This provides a quick way to map a large bank of samples to specific ranges of a MIDI keyboard. It can be used for mapping large numbers of samples taken from musical instruments to narrow ranges on the keyboard (much as is done on a standard sampler) or for being able to select and trigger large banks of sound effects in real time (from a sequencer or from the MIDI keyboard).

To specify the samples that belong in the same bank, place all of them in the same folder or directory. Kyma will only look at the top level of your directory, so any folders within that folder will be ignored. The ordering of the samples within that file will be interpreted to be alphabetical by name (when ordering is important).

The files within the directory must all be mono or all stereo; mixtures of mono and stereo files are not guaranteed to be interpreted correctly.
