The Sampler Preferences window offers two preferences for Previous Instrument and
Next Instrument. These let you choose a MIDI event, such as a MIDI note, control
change, program change, and so on, to select the previous or next sampler instrument
in the sampler instrument list. See “Setting Sampler Preferences” for more information.
You can manually load sampler instruments that are not shown in the Sampler
Instruments menu, by using the Instrument menu in the Instrument Editor.
To load sampler instruments from other locations:
1 Open the Instrument Editor by clicking the Edit button in the upper right corner of the
Parameters window.
2 Choose Instrument > Open, then locate the desired instrument in the ensuing file
selector box.
It is strongly recommend that you copy any EXS sampler instruments, along with their
associated audio files, to your hard drives. This way, you always have direct, immediate
access to your sampler instruments without searching for and inserting CD-ROMs or
DVDs. This also allows you to organize your sampler instruments in accordance with
your needs.
