Chapter 21 EXS24 mkII 295
General Parameters
The following section describes the general parameters of the EXS24 mkII.
Legato/Mono/Poly Buttons
These buttons determine the number of voices used by the EXS24 mkII (in other words,
how many notes can be played simultaneously):
 When Poly is selected, the maximum number of voices is set via the numeric field
alongside the Poly button. To change the value, drag up or down to increase or
decrease polyphony. In general, source instruments that let you play chords, such as
a piano or guitar, are polyphonic, and lend themselves to this mode.
 When Mono or Legato is selected, the EXS24 mkII is monophonic, and uses only one
voice. In general, instrument sources that only play one note at a time, such as a flute
or Moog monophonic synthesizer, lend themselves to Mono or Legato mode.
 In Legato mode, Glide is only active on tied notes. Envelopes are not retriggered
when tied notes are played (in other words, playing a series of tied notes results in
only a single envelope trigger). For more information on the Glide function, see
“Glide” on page 301
 In Mono mode, Glide is always active and the envelopes are retriggered by every
note played.
Voices
This parameter determines the number of voices (polyphony) that the EXS24 mkII is
supposed to play. The used field indicates the number of voices that are actually used. If
both fields tend to show the same value most of the time (probably causing a
noticeable number of samples to drop out), you should set a higher voices value.
