Chapter 21 EXS24 mkII 297
 Save settings to instrument: Stores the current settings of the parameters window
into the instrument file. When the instrument is reloaded, these settings are restored
in the parameters window.
 Delete settings from instrument: Removes the stored settings from the instrument.
 Rename instrument: Opens a file dialog box which allows you to rename the current
instrument. This will overwrite the existing instrument name.
 Save instrument as: Allows you to store the currently opened sampler instrument
under a different name. When invoked, a file dialog box will open.
 Delete instrument: Deletes the opened sampler instrument.
 (Recall default EXS24 mkI settings): For sampler instruments that were created using
the older EXS24. This will recall the parameter settings for the former version of the
selected instrument, especially the former modulation paths (see the “EXS24 mkI
Modulation Paths” section, from page 310 onwards). For sampler instruments that
were created in the EXS24 mkII, this parameter is of little use.
 Extract MIDI Region(s) from ReCycle Instrument: Allows you to extract the regions
contained in a ReCycle instrument. If no ReCycle instrument is selected, this option is
dimmed.
 AKAI Convert: Launches the AKAI Convert window (see “Converting AKAI Files” on
page 289).
 SoundFont Convert, SampleCell Convert, DLS Convert, Giga Convert: Each of these
commands will launch a dialog with instructions on performing these conversions.
 Preferences: Opens the EXS24 mkII preferences (see “Setting Sampler Preferences”
section, from page 334 onwards).
 Virtual Memory: Opens a settings window, used to configure the EXS24 mkII’s virtual
memory functions. Virtual memory allows samples of almost unlimited length to be
played back, using streams (of audio data) that are fed directly from the hard disk in
real time. See “Configuring Virtual Memory” for more information.
Vel Offset
The Vel(ocity) Offset parameter—found towards the top left of the EXS24 mkII—offsets
the incoming MIDI note velocity value by ±127. This limits or expands the dynamic
response of the EXS24 mkII to incoming note events.
