An apparatus for decoding an encoded signal includes: an audio decoder for decoding an encoded representation of a first set of first spectral portions to obtain a decoded first set of first spectral portions; a parametric decoder for decoding an encoded parametric representation of a second set of second spectral portions to obtain a decoded representation of the parametric representation, wherein the parametric information includes, for each target frequency tile, a source region identification as a matching information; and a frequency regenerator for regenerating a target frequency tile using a source region from the first set of first spectral portions identified by the matching information.
