Chapter 21 EXS24 mkII 287
Generating a Zone for Each Slice
The Extract MIDI Region and Make New Instrument command creates a new EXS24
instrument from a ReCycle file, and generates an independent zone for each slice.
To create a new EXS instrument and assign each slice to a zone:
1 Choose Instrument > ReCycle Convert > Extract MIDI Region and Make New Instrument
in the Instrument Editor.
2 Browse to, and select the desired ReCycle file in the file selector, then click Open.
3 Enter a velocity factor in the Create MIDI Region window.
The velocity factor determines how the loudness of each slice of the imported ReCycle
file affects the velocity values of the MIDI note generated to trigger it.
 If a positive value (up to 100) is entered, louder slices will generate MIDI notes with
higher velocity values.
 The use of negative values on louder slices will result in the generation of lower MIDI
note velocities.
4 Click OK.
The EXS24 mkII generates a zone for each slice of the imported ReCycle file, and assigns
these zones to one group (see “Editing Zones and Groups” for more information on
zones and groups). The new EXS instrument will be assigned the name of the ReCycle
loop. Should an EXS instrument of that name already exist, a # sign and a number will
be appended. In other words, if you import a ReCycle file named Tricky Backbeat—but
Tricky Backbeat already exists as a sampler instrument—the imported instrument
would be named Tricky Backbeat#2, ensuring that the filename is unique within the
Sampler Instruments folder.
In addition, a MIDI region is generated on the currently selected track, at the current
project position (rounded to whole bars). This MIDI region is used to trigger the
imported slices at the timing defined by the ReCycle file. You can generate new MIDI
regions at any time from the imported EXS instrument (see “Generating a MIDI Region
From a ReCycle Instrument” section, from page 288 onwards), so feel free to modify or
delete it.
The Extract MIDI Region and Add Samples to Current Instrument command allows you
to add the slices of a ReCycle loop to any EXS instrument currently opened in the
Instrument Editor. This allows you to use several different ReCycle loops in a single
sampler instrument.
