your selected Samples, and a multi-track MIDI Song to trigger all the Samples in that Instrument:
Click the Separate Into Multiple Instrume nts (Multi-Track Song) radio button (1). This option will create one new Instrument per Sample. Click the ... button to pick the Root Key (2). The Select Note dialog box will appear, with a keyboard you can click to pick your note. All of the new Instruments will share this same Root Key. Click the OK button to accept your settings and close the dialog box. The newly created Instruments will appear in the Instruments tab of your Session window, and the newly created Song will appear in the Songs tab.
