Triggering a region using MIDI commands 
1. 
Right-click the region tag (  ) and choose Edit from the shortcut menu. The Regions List appears. 
2.  
Click the down arrow (  ) in the region’s Trigger column and choose a trigger type from the drop-down list. 
Trigger type 
Description 
Note On - Play 
The region will be played when the specified note on message is 
received and will play for the full length of the file. 
Note On - Play / Off - Stop 
The region will be played when the specified note on message is 
received and will stop when the full file is played or the specified 
Note Off message is received. 
Note On - Queue / Off - Play 
The region will be queued for play when the specified note on 
message is received and will play when the corresponding Note 
Off message is received. This is used to reduce the time between 
receiving a trigger and playing a marker. 
3.  
In the Chan box, specify the MIDI input channel for triggering. 
4.  
In the Note box, specify the MIDI note that will trigger region playback. This value can be entered as a MIDI note value such as C4 or 
as a MIDI note number such as 60. 
Notes: 
•   If the Trigger from MIDI Timecode command (Options MIDI In/Out submenu) is selected, you can auto-complete the Chan and 
Note values by pressing a key on your MIDI keyboard. 
•   Triggers in the Regions List function differently from triggers specified in the MIDI Triggers dialog and the Playlist. When using triggers in 
the Playlist, Regions List, or MIDI Triggers dialog, be aware that they can interact to create unexpected results. Sound Forge software 
first looks at the MIDI Triggers, then the Regions List, and then the Playlist when determining what to do when a MIDI command is 
detected. If you only want to use the triggers in the Regions List, turn off all the triggers in the MIDI Triggers dialog and the Playlist. 
Using markers to create regions 
Once you have placed markers in a waveform, you can use them to create regions. For more information, see 
Locking loop and region lengths 
From the Options menu, choose Lock Loop/Region Length to force the length of a region to remain constant when changing the start 
or end time of a region or loop. 
When this option is not selected, you can hold the Alt key while dragging region markers to lock the length of a region. To move a loop 
without changing its length, drag the bar between the loop markers. 
Creating new files from regions 
You can quickly create a new file from each region in a file. Each region is named by appending a numerical value to a user-specified 
prefix. 
1.  
Open an audio file and create several regions in it. 
2.  
From the Tools menu, choose Extract Regions. The Extract Regions dialog appears and all current regions appear in the Regions to 
extract
 pane. 
3.  
Select the regions to be extracted.
