Power-user shortcut for creating new Instruments from selected Samples.
Instruments can be complicated, and creating them from scratch can be tedious. For simple Instruments,
the Make Instrument Using command automates the worst of this work: creating new
Instruments and setting up their Keymaps.

- Note: Complicated or advanced Instruments will require further work in the Instrument Editor
window.

About the Make Instrument Using command
The Make Instrument Using command behaves differently depending on how many Samples
you've selected:
|
- With just a single Sample selected, the Beatnik Editor will go ahead and build you a new
Instrument using that Sample for all 128 notes, without displaying any dialog box.
- With more than one Sample selected, the Beatnik Editor displays the Make Instrument dialog
box because it needs to know what kind of Instrument you want to make - you might want to
create just one Instrument using all the selected Samples, or you might want each Sample to
go into a separate Instrument of its own - and how you want the Keymaps to be laid out in the
resulting Instruments. When you click the OK button, the Beatnik Editor takes your instructions
and creates the Instruments, all in a single step.
