Adjusting EXS24 mkII Global Parameters
These parameters affect the overall behavior of the EXS24 mkII. You can find the global
parameters at the top left of the interface.
Vel Offset field
Hold via fieldCrossfade parameters
Unison buttonVoices/Used fieldsKeyboard mode buttons
Keyboard mode buttons: Switch the EXS24 mkII between polyphonic, monophonic, and
legato behaviors. See Choosing the EXS24 mkII Keyboard Mode.
Unison button: Enables or disables unison mode. See Using Unison Mode in the
EXS24 mkII.
Voices/Used fields: The “voices field determines the maximum number of notes that
can be played simultaneously. The “used” field is a real-time monitor that indicates the
number of voices that are actually used when you play the keyboard. See Setting the
EXS24 mkII Voices Parameter.
Vel Offset field: Increases or decreases the incoming MIDI note velocity value by ±127,
expanding or limiting the dynamic response of the EXS24 mkII to incoming MIDI note
events.
Hold via field: Determines the modulation source used to trigger the sustain pedal
function (hold all currently played notes, and ignore note-off messages until the
modulation source value falls below 64). The default is MIDI controller number CC 64
(the standard MIDI “Hold/Sustain controller number).
Crossfade parameters: Allow you to crossfade between layered samples (zones)—with
adjacent velocity ranges. See Using the EXS24 mkII Crossfade (Xfade) Parameters.
