I can't find the Mapping Editor. Please Help.

Post by monogee »

First, I load a .WAV sample into the Parts section by double-clicking on the Parts window. The problem arises when I try to get to the Mapping Editor once the sample is loaded. I see the waveform of the sample in the display window, but I can not get the Mapping Editor to appear. I know you are suppose to click on the Info Window, but it does not appear. What am I missing? Thanks.

Directly above the keyboard you should see a margin with some words in it: "Select:... Root:... Key:... Vel:..."

Directly above that space is a blue line. Grab it and pull up. Map editor expands and appears. Ta-daaaaa!

;)

That's the thing, I don't see the keyboard, just the waveform. I've tried that, moving the cursor around the display area, but no luck.

Loading a single sample in an empty part opens the sample in LoopLab. You'll know you're in LoopLab because the Keygroup and Layer sections of the MachFive window change to a LoopLab section. If you want to load a single sample to a part without opening it in LoopLab, you have to drag it directly onto a key in the Mapping Editor.

Great, that's what I thought. Thanks.
