on the vertical axis and the keys on the horizontal axis; that is the map. When you select all the files and drag them onto the mapping editor, Kontakt automatically arranges the files side-by-side. They show up as vertical bars on the right called zones. This is a typical one-sample-per-key sampler setup where each key triggers only one sample for an entire midi velocity range. A midi velocity range spans from a value of 1-127. Let’s recap the terminology: a midi map is a graph plotting midi velocity ranges versus key note ranges. A zone is a region on that midi map that occupies a small section of the vertical axis and a small section of the keyboard on the horizontal axis. So if you have two zones, both spanning from C3 to C4, but with one spanning velocities 1 to 63 and another spanning velocities 64 to 127, then you will trigger one zone by hitting any key note between C3 and C4 hard (values 64-127); you will trigger tha other zone by hitting any note between C3 and C4 soft (values 1-63). Get it? We’ve added multiple zones over each note, each zone carries one sample, defines
each the

range of the sample it carries. The yellow highlighted zones are to give you a clear idea of how the zones are grouped. There are four layers or zones to our multisampled
